Everyone is putting their poker equipment on clearance: kind of makes you wonder if the average intelligence is going up and consumers are avoiding the cheaper products or if the poker craze is coming to a close? I myself have bought more than my fair share of junk poker products due to my own lack of knowledge; however, now that I know better, I wonder if the quality poker stuff will fallow suit and come down in price? That would be both nice and disconcerting at the same time.

The market is saturated now for the cheapie poker stuff. I have noticed that it peaked at Christmas time and since than, there have been a drastic drop in prices. However, quality stuff will still command a high price.

I am sure the quality products will still command high prices, I just hope a general decline in poker interest among the masses will not equate to a reduction in the amount of quality poker items available to those of us who stay loyal to the game.

Yea, but people who shop at Macy's regularly tend to have more money than brains, so $80.00 for dice chips would make sense to them. I mean, c'mon, they are "official 11.5 gram chips" after all.

That is expensive at $80 for the 500 set and that is in real money and not our devalued Cdn. dollar. You can buy a 500 set of the 11.5g dice chips for Cdn. $50 here in Vancouver area.

For $10, I may pick this up just for the chip carousel. Maybe display my future American Beauties?

As far as cheapie chips go, the Michael Graves really aren't that bad. My dad has a couple carousels of them. They're probably most similar to the 9g diamonds or the 10g faux clays. They come in stacks of white, red, blue, and black.

The carousel itself is pretty nice, too and for $10, yeah, I think it might be worth it to pick up a couple to hold my ASMs
