I followed through, Terry, with a polite post to the dealer about the chips and got a very polite response. Whatever the 'heat' it appears that you will not have to pay for the chips. My suggestion is that you send a thank you note to the seller. I doubt that he/she/it intentionally misled the bidders. In the future, you should be free to always ask the board about chips that interest you or contact one of us by private post. Thanks for the post.
