I wonder how you manage to leave no gaps between your chips 
Do you reshuffle them every time?

I guess when you think about it thats true. Since there are only a handfull of us who collect through our buying on e-bay we effect the prices of used chips to a greater extent than any other factor. Indeed, I suspect are bickering  about prices for specific chips in the forum becomes the standard. That reminds me a great deal of the way gold is valued on the comodities market. I guess it is a good thing that most of us collectors are cheap bastards. Otherwise we would be broke  |

There are also plenty of chinese collectors out there which have their own forums and sites. I suspect the chinese market is even bigger than ours.

It is, bigger than we imagine it to be. What I'm not sure is how many dozens of forums there are about chipcollecting

I have noticed some pretty exciting stuff showing up from china on e-bay. I guess in most populous country in the world one can expect a good number of collectors. Also, this is purely speculation, but I bet a great deal of "outdated" PC's were sent from the US to china. Jokes on us. Now we buy them back as collectables for a pretty penny.  |

My collection extends from the celerons to the pentium pros (refering to the first pic at the lower left corner).
