Hi Robert. I hope you realize that you could have described these chips as being in "great condition". As you know "Great" is a relative term and puffery is perfectly acceptable when used in describing a chip. I used to think it was wrong, misleading, unethical and just plain wrong. However, after reading many posts, I find that I am in the minority, as are you.

A little more creative writing and an opening bid of about $75 could have been made.

You're just too honest.
