are either sample sets imported by matsui, or chips destined for casinos that didnt open etc. I had quote of something like 90c a chip + $200 set up. This guy who has been selling sets has had loads over the past 6 months. As Gene rightly said, the ebay cost was close to what you would pay for those chips anyway. If you get stung for the customs tax, plastics duty and a handling charge for a courier other than USPS you could be adding up to 25% to the cost.
