| | | What can one get for $120 (or less)?
I had the idea of buying my sister-in-law's boyfriend a set of chips. While I wasn't going to spend $500 for a set of clays, I did think i could do better than plastic composite chips. Looking around, there seems to be a huge gap. You can get 1000 chips sets on EBay (plastic composite) for $40 to $50 bucks. The best deal I found for better chips is $200 for a set of 300 used Desert Sands...but that's outside the budget permited. I'm not a fan of Nexgen and don't consider them to be a viable option.
Anyone have suggestions?

sounds like a job for faux clays or sopranos to me.

Why don't you buy a set of plastics or Nextgens and get labels done.
Save yourself some money and also give him something custom with his name on them or something.
More than likely he wouldn't know the difference anyways.

Hit the Bellagio group buy. I had all the big plans in the world, but now I think I am going to go the easy route and get a set of those. |

Check the M2M forum, If you like the Desert Sands, I have a barely used set of 600 (2x what you found) for $225 plus discounted shipping.
Otherwise, I agree, Faux Clays, Sopranos, or Nexgens....
Good Luck!  |

Roland | The problem is that he's played with *my* chips. Played with the Crystal parks when I had those, played with my Good Luck Clubs, and he'll eventually see the PNYs... Now, I don't know for certain whether he *cares* but he defeinitely *knows*...

Nexgens seem to be pretty rough compared to the clay he's been exposed to. Faux clays and Sopranos are lines I'm not familir with but I'll search on EBay for examples. Thanks everyone, these suggestions are great. Maybe I *will* go in on the Bellagio GB...

Hi Hopin -
Your best bet, aside from getting really lucky on m2m or some such thing, is the faux clay. 1000 chips that feel and sound great for $60, and you still have cash leftover for labels. Sure, they aren't super-pretty, but for the money they are imho the best thing going.
Cheers
