I'm right there with ya...

It's discouraging to lose auction after auction to someone who doesn't really want the chip but only to try and re-sell it at a higher price.

There are certain individuals who are always jumping or sniping my auctions (some have even offered to sell me the chips afterwards) and my only re-course is to simply ignore them and try again.

As much as I want the chips shown on my most wanted list, I do not want them at any price. Eventually, I'll get them. Probably from those same "collectors" once they realize that they can't actually sell them for full catalog price.

BTW, I know that there are members who have backed off of auctions because they recognized the id and knew that I needed the chip for my collection. To those folks: you are simply the best!!
