- I just did a little calculation on these numbers... 100 chips at $5.30 is
- $530. Simple enough. How many at $11.13 would it take to break even and
- go ahead and buy 100 at $5.30? Only 47.6 chips! So forget the 50-99
- price scale... if you need 48 or more, just buy 100, and you'll spend
- less money and have lots of free chips. At the 25-49 price scale, you can
- get 41.9 chips for $530, or 36.9 for $530 at the 1-24 price scale.
-
- So, my point is this: I'd be willing to buy two of these at any price
- lower than $14.36 each. At $5.30, I'd buy four. Do we have 22 more people
- who would buy a pair of these at $5.30 each? Sounds like a neat toy to
- have in your junk box for a "one of these days" project, esp. at this price!

- Anyone else?
