Ahhhh... you cannot answer my questions, nor can you defend your position so you lash out at me because I do not put a name with my posts. How childish, how pathetic.

My points are valid and based on fact not on conjecture or what MIGHT have happened and you can't deal with that. Can you? And you have the nerve to tell me to get a life!

You say my posts would have more creditablity if I tell you my name. Why?

You don't know me. I am not a member of your chip collecting community. I have never been to you conventions nor have I ever met any of you. I have no standing with you or anyone else on this board (other than the people who have bought chips from me). All I am doing is stating facts and selling chips. If you can't deal with that, don't bid on my auctions, don't read my posts. But don't say that you are going to provide answers to my questions whether I want them or not and then run away as soon as I ask a question that you can't answer.

I did not come here to "have fun" at anyone's expense nor did I come here to get into an arguement with you or anyone else. I came here to tell collectors that I have chips for sale. And while I am here to learn about chips and the people who collect them.

Once again for the record: I work for a re-seller of collectables and estates. People come to us to sell what they have accumulated, when they do not want to do it themselves. While researching the chips in this chip collection, we found this message board of people who collect what we have to sell. We posted messages anouncing that we have chips for sale. We have done this same thing for other collectables that we sell.

I follow the rules of the message board, I do not insult anyone, or call anyone names. I am polite, give credit were it is due, I say please and thank you. I do not make statements that I cannot verify or that I know to be untrue.

If it makes so much difference, my name is Lou Nacie. The e-mail address listed above is valid. Now that you have a name, answer my questions... defend your position... or admit that you were wrong.

Do you understand the difference between the statements... "known to exist" "could exist" and "were made"?

Do you own a copy of The Official US Casino Chip Price Guide? Have you read it?

Do you understand when James Campiglia says in his book that a certain number of chips are "known to exist" he is saying that this is the aproximate number of chips that can be verified. And that if more are found, the number is adjusted?

Do you know for a fact that the entire first issue of chips from The Pit was removed from the tables and is in storage?

Do you know for a fact that there is a 3rd, 4th or 5th issue of chips from The Pit also in storage?

How many games did The Pit offer? How many tables did The Pit have before it burned down? What was the total square footage available for gaming?

How many chips from "The Pit" do you own?

Tell me the url for a website that sells chips from The Pit.

I'll be waiting for your reply.

Have a GOOD day!

Lou
