"Mark, I know what kind of person you are and how you run your business. I would not take the time to respond to the naysayers. As you know i have spent almost 000k with you since we started doing business 12 years ago. I am honored to be a customer of yours I apologize for the responses you get from the militant faction of our great hobby. Just keep in mind that they are a extremely small part of the hobby. (based on the 519 members, of which some have passed away or left the hobby, i would say they might represent less than half of 1 % of the hobby's ranks) Just keep up the good work and i will see you next time i get to Vegas. P.S. i bought 11 of the chips last night. Paypal right now."
I am going to take this good mans advice and will no longer respond to anything but positive remarks or questions to my posts.
Again for those whom are on the list, Please do not read my posts. They are not for you. Also, When you come in our store and ask to see the chips on the site (they are kept in a vault in our store) your I.D. will be checked against the list. If you are on the list consider this as your notice that you will be trespassing if you attempt to enter our store. You don't want to be here and we don't want you here (can't stand the negativity and i consider you a potential threat to the safety of my employees and family). Again, This is just our way of helping you to keep your pledge.
To those of you whom i do business with. Thank you again for your patronage. This will be my last post mentioning the list period.
We will not process and order or a bid online from a person on the list however. If the watchguards of the list would provide me with a list of the emails i would post them directly into my blocked bidder list on my website so that they do not have to go through all of the hassle every time they inadvertently try to do business with us. You can appoint someone to bring the list in and post it to the blocked bidder lists and then take the copy of the list back. I wont waste time giving my word about not using the emails for any other reason....
To those of you who say i am in it only for the money. I have been collecting chips since i was 18 years old. I am 50 now. I have a tremendous collection and having the store has allowed me to sell them to myself at a fair price. I have six long double row boxes (no, not slab boxes) that comprise my collection. I have a list of collectors i have done business with over the years that have shown me the same level of respect i have shown them. They will get a list and a disk with pics on them and they will go to the highest bidders from this group when i pass. Your welcome in advance for this opportunity as i know many of you will be thankful( and will love the currently one of a kinds and high grade examples in the collection). Does this sound like someone whom is just in it for the $$$? I think not.
This is for the self proclaimed new collector who posted in the chain. You have never met me, you have no idea how i do business as you have never done business with me yet you wrote the following statement "provide a better service then you ever could. You sir, could care less of the hobby." It just amazes me that you have taken the time to form an opinion so negative of someone you have never done business with or met! Have you ever asked me a question about chips or how to get into the hobby or what do i collect and why? Of course not. If you had you would have heard about my over 30 years of collecting experience, bad decisions and good ones, rewards and losses, cool stories and hoards. This knowledge comes from years of COLLECTING not selling and buying but COLLECTING. I share all of this with my customers for the asking. It's part of running a successful business. Try being a leader who thinks for them self and not a blind follower who listens to a few before forming a decision so laced in negativity.
All done with this. Have a business to run. And proud of it.
Mark
