Okay, I want something like this:
Recently, four of the kids in my family (including myself) have been busy learning and teaching each other casino games every time there's a family gathering or holiday. Needless to say, with our shouting and excitement, we draw in a crowd to watch. When all the kids turn 18, I'm takin' 'em to the casinos (I'm already 21). [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] We play with a tiny set of cheap plastic chips and it isn't enough. Basically, we need a bigger set of chips.
I've found two categories on Ebay relating to poker chip sets:
Listings 1
Listings 2
Don't they come cheaper than this? I mean, it's Ebay, supposedly a great place to find cheap crap if you look hard enough. I've spent the last few days scouting out potentially cool and inexpensive sets, but either the seller won't ship to Canada, or the seller won't respond to my e-mails! I'm getting frustrated. And the shipping is oftentimes INSANE because they're heavy kits.
And I don't want to buy the $100 set at Price Club.
Minimum requirements for me are:
-Between 200-300 ceramic/composite chips, preferably authentic feel/weight (11.5 grams per chip). Occasically, I see fancy Italian sets that have MOP inlays on the chips and in a fancy mahogany case, but that one buyer didn't want to ship to Canada, the bastard! It was also reasonably priced, the bastard! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
-Carrying/storage case (wood or metal or plastic).
-Extra dice and cards are not important. Those can be picked up at the dollar store. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
-REASONABLE shipping charges to Canada. $20 or less. Or, the vendor/seller must originate from Canada.
-Final price obviously must be a minimum. There are plenty of sets on Ebay that are one cent, but the shipping is like fifty bucks. And, those sets are usually huge 500 or 1000 piece sets, which is overkill!
-Foldable felt tabletop is not needed. Just the suitcase filled with chips is needed.
Yes, I know these things retail for a lot of money, being that they're authentic-feeling kits, but there has GOT to be a steal of a deal somewhere out there.
So, hit me with Ebay links, online vendor links (I tried Google's Froogle but they don't have what I need for the price I want), and stuff like that.
