Cheapest place for dice chips?

I remember seeing a website that has dice chips for like $0.10 a chip but cannot remember which one it was. I think I got there by following a link here but can't find it. No, these chips are not for me, they will be for my university's poker club. We finally got our budget from student senate and can get supplies. No more having to bring mine and worry about the abuse from college social players.

We can't play for money, so no reason for people to sneak in chips.

You could always put a shout out for some dice chips on the M2M forums. I'm sure there are several thousand dice chips collecting dust in our members closets right now.

5star has them for $.08 and we need 2000. I don't think we'll get a better deal than $160 for 2000 chips (400 of each color). Plus we need to have receipts for all purchases to prove that we didn't just spend the money on personal or non-club related stuff.

At times i've seen they as low as 6 cents each, just keep looking and don't forget to use promo codes for that little extra discount! If you have to go the cheapest way out there,but for a few more cents per chip there are much better choices out there!

If you can get dice for .02 maybe.
Otherwise your better off with the faux clays.

I can't speak to which site is the best after factoring in shipping and promo codes, but I have seen them at discountcasinogear.com for $0.0519 per chip and 5stardeal.com for $0.06 per chip. There is also a place that sells rolls of 25 for $1.38. Since you are buying a couple thousand, it may be worthwhile to look at the pricing on sets. I only bought ten of each color to sample, so haven't scouted the deals on bigger quantities or sets.

If the university is paying, I think noelsarchs has a nice big set of Palmas for sale on ebay

Seriously, you should definately get Faux clays/sopranos/super diamonds instead of dice...They are much better than dice, and I think they are all cheaper too.

Without a doubt Faux Clays.
Cheaper, nicer and a lil more secure than dice available anywhere.
(I played in a free league....sadly players did bring some dice chips to enhance their stacks....)
And you might as well get the hardest to find colors as they will most likely not loose value.
May not matter now....
