Here's an example: A $1 chip that I needed in my collection was over $30 -- my reply why so much? Answer: We have to get back what we have invested in the chip. That chip is a max $10 and I would have been happy purchasing it at that price. I have now passed on chips I really need from this seller, because I am not going to waste my time asking for an outrageous price. I have made some great purchases from members -- sometimes costs a little more than I wanted to pay, and other time below what I thought I should pay. Having said that, my most concern is when a seller lists an item for sale at a set price, you email them accepting the price and you never get an email back saying anything about the sale. Now, I feel better I got that off my chest! Happy Chipping..
