Need a REVIEW!...on these Cheap Chips...
I am in a huge hurry and I won't pay $50 for next day shipping......
I need to buy a ton of chips for a Tourney (100 people)...and I am required to spend very little.....
I own Deadman's and Chipco's....But I have never seen the super diamond chips up close...in fact...the only cheap chips I have ever seen are the composite suited....
I am getting a great deal on these (5 cents) a chip.....are they any good? Do they stack well? Will the tourney players not mind them? Can you count them quickly? I basically need a total review..I got 48 hours to get them....if they are crap...I AM RESPONSIBLE for biting the bullet on shipping charges if I have to get "Faux Clay" delivered....
This is the only chip I have available to me in my area....

Re: Need a REVIEW!...on these Cheap Chips...
You'll probably be better off getting the faux clays, but if they don't want to pay for shipping, those super diamonds will have to do the job if that is all you have locally, I don't see where a review is going to help if you need to have the chips in 2 days. Just go and get them or whatever cheap chips you can find. If they don't want to spend the money, you'll just have to make do with what budget they're allocating. If need be, get them the lousy bicycle plastic interlocking chips; simply a case of getting what you pay for. You're not exactly in a position to do any bargain hunting at this point.

But are they absolute garbage? The problem i got with the Faux clay is that it is going to cost me almost as much as the chips themselves to ship...and the guys that are the founders of the tourney already have spent plenty to put on the event and their budget is now limited.....

So how did chips get overlooked with all this planning? Was someone supposed to supply chips? Did someone forget? You might also want to check locally to see if you can rent chips someplace (sometimes retail merchants will do this as well.) Unfortunately, one of those lessons that some internet inhabitants don't seem to have figured out yet is that you don't get something for nothing. Generally you'll get what you pay for, and planning ahead can minimize expenses. Sorry I don't have an alternative solution for you.

i have a set of 1000. They stack up pretty well (about 30 a stack). They are lighter than faux clay, but at 5 cents a chip, you have a bargain.

We play this big tourney once a month....the guy that always brings the chips is not bringing them again because he "lost" chips (In the side cash games).....it is unfair to ask him to supply chips to a tourney and have him lose them....I don't trust this crowd with my stuff BTW.....
These tourney's are fun and so far the winners have been cool about tipping the founders...but "losing" chips is not cool...so that is why we got to get "expendable" chips.

I would say it's basically a 'f*** you guys, you can't respect peoples stuff you can't use good stuff'. The diamonds are better than Hoyle chips and worse than everything else IMNSHO.

Problem has been fixed.......
We are replacing the chips lost.
If more chips get lost...the value will be extracted from the prize pool.
Thank god we didn't have to go with those chips.....

You fancy they are worse than the 11.5 slick sluggers? I am not on the same page at all.

I'd go for it man, I recommend these chips for the low end. These and the faux clay canoot be beat for the price, and 5¢ is good.
I own them myself, and they certainly do the job.

If they're the cheapo 5star ones, I owned a set of them and I didn't like them. They were pretty cheap. I didn't like them. Yeah, the price is hard to beat, but they're, well cheap.

Me or him? I've got a nice set of the 11.5 dice. Still not as nice as I'd like, but I like em tons better than the diamonds. Like I said, for my first set and cheap money they're better than plastic hoyles.
