But maybe my computer is different than yours. For those who can't see my response, it follows (and I apologize for the fact that I don't know HTML and have no idea how to bold face, italicize, etc.):
"I know I'm going to regret making this post. I could present an argument about MR = MC, market equalibrium, and other economic facts. But I won't. Rather, I have one simple comment to make. IF EVERYONE CAN HAVE SOMETHING, NOBODY WILL WANT IT. An exaggeration to be sure. However, simply put, scarcity = desirability. Personally, I would rather see a chip sell out than languish in the Cage for years. Lithographs are limited, Montblanc pens are limited (certain models), Thai Buddhist pendants are limited, etc. This makes them desirable. Does anyone want what everyone else has? I don't think so. Visit any of the NYC auction houses. Why do people bid? Because they want to have something that everyone else doesn't have. If they could buy the same painting, statue, jewels, etc. on 5th Ave. they wouldn't be bothered. Scarcity = desirability."
I'm sorry you disagree with me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm sure your knowledge of the English language is much better than mine. I'm a lowly Finance major with an MBA, English was never my strong suit. Is it an "error" if all chips have the same mistake (such as the 2000 Halloween which only had a denomination on one side)? Perhaps, but all the Secretary's Day chips will be released. On that I give you my word. Finally, your closing comment, and my responses (bracketed): "Don't you like to liked, Mark. Try it sometime. You may even enjoy it! (Who doesn't like to be liked? And what is the requisite to being liked? If I knew I might have had four young ladies going with me to the Aladdin opening (and two local dealers can attest to the fact that three young ladies were with me). Oh, so sorry, you didn't mean liked in that way.)"
