They're nice, I would have considered buying them if they were 20-30 dollars less.

For $20-30 less, I wouldn't bother to sell it. Make no mistake, these are high quality chips, and thus expensive. The price I was offering was by far the best price you will see for this set.

Well your auction was a little misleading, but congrats on selling them.

Lol, like when you go to a shop and they sell you those slug bombs saying "what the pros use"

These are, actually, the same chips sold at the WSOP event itself, and has the same graphic as the chips displayed on TV when event mentions "Sponsored by Harrah's...."

Look in the top left corner of this page; that is the chips.
Aside from that fact, the description is a copy directly from the product's original description page.

Yeah, but they're still just plastic slug chips. I'm sure they had some game in the back where they got David Williams and Scott Fishman to play for 20 minutes so they can say, "What the pros use."

Well I wasn't selling them for $1 per chip, now was I? And besides, these chips certainly do not have the same sound and feel as the typical dice or suited chips. If those are what you are using to gauge quality, then you are far off. The auction also never used the phrase "What the pros use." The auction was not misleading.

Here is a set of WSOP chips...500 pc...alot less then your asking price and these are new
http://www.surrayluggage.com/excl2065a-wsop.html
300 peice set here new
http://www.servicemerchandise.com/ex-2063a-wsop.html
There are many other deals out there as well for the same set. I found them from $139 and up.
Not that it really matters now because you sold your set. I just figure if anyone else is looking for a set like this then they have some good info to start looking.

^ Those are different chips though, just so no one buys under a wrong impression. WSOP sold a bunch of different licenses apparently, I've seen really nice clay-like ones that reminded me a lot of ASMs, then there are the six-spot ones the OP sold which are at least a proprietary design, but the ones in the cheaper sets linked above are generic "suits" clinkers as far as I can tell.

As Iron Butt already mentioned for me, that is not the same set and not even close to the same chips. If you bothered to examine the chips in my auction, then you should have recognized that. I'm tired of these accusations from people who, apparently, don't know what they're talking about.

Your chips are sh*tty and nobody here would buy them anyway. Be gone.

Lol, you got what you wanted, why bother nut? Unless you are defending yourself so that you can sell more WSOP chips.

Oh stfu. Examine your chips? You want to send me some sample because you've got a f***ing picture of a bunch of chips in a case with four decks of cards. Your auction says they're casino quality. Bullsh!t. I declare Shennanigans. SHENNANIGANS!!!!

This all seems like a lot of fuss over very little to me. MasterShake is right in that the chips are not truly casino quality, but the OP having used the mfr's description is a very common practice on ebay and doesn't necessarily make him dishonest, somewhat ignorant perhaps but not everyone's a chip expert. OK but really I just want to make it clear I officially do not give a shit about this anymore so please be so kind as to keep my name out y'alls mouths. :D
