Allan,
There is something VERY wrong here.....When I say wrong I mean as far as the seller is concerned. Unless I am missing something I wonder why he does not mention any of what he said to you & James in his auction? Also, he goes ahead & refers to the $25 Silver Slipper chip with the BALCK inlay to sell HIS chip. These are two different chips! I agree when you say......

"As we know, the value of a chip is what someone is willing to pay."

In this case though he is giving out FALSE information! He is leading people to believe that he is selling a chip valued at $6,000 in James book when in fact it is a different chip. Comments? Andy - Las Vegas
