Yesterday I emailed 3 different vendors to inquire about a large (100,000 tokens) order. Well 24 hours has gone by and none of the 3 responded, but 2 vendors that I did NOT inquire to, responded back to me. Hmmm???I find that very interesting? Anyway one of them wouldn't even cut me a break off of their $53 + s/h for 1000. My conclusion is that the major suppliers of this hobby are doing an OPEC on us. I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to get wholesale prices on tokens. The best deal I can get at wholesale is $3 more per 1000 than I can get them at retail??? I smell some funny business going on. And I mentioned before (as others have as well) about the shill bidding on ebay on these machines. I have been following some auctions like a hawk, and my hawk smells a RAT!!!
