Yeah I saw that last nite as soon as it went up and reported it immediately. Got an email back from safeharbor telling me how grateful they were and how they want to keep their environment safe, blah blah. Yet almost 24 hours later, its still up.

Item location:plymouth, United Kingdom | You know, that may be the location of where all my Vineyards ended up because of those two buyers over their who said they didn't get their chips. Paypal took over $500 from me this week even though I had tracking numbers. |

Hey, hey, hey folks...
I think some people may be jumping to conclusions too quickly here... this guy isn't offering the regular Vineyards, so we should show at least some degree of deference and respect. These are better than mint!
If you look closely at the auction you can see there's no risk or downside - the vendor clearly stands behind these chips :
"What You See Is What You Get...All items sold 'as-is' ...check pictures for quality"
hmmm,,, nice close-ups for purposes of quality.
But that's not the end of the accuracy in this listing. I was so blown away by the purported quality of these chips I had to calm down and ask the seller through eBay about this hitherto unknown rating of condition - my eBay question:
In your listing you indicate that the condition of the chips is: 1000 Actual Casino Poker Chips in MINT Condition or Better
I'm relatively new to the world of chip collecting but I've never seen better than mint so, before I bid, can you explain what makes a chip better than mint? THANKS
I'm waiting to hear back but I fully acknowledge that I've only been a collector of various things for a couple of decades so maybe I haven't yet learned what makes something better than mint!!
Once I'm properly educated I'll share this guy's wisdom. Sorry to sound cynical but this really pushes it.
Happy weekend  |

Better than mint?!? WOW!! I better call this guy right away and get on his approved bid list. I bet those metal flakes in the chips are actually real gold. That's the only way I could see them being better than mint!

Happy weekend | It has nothing to do with the chips, this guy is a fraud, he stole that picture from another ebay member, probably knows nothing about chips..Honestly would you risk selling your 1000 vineyards at a starting bid of $50 bucks.... |

Happy weekend | I guarantee that this is the exact same fraud that I saw last week. and ebay confirmed it...no one sells chips via direct email and so blantantly for that kind of money....
