| Looking back at old topics on this forum I can see lots of members who are no longer active on the forum. What has happened to them? Stopped collecting or have they collected everything? |

Sometimes are external factors ....
for example now I have a dispute with 2 Ebayer and if will be closed without my satisfaction I will close my Ebay and Paypal account at the ends of this year ......
......and my activity will be very resized
........ so, one less buyer on the most interested Ebay auctions and here in the "sale" section" for you |

Unzlbunzl: suddenly disappeared - we even didn't finished our trades 
morkok: stopped collecting? His page is still online - the last update was 2006, but the forum is administered from time to time.
jd: poped out, made thousands of posts about nothing and disappeared. |

Yes, of course Grampa. 
Thanks for correcting me.

I don't think he has a big collection with rare chips in it, because he never purchased any chip with price more than $3 USD. All the chips he offered here for sale were also quite common. |

Unzlbunzl: no news from him, even after some PMs. We still have a transaction in standby.
jd: no news from him, even after some PMs. I paid chips but never received them too.

And what's about love945u-god?
He sold a huge amount of rare chips and disappeared.
Does somebody received chips from him?
And I'm still waiting for invoice for my purchases. |
