Hey all!
I'm running a charity poker event at my school and I have to get some prizes. My club only wants to spend 100 dollars on prizes (I'm willing to cover the rest as long as its not too much over) and so I was thinking instead of giving away cash, I could give away chips! I wanted to do something like this...
1st: 500 Royal Flush Chips
2nd and 3rd: 300 Suited Chips each
4th and 5th: 1 deck of KEM cards each
(BTW, if it matters to the seller, I'll be needing around 3000 plastic poker chips as well if I could get a discount on that too)
But I'm having trouble finding really good prices. The chips on Ebay are really cheap, but the shipping is so expensive. Does anyone know where I can get my prizes for something under 150 w/ S&H? If not, what should I cut, and what do you think of my prize structure as it is now?
By the way... So far, I've found one EBay dealer who is willing to sell me the 500-300-300 chips for 160. Not too bad, but I'd like it cheaper so I dont have to spend so much money.
EDIT* I've found a better price on EBay! 140! Woo hoo
Thanks!

No, I don't think you'll be able to get all those prizes underbudget and I can't think of any other solutions. Maybe 4-5 can split a deck of Kem cards, 2-3 Can both pick one color of the royal flush set and 1st can have an autographed picture of John Stamos and the rest of the chips.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

No no... not under budget... Just looking to get them for as cheap as possible above 100 dollars... Best deal so far is 140. Not too shabby.
