The most expensive Chinese chips I’ve seen. (Lautie) (1 Viewer)

[Meathead]

I found these on AliExpress a couple weeks ago. Not a fan of the cartoon skull design but I really like the colors and the design otherwise. Then I saw the price! They want nearly $260 for a rack of 100! I’ve since skimmed through other suggestions AliExpress provides and found similars which are much less but still pricey for Chinese ceramics. I’ll link in the comments. First pics will be of the Lautie and then some of the alternatives which are quite similar.

Has anyone purchased any of these?

They are mostly Expensive because of

1) the shipping cost
2) they mark up the selling price too much

Pretty cool design! But don't pay $2.60 for a ceramic chip. Get someone to knock off the design (all of these are knocking off each other already, and there's no telling who made the originals) and get them custom-made right here in the US of A by ABC Gifts and Awards. Save a ton of money.

In your first picture, the 20 and the 50 look very similar (the 2 and the 5 are nearly just mirror images) and have a pretty similar color; I'd be worried about getting them confused during play. That'd be an easy thing to fix, though, if you were getting your own design made.

That's an above-average-creativity ceramic design. It's also more than double what they should cost. Run!

Someone else posted about these before, but I can't find the thread. They look different and interesting, but they also remind me of the back of anti-theft stickers:

Or progress bars...

Sure... Chinese are stealing your intellectual property, tapping phones and hacking accounts?
Retaliate...
Hire proper American craftsman and make your own...

Found a more expensive chip. How many of you would pay $2,500 for a set of 300 dice chips? Insane. I discovered these only because some chump who bought a set is trying to unload it on FB marketplace for $1,500. $8.33 per chip. View attachment 845739

did you break the news to him

If he bought dice chips for $8.33 each, he probably spends the rest of his time alphabetizing m&ms and tripping over cordless phones. No need.

This is defiantly on of the more odd designs i've seen, overpriced imo...
