    what denoms are you looking for?

    Generally ex casino chips can be found in 25c,50c,$1,$2,$2.50,$3,$5,$20,$25,$100 and up

    Some 10c can be found but generally very rare

    Home market chips have a broader range of numbers and you can also get ones with no cash sign so they can be used as a 5c or a $5 depending on what game you are running.

    Paulsons have a range that is semi custom, the colour range is fixed and hotstamp only (no inlay)

    Where in oz are you located? there is alot of information at chiptalk.net if you want a wide range of opinions and also a good place to trade/buy/sell

    They have some sponsors, one Jim from The Chip Room has very cheap paulon sales, he buys all of the chips from some casinos when they close and resells them.

    He is having a halloween sale soon, no chips listed yet but check his other sales for an indication of what he generally sells in his sales. Just make sure you are quick, people generally pounce on what is to offer so things dont last very long

    Halloween sale

    Generally postage for 100 chips of about $US18, 200-900 chips is a large international carton which is about $US55

    i have heard perth is a nice city, apart from the WCE though, they just suck

    Thanks for the link, I will have a look into that.
    As for Perth, I guess you have to come and see for yourself. It is the shithole of Australia in my eyes. Every store closes at 6pm except 24/7 mcdonalds and the casino ( which is as big as a manshion in Perth ). Bad drivers/idiots everywhere lol. Met a few people from Melb and all they can comment on Perth is, oh its a clean city. Then again I have lived here my whole life.

    Ahh old school store times, its live living in the 80's

    I get what you mean though, I lived in adelaide alot of my life and couldnt wait to leave as I think it is a shithole but alot of people like it.

    It can be a case of 'grass is always greener somewhere else' but sometimes it really is

    You wont need both .25 & .50 and $50 chips are useless.

    If you must have a fractional chip get .25 (more versatile) and forget about $50 chips. If you need a denomination bigger than $25 in your game, get $100's.

    OP I have done a fair bit of thinking around this stuff.

    The Apache guys are pretty good with details if you email them.

    I was going to get the hot stamped Avalon club chips for my 40th but due to house reno's its now for the 41st maybe...lol.


    anyway on apache you can buy a mix and match of different quantities so I wouldnt have too much in the $50 range maybe only a few chips. for most of their chips on the cutsom page.

    my suggestion is get non-demons if you are using weird amounts

    I stick to 25c, $1, $5, $25 $100 I figured i would buy like 10 $100 ones just to have them in case the games get bigger later in the night or if someone ends up with alot of the cash and your trying to get chips back for buy ins and stuff.

    $50s not needed with 25s and are the 50c not needed use two 25c chips instead.

    anyway all good. I am also in Perth. I would also look to the www.homepokeytourney.com website alot of chiptalk members are on there as well and their buy sell private can throw up some different stuff that is worth looking into from time to time.

    cheers
    Kd FTW
