What are the best home game chips readily available? (2 Viewers)

But those are collectable/rare chips I assume. Not something available to everyone at any time.
I obviously do not have the disposable income some people do as I cannot pay even $2 per chip for a set. Maybe some day.

Nope, those are playable sets, typically containing 400 to 800 chips each.

And it's not so much a matter of large amounts of disposable income, as it is simply viewing chip purchases as temporary leases. The more you spend on chips up-front, the less money you are likely to have actually spent long-term. Cheap chips don't hold value, and will eventually be sold for a loss. High-end chips tend to retain their value (or increase in value) over time.

The money typically comes back at resell, and you get to play with some really nice chips for free. (y) :thumbsup:
 
For the home game tourney I'll throw my vote for the Key Wests for a few reasons -

1. Chips are Brand New
2. Chips are readily available in any qty you want
3. Quality is great, nothing beats a Paulson IMO, but the Key Wests are in the same league. The China Clay's are definitely Not.
4. Sound and feel is great.
5. Best customer service known to man provided by @dennis63

That offer includes a dealer button ($24.90) and a single deck + cut card ($24.90), so the chips are only $1,750.20, or $5.83 per chip.

:rolleyes:

Don't forget free worldwide shipping. That is a $50 value :whistle: :whistling:

I wonder if he has sold a chip outside of the sample sets in the US?

Nice website, nice presentation.

IMO, decent pics, but a lot of intentionally misleading wording (e.g., "derived from" the Paulson factories) and outright lies: "Origin : Paulson factories". Either that, or just bad English language skills and poor editing.

You have to admire pure bullshit like "the product of Colombani elegance and of hundred-year-old know-how."

And a set with a very poor breakdown, not what anyone would choose for the specified 10-player tournament ... carrying a ridiculously high list price.

Perhaps our French PCF'ers have experience that can offset these concerns, but from looking at the site, this is not a vendor I'd trust to buy from, particularly with international shipping involved.

(Anyone know what "S&T" stands for? Everything I can come up with is scatological.)

S&T - shipping and tracking would be my guess
 
I agree that Mardi Gras are great chips, although I've only had the v1 version.

Probably about the same price point for what I would pay for said Colombani chips.

Didn't really have many on my v1s. Are the v2s quite bad? Im tempted to get some myself now.

The $1 & $500 chips have it really bad. Pretty much any chip with an 8 spot pattern does.

If you read the description at the bottom of the page it talks about it. Also one of the pictures posted shows the spilt spots pretty well.

Also I believe the .25 and the $1 were different diameters (about 1mm smaller)....I'm trying to remember if there are others in my sample set that were smaller around. I was more tilted by that, than the split spots.
