Since the seller asked if there was an easy way to tell if chips are "clay" I sent a message that said in this instance, YES! They are not clay and instead are plastic, injection molded chips. While I was at it, I informed that they are not "vintage" and the word on each chip that he cannot make out is "Graves" as in Michael Graves who has a signature line of products at Target Stores.
I believe I was polite in answering his question to the eBay world, and then suggested that the honorable thing would be to correct the listing. The current price (at about $10) is what I paid for a set at Target (on clearance), but certainly not the $17 shipping fee to my ZIP code.
