Where can I buy, GOOD and CHEAP chips.

[d_l0rd]

Hey there,

I hope that I have posted in the correct forum. I'm looking to buy a set of pokerchips but I have this philosophy about now paying more than I have to.

Something like this is what I'm looking for:
500 clay chips 11.5 g with aluminium case.

I got a local store here where I can buy that for $300 but
there must be somewhere I can get it cheaper.

Question no 2: I how found pretty cheap chipsets on the net but they got metal inserts and people think that those are lame. What do you think? I want the real deal.

Some people say that ALL chips got some metal in them.

So, where can I buy really cheap chips?

I believe all the 11.5g chips have the metal slug in them.

Your best bet for cheap prices is EBAY.com. If you don't want to auction for them, try 5stardeal.com

There are MANY places to get chips, many.
There are a few topics here that have dicussed this. They include links, and names of places that have them, from custom to very inexpensive. I have a set, mixed. I got from too places. 300 from ebay 11.5 composite, very nice but sort of slippery, when they are stacked. and 200 from pokerparadise, clay like, very nice I think, but sort of ruff looking. But they shuffle SOOOO nicely.
Check ouit the other topics on chips and go get samples!!
I am waiting for some, but I forget where they are coming from.
ciao`

500 clay chips 11.5 g with aluminium case.

Buy them from www.ebay.com from seller 5stardeal. You should be able to get this for a little over $100, including shipping.

I have noticed that buying the 5-Star chips at Ebay is cheaper than buying the same chips at their own website even without the auction. The "Buy Now" items from 5-star on Ebay are about $30.00 less than their website. And there are cheaper places than 5-Star, however, only 5-Star allows you to determine how many of each color you may want in the set (that I have been able to determine anyway). The others have pre-determined quantities of each color of chip.

These are some sites I've looked at:
(Besides the obvious Chipco.com or 5stardeal)
http://www.gamelandsports.com/.sc/ms...-Poker%20Chips (Either fan of cards or James Bond)
http://www.casinosupply.com/Merchant...tegory_Code=FC (Hat and Cane Presidents or Hat & Cane Dalmatian)
http://www.casinocom.com/ChipSale/solidcolorlist.html (What's this Cancellation mark thing? Are these chips deformed?)
http://www.pokerchipmart.com/pokerChips9GramClay.html

Spinettis on Ebay and has their own web site. I've bought chips from them twice and they are very friendly. You can pick your chip colors there as well. I think (from doing a lot of reading before buying recently) that all 11.5 g chips have inserts. If you want real clay you'll pay a lot more for them. BTW, I bought a 500 chip set w/case from Spinetti's on Ebay for $56, not including shipping which was just under $20 I believe. This was for the Dice design 11.5 g chips and I picked the colors I wanted.

Since I wan the chips to play tournaments I really want to decide the quantity of different colors my self. ex. 200 black 200 green 100 red.

What would be the easiest way then? they must ship to europe =)

They have many a different product on ebay.

The cheapest prices I've found are at pokerchipmart.com.

My friend ordered a nice set of 11.5g striped chips and a table top for less than I payed for them when I ordered through 5stardeal on ebay.

Edit: And he was able to customize his colors too.
