Default Availibility of poker related merchandise

Was just out with the wife and noticed EVERY store has chip sets, card shufflers, poker table tops, etc.... and there was a large number of people buying this stuff, I mean alot. I don't think the poker boom has even peaked yet. Ironically, all these wives are buying stuff for their husbands who are probably just gonna lose money because of it. I geuss next years most popular gift will be a pre-paid bankruptcy attorney.

Haha- I agree. Poker has seen a huge boom the last year or two.

I've seen the stuff at Spencer Gifts, department stores, wholesale clubs, liquidators and even the sneaker place at the mall.


Most of the chips sets are twice the price you would pay on ebay. However, today I saw my 500 piece 11.5g dice set for $60 at BJs. Most places sell similar sets for $90 to $140. I paid $80 four months ago.

I have my eye on a set on the new (or somewhat new) Ace King suited poker chips. Very sharp. The tri-color suited chips are also sharp looking, but maybe a bit too busy. Thats a good price at BJ's. Do they seem to be of about the same quality as all the rest??

What do you guys look for in a chip set? Are those free poker chip sets from certain affliates any good??
