Who's your favorite source for chips?

I need to buy a medium size quantity of chips and a case, but don't want to buy a set, where I'm locked in to the number of each color. In fact, I may not even buy anything other than white and red to start. I'm not looking for anything special. Reasonable, low- to mid-priced chips will be fine for the game we're starting up.

So, based on: Reliability, speed of completing order, chip price, and shipping rates, who do you recommend?

(This is for a U.S. order.)

ebay. a bunch of the sets let you pick your colors, etc. just check the descriptions, and they let you know.

If not there then www.5stardeal.com

I used 5stardeal as well. Super cheap for a decent set. I actually bought a bunch of the 1-cent hot press error chips to see what kind I wanted before getting a full set.

Unless you plan to travel a lot, don't get a case. Racks racks racks! Makes everything easier. And that way you can buy whatever color and quantity of chip you want.

Thanks, guys. Given the two quick responses, both recommending the same supplier, I went ahead and ordered from 5star. Also, thanks for the suggestion about racks instead of a case. I got those, too.

So... what'd you get?

Actually DCG is cheaper than 5star and Tom is more personable.

Yup, it is. Don't know yet about how personable Tom is, but I may find out in the morning, if I'm able to cancel my order with 5star. Thanks for the info.

Nothin' special. I'm not entirely sure this poker night thing is going to fly, so for the moment, I only want to fill up on some white chips to match a box of chips I have lying around the house, and they're just standard 11.5 g suited composites. If this works out, tho, I'll definitely be ordering something a bit more classy.

Now I gotta go finish putting some legs on a table I rescued, and get it ready for the pad and felt.

Thanks to everyone for your help. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Get the faux clays you will be glad you did and at .045 each you can't go wrong.
