...There ain't no free lunch. Somebody pays for everything. I sell extra chips at a markup to those who do the same and sell them at face to those who reciprocate (there are over 40 on that "list" now). But,I do not claim that, when I spend the profits from those sales, what I got was "free"
You are wrong in that I do not dislike you, Andy. I enjoy talking to you when I am in Vegas. As I have said in the past, I admire the effort you have put into promoting this hobby.
In addition, here are a few things I think we agree upon:
1: Chipping is a great hobby, filled with a lot of nice (but sometimes grumpy) people.
2: Slabbing Sucks
3: Within the Code of Ethics, Collectors should be allowed to collect and Dealers should be allowed to deal.
4: Andy is a vampire (just kidding)
