For too long you were ripping off good people just for you to have profit.
You never cared about the club, its officers, or the people that you screwed
over. So dont bother comming back your are not wanted.
ps. Your rare hard to find bs scam will be one of the greatest jokes that we
will tell forever.

Agreed - I did not get along with "everyone", but I did with the majority.
When you throw 150+ people together at a tournament, not everyone gets
along. There are those who I think were jealous of the business I built up
concerning silver strikes and casino chips. There a many who stopped going
when some strikes started to be clad and not .999, some left because it was
costing up to $15.+ to get a $10. strike. There are some who had left due to
arrogant people like you. There has been a big turnover of those who play at
the tournaments now, alot of know it alls.

I have not, and never will, kiss someones butt to be their friend. I am me, so
if you like me fine, if not, that is your choice. It is childish to make a post like
you did, not to mention slanderous.

I don't know who you are or who you think you are, but your talking out your
butt. Just a loser running your mouth when you do not even have your facts
about why I was buying & selling so much. It was a business to make money,
just as is other members who buy and sell to make money.

#1: Be careful calling someone a "thief" in writing. it is a case for liable
(I have made a copy of your post)

#2: Buying, selling and trading strikes was a "business" for me, and I did
make in excess of over $195.000.00 over the years buying, selling and
trading silver strikes that does not include over 1000 casino chips and
coins I sold over the years. I still have alot of silver & gold coins I am
going to sell off ..... Many would agree it was a sucessful "business".

I shut down my ebay account for several reasons ....
a: High ebay store & selling fees just kept going up - called "FEE BAY" now
b: Because I am now 80 years old and I just want out - made my money

I had over 250 followers on my ebay account with over 1800 sales and
I had a 99% rating plus had buyers from 6 countries.

Explain how I was "ripping off people"? I bought and traded strikes for
over 20 years to "make money" like any other business.
Nobody twisted anyones arm to sell strikes to me cheap - if I thought it
was a good deal, I bought, I also passed on alot of offers.
There were many times that I bought complete collections of strikes.

On several occasions, I had spent in excess of $5000. from a single seller
buying strikes at the tournaments. Ask Jeff, he would vouch for me that
my checks were good.

Explain how the "rare & hard to find" is a BS scam and a joke?
I have had, and still have strikes and silver casino coins you could only
dream of having. Some club members know of many rare strikes I have had
over the years because I was not afraid to spend big $$ to have rare strikes.
for resale. I have sold strike sets that again you could only dream of owning.

Just A Few Examples Of The Many Rare Strikes I Had Over The Years:
1: The ultra rare Cleopatra $200. prototype plus a single digit other

2: I had 2 each of Caesars $10. NO DATE Coloseum and NO DATE Chariot
only 5 each of those known to exist

3: 2 sets (4 each) of the first 4 Queens gold plated $200. strikes

4: Several Sierra Sid's 1lb. "ET Sets"

5: Several Treasure Island $200. strikes

6: Over 30 "Standing Liberty" $200. Strikes - all casinos that put them out

7: Complete Platboy sets each with the 3 $300. M. Monroe strikes and
all the $10. Playboy Club strikes

8: I had at least 8 of the 20 sets - Hard Rock 5 piece hand painted $1
casino tokens given to HR executives, not available to the public
I have 2 sets left, would you like to purchase one?

I could go on and on rare strikes I had and still have, strikes you only dream of owning.
So tell me what the BS scam was or is ??

With the price of silver, the days of getting a 1 troy lb. silver strike, a 6 troy oz. or getting
a 3 troy oz. tournament strike or 1 1/2 troy oz strikes are just about over because of the
expense for a casino to fill silver strike machines and running silver strike tournaments
with silver coins are about over.

Climb back in the hole you came out of and grow up.
