Rich,

Here are my answers to your questions:

HI JOHN, EARLIER I SAID I WOULD TAKE 5 OF YOUR CHIPS OFFERED ...

YOU EMAILED ME THAT THEY WERE GONE ... Yes, several of them were gone.
HOW STRANGE ONLY A FEW MINUTES WENT BY AND NO ONE POSTED A SOLD TAG ON ANY OF YOUR YOUR CHIP OFFERINGS. I often have duplicates of these chips, and do not want people posting sold tags on my posts, as they have created confusion in the past when either:
a) one person posts sold, and somebody else previously emailed me below that directly to buy the chip, and the chip is not available; or
b) I have duplicates of a chip.

SECONDLY YOUR EMAIL ALSO STATED THAT YOU NEED TO COLLECT SALES TAXES FROM ME UNLESS I COULD PROVIDE YOU WITH A RESALE NUMBER ETC.
Yes, this is consistent with how I have run my sales for many years now, and no different from how I would handle another other person asking me to ship items to a Nevada address.

WHICH I CAN, BUT FOR SECURITY AND ABUSE BY SOME ... I RATHER NOT.
I understand, and we went through this the last time that you wanted to buy a chip from me, and in the end you chose to cancel the sale. This is part of the reason that I did not wish to try to attempt a partial sale with you.

BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. BY THE WAY ARE YOU A CLUB MEMBER?
Yes, R-3390

I CHECKED THE DIRECTORY AND YOUR NAME IS NOT IN THE MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY.
I don't have the directory, but I have been a member many years. I sent my renewal in earlier this week, and I received the annual payment reminder around the 4th. Perhaps that could be why I don't show in a directory.

DO YOU HAVE A BUSINESS IN NEVADA?
Yes

DO YOU COLLECT AND FILE THE MONTHLY SALES TAX REPORTS TO THE NEVADA DIVISION OF TAXATION ?
Partially yes. I file my state sales tax returns quarterly.

WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH MY RESALE NUMBER?

DO YOU REQIURE ALL CHIP OF YOUR CHIP BUYERS TO DO THIS?
I do not require all buyers to provide a resale number. However, if the sale takes place at a show in Nevada, in person in Nevada, or via eBay, or online in Nevada, yes I collect and remit sales taxes to the state of Nevada.

I AM CONFUSED ... CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN
I presume that between this post, and the email I sent, that I have done a reasonable job of explaining.

... IF YOU DO NOT CARE TO SELL ME CHIPS, THAT'S OK ...
I think that it is safe to assume that we probably won't be doing any business in the future. I would guess that you wouldn't give me the time of day if I had posted the same email about you.

BUT PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING ...
I presume that between this post, and the email I sent, that I have done a reasonable job of explaining.

I AWAIT YOUR ANSWER ...
Sorry for the delay, but I was entertaining guests until about 30 minutes ago when I began to reply to your email.

THANK YOU RICH BURGEL ... LOST VEGAS ANTIQUES
Remember folks, this could have more appropriately be handled between two people via email or phone without posting to the board for all to see.

Rich, I hope that this answers your questions, and will put this to rest once and for all.

Regards,

John
