Not completely above board!
Although I don't like to see eBay offerings like this, she at least advises that there is a mix of chips represented, i.e., "casino and poker chips" in the description section.
HOWEVER, her Item Title completely belies this element.
In looking at the listed chips, it seems that her description is accurate or needs improvement, as follows:
Sunrise Casino - Las Vegas, NV - black, chipco mold, green & orange inserts (Some will argue that these are "casino" chips, as they were ordered for casino use, but the casino did not open.)
Condado Beach - San Juan, Puerto Rico - black, coin center, orange inserts (I have not seen the chip she is referring to, but the only "Condado Beach" chips that are CIC, are real casino chips, or am I mistaken?)
Pharaoh's Club and Casino - Cairo, Egypt - black, hat and cane "paulson" mold, green & orange inserts (These are Fantasy/Home Game, i.e., "poker" chips.)
Jackpot Casino - Las Vegas, NV - black, coin center, white inserts (These are Fantasy/Home Game, i.e., "poker" chips.)
Landmark Casino - Las Vegas, NV - black, hot stamp center, white inserts (These are Fantasy/Home Game, i.e., "poker" chips.)
Casino Las Vegas - Las Vegas, NV - black, coin center, white inserts (These are Fantasy/Home Game, i.e., "poker" chips.)
Welcome to Las Vegas - Las Vegas, NV - black, hot stamped, pink inserts, white crown and dice (These are Fantasy/Home Game, i.e., "poker" chips.)
Coconut Tree Casino - Jamaica - black, chipco mold (These are Fantasy/Home Game, i.e., "poker" chips. They are NOT Chipco, but are ceramic. Obviously "Chipco" is not a mold, unless of course she is using the term "Chipco" as we see it in the "Mold" column of TCR! )
All-in-all, I've seen worse, but nonetheless, it could be better. And, if this were a Club Member's auction (*cc*), it would be a disappointment!
