Hi Albert; Yep, I did get the chip after all. However, you did o.k. too with the sale of your chip in Howdy's auction didn't you? (I assume that was your $2.50 chip auctioned a couple of weeks earlier) If so, you got a decent price for it.... more than I was willing to pay. Yes, I did miss that $2.50 Claridge lot when it came up for bid at The Orleans. Brenda and I were out dining. As it turned out, I probably did better as I was prepared to go to $2000, plus the 10%, so in effect I "saved" $400 by purchasing it from the successful bidder the next day after the auction.
