Where should I purchase a chip set?

Ebay would be my first choice, but there are way too many choices and it is hard to find a good shipping deal.

All I'm looking for are the cheap 11.5 plastic ones. I do not want to spend more then 50$ all together.

Let me know!

There are multiple sets that end on ebay for $1.00 or less with $40.00 shipping, not much bidding war on something like this. You usally have a choice of a few sets as well. I picked up this set:

about 3 months ago on ebay for $43 shipped. Mine came with an aluminum case though. I just stayed up until like 3am when there wasn't many bidders online.

Interesting information. I have been pondering the merits of buying a chip set as well, but I've promised myself that I would find a new job first.

Thanks everyone. I was in a hurry so I just bought those chips on Overstock.com. I wish I had realized the .01 ebay chips because there are much better deals there. I saw one with only 25$ shipping for a 500 11.5 chipset total price would have been 25.01. Oh well, the chips were for a friend.

Better yet, write a 500+ word poker article and submit it to Poker Source Online by the end of the month and they'll give you a chip set.

My local walmart had some on clearance about a week ago. I can't remember the exact details, but you might check your local store.
