I know it sound like bait, that's why I have't said much, although I've been reading this board for almost a week. I can't convince you either way. Many of you are suspicious by nature, maybe that comes from the gambler side. You might think about, I've not offered to sell you anything or told you which e-bay seller I am. I also have not provided an e-mail address, so you know there are no private conversations going on. As far as I can tell, there are plenty of chips available at low prices, even the ones I've mentioned as less common. Comparitively, I have very few chips, less than 50. I am selling on e-bay, but I will not relist what does not sell. As I have so few, I will keep the remainder. I do however, know several of the construction workers and 4 of the police officers who were on site, so I feel my numbers are somewhat reliable. As you've said, it's hard to say for sure how many have been found for certain. I think you may be correct in the "garbage" thought. Probably, that is why they were originally ok'd for anyone to take. You know what they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. - Frank
