...I asked you, "what's your price to someone who only buys chips, NEVER sells chips, and never has any to trade?" You said, "Face value plus actual postage." I sell $5 chips for $8 plus actual postage. So, if I never sold chips, you'd give me a better price.

I sell to some people who find it too much trouble to go get chips and sell them to other people. They are perfectly happy to let other people do the work, and pay the asking price. They have TOLD ME SO. I don't mind. At least they're honest.

I have good friends right here in Reno who collect local chips. They have no interest in making chips available to other people or socializing here on the board. So you would give them a better price than you give me.

And what about someone who sells on eBay? What if they list chips for "less than face"? Of course they sell for whatever they get bid to. Do you sell them chips for less than face?

I don't care if you never sell me a chip or buy a chip from me, Paul. It's not about buying and selling chips. It's about collecting and friendships. Your repeated digs at people who offer new issues at anything over $7 for a $5 chip strikes me as unfriendly. But that's your right.
