Just FYI for anyone interested in those chips, you can't get them at the store, only online. I went over there last night to get them and they don't carry any poker chips at all in the store right now. They don't even show up in their computer's database.

An even better deal!
Assuming you want a better quality chip.
Personal Poker Chips
They are having a sale on all NexGen chips. NexGen chips are bascially considered the best clay composite chip on the market. They normally retail for somewhere between $.50-$.60 per chip, but this sale has them down to $.14-$.17 per chip. Umm, can you say good deal!
This guy also does personalized labels, although looks like you have to apply them, but the price to 500 chips is only 50 bucks.
Edit: Ok maybe I might have been wrong on the typical pricing of these chips as http://www.apachepokerchips.com/
have NexGens for a very good price as well and someone else mentioned being able to find them online for as low as $.12 each. But most still recommend Personal Poker chips as the best place to buy from. |

Ok I am going to post some other good finds.
http://www.cardroomsupply.com/cardroomsupply/
These guys have Chipco Club Desperado chips on sale for $.66 each, so about 33% off.
http://www.spinettis.com/shop/item.a...d=203&catid=30
no pretty edge spots but supposedly a nice chip Turf Clubs for $.65 each.
http://nevadajacks.net/
These guys also have some nice looking higher quality for about a $.50 pricing per chip.
They also are the exclusive retailer for those American Beauties chips that I posted about sometime ago, which supposedly just received a write up in Playboy March 2006 edition. |

So check these out. 1000 PURE CLAY chips for $87 shipped.
I'm 90% certain those Cosco chips are clay composite or ABS. The only thing I wonder is if pure clay chips are really a good idea for casual use. Would they be durable enough? |

Never seen those chips before, but they look really interesting.
I noticed that same seller also is selling the 10g clay 3-color Casino chips as well:
His 1000 PURE CLAY THREE COLOR POKER CHIPS PRO CASINO SET is listed for $97 shipped, and he has a 500 set listed for $65 shipped. |

Don't get those chips, pure rubbish. Cheap rip-offs of NexGen chips is all they are. Seller is questionable as well, one for misadvertising and two he won't send samples. The pictures below should tell you all you need to know however.

These are made by Blue Chip and have been available only in sample sets. For $37 shipped you'll get 26 chips: 5x ($1, $5, $10, $25, $100), plus 1 bonus $500 chip.

They are almost done with the entire series which will go as high as a $100,000 chip design.

That is not cheap at all. I'll take the American Beauties for less. They are 500 chips for $359, so about $.75 each.

Well buy them already so we can play with them! 
Personally, while they are nice to look at, not sure I'd want to use them in a game.
I'd recommend buying a sample set of any chip design before pulling the trigger, especially if they are over $.25 a chip. Chips can look great from pics, but in play they can have a feel and or sound that you might not like.
Scott, or anyone else, if you come across a site or eBay listing that sells those Casino style cube acrylic cases like the one included in the set listed on Costco's website please post a link here. The best deal I've found for that style case with the 10 trays is about $45 shipped. |

Nils, could you post a link to those High Roller chips. Those are, as of yet, the sweetest chips I've even seen, IMHO. I love the extreme amount of denominations, and I'd be halfway willing to buy them 100 chips at a time if they are going to be around for a while (since I'm guessing they'll retail for about a buck per). Are they ceramic or clay?
Super sweet.
