Agreed, having bought numerous chips from sellers on this site and others, I would never take offense to someone who waited for the check to clear, particularly when above $100.

I have been surprised at times to have received the chips before the check could possibly have been received, let alone cleared (Bill, last week for one. I hope you got the check)

It stinks when one or two individuals take advantage of a trusting group of people, ultimately will result in the other 99.9% being subjected to a culture of distrust. I say we track down the cheat and convince him, "Olde Time Vegas" style, to restore our faith in his level of integrity.
