Hey Ron, I took no personal offense at anything you said, but then again, most comments on the I-Net roll off me like water off a ducks back...so *shrug*

I am one of those idjits that pay big bucks for these chips ($49 for the January one, less for the others) for the specific reason that I DO collect as a HOBBY! If I was in bidnez, well, then I probably wouldn't pay that much for 'em, just to make a couple bucks selling (now, if I could've bought 'em for $7.50 like they were going for when they first came out, HE!! yeah! But me, my collection is for me (and perhaps for the kids someday after I kick it, at which time I probably won't care ;) ), so I collect what I want for my collection.

If that means paying $49 or more to get a hooter's in my hand...well...so be it. *shrug*

If that makes anyone else call me a dummy...well...I've been called worse for better reasons...so *shrug* oh well.

Hey, as has been said, men (and women - hey, I have the movie to prove it!) have been making fools of 'emselves since about 18 years after the dawn of time ;) Who am I to argue with history :)
