Interesting (and I recall reading a story online about a bunch of these), but you've got to love the starting bid!!!

Yah, so I hope that is a live chip.

Frist time trying to sell something, is my guess. Doesn't have any seller feedback listed.

Here is an interesting story about Bob Stupak and the $5,000 chocolate chip.

Thanks for finding that link. That was the story I had read, I just couldn't find it.

I also saw the second one show up. Interesting stuff. Just like the $1000 chips, I bet there is a bunch out there, and they are just showing up.

WOW, I can't believe no one has snatched this chip up

You're welcome for the link.

I'd agree that it is starting to look like someone has access to a lot of the Horseshoe chips that used to be hard to find.

I was going to ask you and Ross if you know this guy, I guess not. He's killing me with all these chips that I want.

Now that you mentioned it, he did offer me Second Chance Offers on 2 chips. I wonder how many more he's got?
