I was surprised to read about "walk-away" profits. The idea that someone walking away with a handful of tokens is instant profit. You paid .08 cents per token and "sold" it for .25 cents so if someone walks out with them you actually profit. Even more so if the tokens have been "sold" a few times already. It is a lot to read, but when you are forced to scan one set of pages at a time, it gets read out of sheer boredom :-) Lot’s of tokens sure, but also lot’s of $ made back in the day!

I couldn't read all of that stuff though, I'm not quite that interested....but the psychology of tokens put into words something that certainly is logical, playing to human perception.
