Can I sell my Step tourney entry?

Maybe there's something I'm not understanding, but I've tried to buy-in to regular (non-Step) SNGs but I can't use my Step 4 entry chip to do so. It seems like the only thing I can use it for is to buy into a step 4 SNG.

Can you direct me to the original post you're referencing?

Thanks,

Not to sound rude, but when you signed up for the Steps, what did you think was going to happen?

Okay - I sounded like a little fishy that wants to be in the big games and suddenly pisses himself when he wakes up amongst the sharks, I know. Not a rude question, but here's my thinking: I have not seen much competition in the lower levels (steps 1 - 3), and was thinking that it might be pretty lucrative if I could just work on turning $12 into a step 4 entry chip (which I might be able to sell that chip for $400 let's say). I figured that would be a better return on my time investment than trying a step 5 (after watching several step 5s I know that I would often be outclassed).

Yes, I agree with other posters who say that only the top SNG players will really make $ off of this, but for $12 I've been able to play a lot of poker and to learn by playing with players who are better than I am - so it's still been a good deal for me.
