and look at the real chips. They have made many real casino chip sets into playable home sets. Some people then break them up and sell them on ebay. A bunch of Aruba chips you will see there are available on ebay every two weeks or so. Nevada Jacks sells singles for $20 each. I wrote and asked about a bunch of $5 chips, offering to pay $8 each. They would not go below $12 each. I picked up each one on ebay for $3 or less. You can get the higher denominations for a little bit more. Strangely, they don't seem to have the $1 chips for any of the Aruba sets. The market on the others has been effectively killed, though. Hey, it worked out for me! I'm a collector, not an investor.
