I see where she screwed up, but she wasn't trying to "screw" anyone.
The writing on the chip and the ad say EXACTLY the same thing...there is no statement in the ad what-so-ever that says the chip is from a Casino,(of course...it would have been better if the ad stated that this chip was NOT from a Casino)...it says "Emporium" which is a fancy word for a store. Whether there is a real Gunfighters Emporium or not, I do not know,(do any of us know EVERYTHING there is to know?)...but the chip does say "Las Vegas"....it does depict "Jesse James"...the chip does have the $5 increment on it...it is gray...it has no inserts...it is the hat & cane mold. And, in her ads it clearly say's "If you have any questions, please email".
I just checked the TCR, and it is listed as a fantasy chip...and I will inform Crystal of that fact. She did make a mistake...but an honest one. She acquired this chip as a part of a collection that she bought from a fellow chipper. This collection had 2 different chips from the Gunfighters Emporium...the rest of the chips in that particular collection were all real Casino chips. NO, this does not excuse her mistake...but along with the fact that she was listing several $5 chips for $4.99 at the time...does makes it more understandable. And with her long-standing reputation of being fair and honest, I think she deserves the benefit of the doubt.
If you have ever done business with Crystal...and most of you have...you would know that Crystal is not trying to "screw" anyone.
There is a new generation of chippers growing up among us...let's take the time to help educate them...and not be so quick to bash or label them.
I suggest you check into this for yourself, and then draw your own conclusions. Crystal sells alot of chips from "A" to "Z"...more than most on Jackpot or ebay, and she will treat you right.
Thanks again for your time.
