() You touch on a point here which Jay and I briefly discussed the other day and need to re-visit. The post you replied to raises another.
Regardless of the prices realised (which I agree with you were low), the fact that we have only recorded 2 sales of this chip on ebay, in a period where some approx 500,000 Nevada chips have sold on ebay, is a true indicater that it is rare. The only exception I can think to this rule would be where a person bleeding out from a known quantity of a particular chip, does not use ebay.
As you know, we have approx 'pertinent' 40,000 records of auction sales for NV chips. That is sufficient volume to consider that the frequency in which some chips appear (or dont appear) is just as valuable an indicator of their value (if not a better indicator) than the price trends themselves.
(btw I agree no $2.50 ebay sale is recorded)
The other point surrounds where, as in this case, TCR currently shows a letter code and asterisk.
Elsewhere in TCR, the asterisk appears without a letter code indicating (often quite rightly) that there is no market.
At the moment (and it might change tomorrow 
) my feeling is that it should be just one or the other.
eg Chip xyz is listed as M*. If there is sufficient data or knowledge to back up its status as an 'M' chip (or other code) then it should be just listed as such without the asterisk. If there is not sufficient data then it is just a '*'.
Yes, I understand that in some cases M* has been used as perhaps a small number have been found and there is a suspicion there will be more. In such a case, then its an 'M' until the suspicion is proven TCR is only a 'price guide', based on the best info we have. Lets not add 'speculation' (or wishful thinking) to that best info.
Jay may come back with a different view anyway
