Ebay and Jackpot auctions are a great way to acquire new chips. Ive accumulated many chips from there. Sometimes Ive overpaid a bit when i really want a chip, but other times i get them at pretty good prices and once in a while i get a real bargin. It all evens out in the end.

Welcome to the hobby. Oh yeah...any chance you get to go to a local club meeting that has traders...do it. Also, come to the national convention. Thats probably the BEST place to load up!!
