... here's a hypothetical situation. Say this guy goes around to the casinos getting new chips and selling them for reasonable prices. (Of course Paul doesn't think my prices are reasonable, but that's another story.) Then a casino makes a chip to give away to a select group. They don't make it available to chippers. I'm not talking about one chipper getting there first and buying them all up to control the market. NO CHIPPERS can buy this chip at the casino. This guy with his little chip service spends a lot of time and effort to get one for himself, and in the process gets a couple of extras. Now, if he wasn't selling LEs to regular customers for reasonable prices, and participating as a member of the chipping community, it would be OK for him to sell his extras for whatever the market would pay, right? It's only because he has a service where he spends his nights and weekends running around to the casinos, watching for new chips to be released, selling chips for a couple of bucks over face so he can afford to put a few better old chips in his collection that his chips have no value, right?
