What a well said thought!!!! I have often thought that for some, once they take the plunge and jump into the business of chip collecting/selling/reselling..etc.. full time, it really must take the enjoyment out of chipping. I think that once a hobby becomes a business venture, most of the reasons chip collectors got started collecting fly out the window. Now I realize not all people who buy/sell lose sight of why they collect chips but a few have lost their way. Hopefully we ALL can take the high road and lead them back to the purity of the hobby.
FWIW, that's my .3/4 cents worth
Thanks for listening to my inane ramblings
