No, that's not a particularly good deal. Those are not clay chips (remember that) and it's about $125 USD. You can find those occasionally for $90 or $100 USD.

The chips you buy off most of those sites are actually a composite. They stopped making "clay" chips sometime back and started using a composite so they will last longer and even add metal inserts to some of them. They're good chips but not technically clay chips.

so the one they sell at 5star are also metal inserts??

ballbp · by **ballbp** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 7:21 pm GMT

The ones I bought do. They are 11.5 gram diamond chips. I like them though. As you might have read here most casino's chips are actually the 8.5 gram ones and you can get a hell of a lot more of them from 5 star for the same price. Look into those and see what you think.

As other people have noted, those are plastic chips with metal inserts, not clay. I personally am not aware of any 11.5g chips that are not plastic with a metal insert. This doesn't mean they don't exist but if they do they certainly aren't common.

I don't believe anyone has made "clay" chips for decades now. However, these plastic chips with metal inserts aren't bad chips. While they aren't casino chips they are still nice and significantly cheaper than authentic casino chips (3-6x cheaper) which means you can buy a pretty nice set without having to spend a fortune.

I do want to say though that although I'm not positive I'm fairly certain that there are two qualities of these 11.5g chips. In some of the pictures the chips look really nice and in other pictures what appears to be the exact same chips look really cheap and bad. I have a hard time putting this off as bad camera work. Just be careful and pay close attention to the pictures.

They actually still do make 100% clay chips still but they are very expensive. A 500 clay chip set runs at least $250 and up. I sell them occassionally but most everyone likes the composite chips now because they are much cheaper.
