I read most of the posts that people place on this board pertaining to e-bay auctions. I bid on quite a few items on e-bay every week, most of which I find a link to off this board. A lot of times I end up bidding on chips that before I read about them on this board I wouldn't have known about the auction at all. I am new to this hobby and there are a lot of chips that I don't have. Most of what I see I don't have! If I see a link to it on this board I am willing to bet that who I am dealing with is someone that I can trust to complete a transaction. Just my 2 cents.
