Burt,

Thanks for your kind comments. But there is a correction to be made.

I do not consider myself to be a chip dealer. I am a collector. As a collector, I learned the hobby and looked to buy duplicates to have as traders. Then I found that others don't always have traders and want to purchase instead. Well that is OK, because I can use the proceeds from the sales to get other chips that I need.

I am fully employed running sales for an IBM authorized computer reseller company. I do not make any money selling chips, in fact I spend far more buying chips each year than I do selling. This is a hobby for me, not an income producing business. I consider myself to be a collector, who buys, sells and trades. I do not consider myself to be a dealer. Not that there is anything wrong with being a casino chip dealer. It is just that this is not what I do.
