The first VS chips sold for $200 each and then resold in Calif for $300. I started selling them at $300, thereafter... and some of those resold at over $400 each, I found out. Around the time David Sarles came into his $5 and $25 VS chips (see archives) is when the price dropped. Even at that point the LV suggestion was tossed around. TCR notes mention Sneed as well....!
