Background thoughts first:
One of the reasons I don’t like murder/relabels is that it can create market confusion. If you post a rack of horseshoe Cleveland fracs for sale, I know they’re relabeles, because I happen to remember that there weren’t any Cleveland fracs. But a newbie wouldn’t know that. Hopefully the seller would disclose it, but maybe the seller doesn’t know. Same issue with a lot of those cheap ceramics people are creating.
Here’s my question/issue:
A rack of PCA fracs just sold, minutes after listing. Nowhere in the ad did it say, “these were customs, ordered from Apache, so they’re not technically authentic PCA chips.” Please understand, I’m not accusing anybody of deception. I don’t know if the seller even knew the history of the chips, and honestly, his price was more than fair. But I guess I’m just curious in hearing people’s opinions - DOES IT EVEN MATTER?
I mean, in this case, they’re genuine Paulson chips, so maybe that’s all that matters to people? To me, personally, if they didn’t come from the casino, they’re not authentic. But I have some strange ideas about chips.
Does it matter? If it matters, do we, as a community, have a duty to inform?
