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.

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.

[JTrout]

I did not see the weight of the chips on eBay.
I would assume they are light (4-6gr).

There are chips made that look like the ones on the auction that weigh from 4 gr. up to 9 gr.

[PinataUT]

They are very light but feel surprisingly good. Good buy for the $, IMHO.
