You can be the judge & jury if you want, Andy. I do not know ALL the facts in the items you mentioned (I wonder if you do?). I DO know that I have had over 20 transactions with Dean, all of them handled satisfactorily, both before & after all the noise started. In the process, I have obtained some very nice chips at very nice prices. My feedback has been relative to MY transactions, not rumor & heresay. Since I am a collector, not a dealer in competition with Mr. Clark, my purpose has been to obtain the best chip available at the best possible price. I had no problem with the "Rare Police" getting on his case, although pompous description have never fooled me. Until I have some personal reason to stop dealing with Dean I will continue to do so.
