Hello ChipTalkers!

Anyone seen/felt/know anything about these chips off of ebay?

My brother is wondering if they're any good? And I'm curious as to how decent they are for the price??

Thats what I'd think as well, But I'd still love to find someone who's actually seen these chips / know anything about them.

Anyone?

the second auction are nexgen knock offs. A friend of mine got them for christmas...they're okay, but they don't sound right. (not that nexgens sound good..., but they sound worse.)

You get what you pay for...if you want good chips, save up and get some good ones! It'll be worth it! For now, a $20 set of dice chips will suffice!

...and when they say, "pure clay" they mean "anything in the world, *but* clay."

Get some faux clays. You'll be much happier in the long run.

straightflush.ca is located in Calgary and has free shipping on all orders over $50 (Ivan is a good guy too).

My neighbor bought some. Took too long to arrive and then we played them last weekend. Didn't last long. Waste of money and time.

Thx for responses! Anyone else?

And didn't last long? in what way? just stopped playing with them? or durability issues?

There are at least a couple of threads about the chips in the 2nd auction here from the past couple of months. The labels are known to have peeled off is one thing that I recall. Also, as already mentioned that are labeled nexgens. Read some of the sellers neg comments for an idea of quality and customer service. You might try searching on ebay and/or nexgen to find the prior thread(s) here too.

Good luck,
