So far, I've spent the following on gear:
Chip set 1 - 500 dice style, but with suits: $80 with case

sold later for $35
Chip set 2 - 1000 hot stamped tri-colors: $400

my playing set
Chip set 3 - 500 denominational chips from eBay: $15 with case

wanted a set with denoms for NL cash games. Pluse they were CHEAP!
Poker table - 10 seater: $200

it's a cheap table that I'll probably get rid of once I build one
Card protector: $20
Cards: 4 decks KEMs, 10 decks Royals, 15 decks Bicycles: $80

mostly from eBay and Costco (cheap!)
Grand total (so far): about $750
That will go up a lot when Ten's custom chips are available.
