I have no idea what Paul is referring to, or thinks he is referring to. My price to my subscribers is not affected by the number of chips issued. If I were not able to get enough to supply all of my regular subscribers, I would conduct some sort of lottery to determine WHO gets them, and at the regular price. That hasn't happened to me yet. But... if you're not a regular customer and you come to me after a chip sells out, I have no obligation to you whatsoever. And if I have chips after I've taken care of my subscribers and I choose to sell them on eBay, so waht?

Also, I try to make it clear to my subscribers that my service ONLY applies to chips that are available for purchase in the casinos at face value to whoever walks in the door, or available on the tables to whoever wants to buy in. It does NOT apply to NCVs or other promotional items not generally available to the public. If the casino will make them available to me so I can make them available to my subscribers, I will make them available at my subscription prices. I took a lot of flack over the Peppermill GO NCVs. I worked diligently for three months trying to obtain just one for my own collection. After I managed to come up with five, they started coming out of the woodwork. Apparently some people have better connections than I do. Maybe they should offer a "service" for this sort of thing. I'd love to subscribe <g>.

My service also does not include Wendover, Elko, or any other out of the way place like that. I wish to hell there WAS a service over there so I could get those chips for my own collection for a reasonable price. I'm not driving over 300 miles to get 20 chips to sell at $3 over face!
