BRUCE--I AM GETTING FLAT OUT SICK OF THIS AND DONT WANT TO DEBATE THE ISSUE WITH YOU ANY LONGER. I HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST PLAYBOY CHIP COLLECTIONS IN THE HOBBY, AS EVERYONE KNOWS, AND FOR ME TO MAKE THIS UP IS NUTS AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. FACT OF THE MATTER IS YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF CHIPS AND YOU ARE TRYING TO SAVE FACE AND GET WHAT LITTLE REMAINING VALUE THEY HAVE. YOU OFFERED THEM TO ME AT PRICES WHICH I HAVE SHARED WITH OTHERS, AND WHEN I EMAILED YOU BACK LOOKING FOR REALISTIC PRICES GIVEN THE APPROXIMATE MARKET VALUE AFTER DILUTION (DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS YET?). YOU THEN TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE GOING OUT TO SELL TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND I COULD NOT LET YOU DO THAT AT THE PRICES YOU HAD INTENDED, GIVEN THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE CONCERNING THE TOTAL EXISTING. I LOVE THIS HOBBY, AND HAVE MADE SOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS, AND I AM NOT ABOUT TO LET A GUY LIKE YOU COME IN AND RIP US ALL OFF. THIS HOBBY IS TRYING HARD TO GROW, AND IT IS GOING TO BE HARDER FOR ALL THE GUYS THAT GET BURNED TO STAY FAITHFUL TO THE HOBBY BY A DEAL LIKE THIS. COLLECTING IS FOR FUN, NOT FOR SCREWING PEOPLE OVER. THIS HOBBY WILL NEVER GROW IF WE PLAY SCREW THE NEW GUY TO EVERY NEW GUY OUT THERE. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, IF YOU WANT CASH FOR YOUR CHIPS-SEND THEM TO ARCHIE AND LET HIM AUCTION THEM OFF FOR YOU, STOP BOTHERING US. I AM NOT ABOUT TO LET YOU CHARGE MY CHARACTER, BECAUSE OF A DEAL LIKE THIS--I PROBABLY WILL GET HURT VALUE-WISE MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE HOBBY BY MY POSTINGS, BUT I DID WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR THE CLUB.
