Ron, Like you, I would prefer to spend my $$$ right here. Some sellers here are more then fair. Others, I found you need to be careful of. LIke any other purchase, you need to research the value of the product and just not assume it is a good buy or even a FAIR deal. "IF" the seller does not put his club # in with his name, I'm real careful, and if it's there I'm still careful. Everyone I've bought from through this board I have been happy with. Every offer that came from this board that I've passed on, I do not regret "at least at this time" I'm one that likes to see the for sale items, and really enjoy the chips that can be purhased in the $25 to $100 range. Even tho I can't purchase all of them, but on the other hand, I've never purchased one that wasn't posted. (HINT)
