| | He/she is out of Colorado Casino chips and will not break racks of the diamond ones. Get them NOW if you want them. Oh well, I'd have gone $500 for 400 of them  (Never thought I'd have said that about BC chips)

| | | Are the diamond chips anything special or just plain diamonds. I saw them used in the one episode I watched (the one with the guns at the table) What kind of price are they bringing and how can you tell they were used on the program? |

I like the design, maybe better than the Colorado theme. .JPG) |

They were liquidated on a trailer full of other stuff ina wooden box.
The new owner said that when ESPN saw them on ebay, they tried to offer to trade them back for some very nice gaming tables from the casino set, but the new owner didn't have room for tables. |

| | | When they had the "Buy It Now" prices set at or near the starting bid, these were selling off the shelves. When they maed the "Buy It Now" $399 and the starting bid $199, I bet people are going to wait until the last day and then start bidding. $399 is hard to part with. (Although I bet these sell for $5 a chip once they're all gone)
Another note: I was told today that they only have about 3-4000 Diamonds left after a recount on Saturday. |

I wish I would have seen them on ebay when she was selling them for $79 and $100 for 100 chips.
Here's an idea, if you like the chips for say the Colorado logo, why not buy some blank chips and have some labels made? I think that would be a good solution for people that want these, but don't want to pay the overpriced amount. Just my 2 cents. By the way, great site!! I'm glad I found it.

| It sucks more that the show is cancelled. I would've thought with the poker craze, it would get decent ratings and get renewed for a second season. |

My mom and I watch it every week. It's not that great, but she likes that Eddie guy, and I just like poker. I think it's cool that these are the real chips from ESPN, and they're real Blue Chip clay to boot.
My Mom wanted to buy them when I told her about it, and she was ready to buy them for $200 per rack. Since the BIN price was at $399, she said she has to wait.
(She's smitten with the Eddie guy on the show...) |  | |
