| | | Need advice: Buying chips, etc. for charity
OK, our church has an auction coming up and the wife recommended that I buy some chips and cards to donate for auction.
I have some thoughts, but I thought I'd tap into the greater chip community!
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Requirements:
1) Something that the average joe poker player would think is cool (and would bid on.)
2) Under about $100.
3) New. I don't want to donate any used merchandise. |

What's your time frame?
You met get Gene(ABC) or Joe(Palm) to help with the donation and give you a good deal on something like a 300 chip custom ceramic set.

I've done a PSO promo for free Nevada Jacks before just to donate. If you've got time that's an option.

So the question becomes: Would Average Joe Poker prefer 300 NJ Skulls in an aluminum case or 1000 sopranos in an acrylic birdcage?
Help me out. |

Help me out. | Tough one. I'd say the Sopranos would be the bigger hit. More chips, get a cool carrier, heck I'd even like that!!

Don't know what the shipping would add but here are some nice sets of Nexgens for a decent price.I think you can get an additional 15% off.A 500 piece set of Las Vegas Nexgens in a mahogany case would be hot to a newbie!

you could get super diamonds hot stamped with denoms for .09/chip so 1000 chips would be $90 plus shipping if you have a trademark account.
