If someone was to list something as a "Fantasy Casino Chip" I couldn't fault them. It's like saying it's a fake casino chip. How else do you describe it? Pogs, plastic junk, cheap crap, bogus collectibles?

If someone says $500 worth of casino chips, or assigns some values and they are from some fantasy casino or home play chips, I'd squak.
Many auctions list chips from Las Vegas casinos as "Poker Chips" but they have never been used for poker. Are we going to have a battle of sematics over that as well?
IMHO if a chip is clearly listed as a fake or fantasy casino chip, someone isn't trying to defraud.
The best answer, as a personal choice for sellers to make would be something to the effect that it's a "casino style chip" made in the same manner as authentic casino chips. Then we start getting complicated again. Casino Like Chips.
If it says clearly, in the listing that it's a fantasy, replica, Faux or something that explains it's not from a real casino, that's enough for me.
Also by the way, chips are not checks which is what the real ones are. Roulette chips are NOT casino checks, they are wheel chips.
I could be silly and argue that casino chip is right for these fake listings, because the real ones are checks, and [u]everyone[/u] else is wrong. (lets not go there?)
Fantasy Casino chip works for me, it attracts people who are looking for fake chips and doesn't deceive them.
If someone has a problem with this, "Fantasy Casino Chip" I suggest you offer a solution, rather than just saying that it's unacceptable. In other words, what DO you want them to be called?
