Anybody knows if those chips are any good? the price is pretty low, but shipping is high since I'm in canada...

what do you guys think, are they worth it?

[TenPercenter]

I think they're worth it. It's hard to tell from the picture, but they seem a bit more glossy than my old super-diamnd chips with that same mold. The ones I have seem almost like real clay, so they may too.

$36 shipping in the US kinda negates the price advantage. Still... if you can get multiples with shipping breaks/different shipping method/actual cost shipping, these plus a little rubber stamp security make a great 30+ tournament set.

With shipping (in the US) it works out to a hair under 6 cents a chip...you would be hard pressed to beat that price.

The shipping is high, but that's how a lot of ebayer's increase their profit margin as ebay doesn't charge a "rake" on shipping, but you have to compare total cost with other alternatives to see if a deal is good. I can't speak about the quality of the chip itself but that total price beats any online price I've seen.

6c chips

You might consider these. Nice weight. Nice texture.

Agreed. And you can trust 5star for quick/fair shipping.

The 10 Gram Dice Chips that TenPercenter agrees with are the best buy out there....period. I can assure you they will absolutely smoke the ebay chips in regards to feel and weight and even their sound. Go with the 10 Gram Dice chips. You won't be sorry.

The 10-grammers are the best buy out there for cheap chips.... unbelievable 5-star deal for 6¢ each plus reasonable shipping. And they feel and sound better than "cheap" chips. If you're not ready for better chips (like Nexgens) or the best chips (Paulson/Chipco), these are fantastic.

With Shipping, the 5 star chips (and they also carry the identical chips as the one on Ebay for 6 c before shipping) come to $75(shipped to my location) and the Ebay deal would be for a total of $59...so there is nice little differencial in there but now u have all the info, so choose what works best for u.

Yes. But you can get hot-stamping on the ones from 5-star and you can choose your chip distribution...

(I believe the hot-stamping is about .09 per chip, right now.)

But if those aren't desired, I like the eBay deal.
