| Re: is this a good deal?
don't pay $170 for this setup.
you can get the racks and the birdcage for about $40. (see ebay item #6238195976 - no affiliation to seller, but i have bought one from him).
the chips should cost you less than $60. check out ebay item #6238136236 as an example (again, no affiliation, but i bought my old dice set from this guy). that's 1,000 chips and 2 aluminum cases for $55 shipped.
together that's 1,000 chips, 10 racks, 2 aluminum cases, and the acrylic birdcage for $95 done deal.
that said, if you're willing to spend $170, you can get better chips like faux clays or sopranos. they stack better, come in a bunch of colors, and are readily available from a bunch of retailers for pennies per chip. you can get 1,000 faux clays for $50 + shipping. . .
hope that helps,
