I'm interested in a new set of ceramics with half-naked women on them.

I'd like to sell these for enough to buy that set, and don't need to make a penny more. So the price is $325 shipped. Shop and compare, or just believe me that the lowest price i found in 10 minutes of looking online was over $400 PLUS shipping.

breakdown:
200 green
170 black
80 purple
50 orange

this works perfectly (big stacks, perfect colorup numbers) for a 8 man 10k freezeout. it works a little less perfectly, but workable with 10. if you start with less chips, you can handle 12-15 with this set.

i'm pretty firm on the price. PM if you're interested

pics (my camera sucks, i know. if you want to see better pics, i'm sure you can figure out how to find them):

You can handle 20 with this set - at least the way I run tournaments

8 green, 8 black, 2 purple = 2000 in chips

8 green, 8 black, 4 purple, 2 yellow = 5000 in chips
(will only be able to chip up the greens using the yellow - blacks will have to stay on the table)

Great set - I wish I could justify buying them - I came really close to buying Crystal Oyster chips when I found the HideAway chips I have now.

true, true. i designed it knowing that i never get more than ten, and so we play with jumbo stacks.

25 X 24
100 X 14
500 X 10
1000 X 3
T10,000 and 51 chips each

That's almost how I designed my set(s). I use less $25 (12) and more $100 (17), the others are the same. We never get more than 8 (and even that is a tiny bit cramped at the table, but playable). Only 42 chips, but we found that having more than 12 $25 chips is really too much, since they get coloured up so early.

I should pick up samples of those chips sometime, they look nice.

Holy #$%* those pics are worse than my pharaoh pics.

jojo, your camera seems to be fine. I think you just need to put it in "Macro" mode so that it will focus in the close-ups. . . unless your camera doesn't have such a mode, then yes, it sucks. "Macro" mode usually is indicated by a little flower (tulip?) icon. You can probably then get around 12"-18" away from your subject and still be in focus.

'grats on the quick sale, btw. Great price.
