This bickering on this bulletin board has gone on long enough. Life is tough. Stop blaming those who find a niche to supply a item to those of us with a vice. Everyone should be entitled to make a profit from whatever niche they can create. I as a collector don't like it too but Norm is just a great BUSINESS MAN. We in life have choices and can take off work and fly to Las Vegas to compete with Norm's entourage if we want those stupid silver things. This is a hobby for us and a Business for the casinos. If someone does not play those machines and move their strike inventory as soon as possible, they might as well remove them and then there would be no strikes to collect. How many of you would like that to happen. The casinos are not gonna wait for each and everyone of us to come in when we find the time and win one out of the machine. It has always been business before pleasure, in this case Norm is doing business before pleasure. When you stop collecting, how many of you would sell all of your strikes at face value? Peace
