I was searching though e-bay and came apon this interesting link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/REAL-CHIPS-FROM-...QQcmdZViewItem

I guess the theory is you pay a guy $200 to run around and grab $700 worth of real casino chips for you in vegas... I wonder if he will get any takers

...

****PICTURES OF CHIPS NOT ACTUAL PRODUCT BIDDING ON.**** <--the caveat...

$200 when I looked at it the buy it now was $899... I don't think I would pay some strange guy to do that... I would sooner pay someone here, we got lots of members who live (weither in a house or just on weekends) in Vegas don't we?

Its $899.00 so you get $700.00 worth of chips and he gets $200 for the time spent.. Personally I would just buy a $200 plane ticket fly down to vegas and get them myself

Now I follow..... that does sound a little dumb. BUT for some of us a trip to Vegas would be QUITE expensive... it costs me a little over $3000 just to get to Ottawa!!

Even though I would not 'hire' him, I am sure somewhere will... smart or not, there is always someone, somewhere that wants what you are selling... thats why ebay does so well.

Thanks for the helping me understand... it has been a rough couple of days

if my average income was $80,000 a year, I could see myself paying someone $200 to hop around 'insert European city' and mail me back $700 worth of jetons.

GUN, you find the person and I'll go in on it with you if you want, split the set and the cost of the service so to speak. Of course I think we may be alittle too picky on the exact jetons we want so it might be hard.

That´s 300 chips for $900 (Dunes?). How come I don´t get such ideas...?

It´s time to create a smiley that puk*s
