BR Pro Poker Ceramic Chips (2 Viewers)

Are there good places to shop for deals on Br Pro sets, outside of the classifieds here? Or do they have any somewhat regular sales or promotions?

Almost nabbed some half price Tikis on FB marketplace this fall, but they got snapped up right before I messaged for them…

I would say they run sales on a fairly standard schedule, like you might expect from any other small business. I’d just sign up for their newsletter and wait to strike when it looks right for you - that’s what I did a couple years back, and was very happy with how much I saved off the sticker price for a 1,000 piece semi-custom DDLM set, when they ran a special on that.

 

[dylpickle]

Ok, that is good to know. I had been peeking at the website often during the black friday - cyber monday period, and it seems what I should've done was be on their mail list!

 

[Colquhoun]

I haven't seen a sale on BRPro's site in a while. There used to be a spinning wheel that may give you a discount (like 5%) if you signed up, but I dont even see that anymore.
Frankly, I don't think they need to...they're excellent chips and have a 3 week wait for customs. You might be waiting a while if looking for discounts.

 

[Knoxymoron]

When I spoke to them earlier this year, Gene told me they rarely run discounts and didn't anticipate running any in the near future. He also said he doesn't think they ran any discounts last year. That being said I still think they are priced well for what you get. I have two sets (cash and tourney) and love them.

 

[andrebttx]

Well, I feel bad for apparently misleading you about sales! I will agree that I would be happy with my set, even if I had paid more for them. But in review yes, it seems like the deals they run are not about chip prices, but usually stuff like cases, racks, assorted accessories and the like, to go with your set. In my case, it was a birdcage, racks, and a button - all things I would’ve gotten with the set regardless, so getting them free was de facto savings on the set.

Sign up for their email newsletter. They occasionally offer deals or discounts via email.

Good to know. I probably missed out on a lot of savings since I ordered all that stuff separately elsewhere.

I doubt there's much profit margin on ABC stock ceramics to run sales regularly.

I got a custom tournament set done by BR Pro. @timinater helped with my design as I wanted a WSOP'ish look and style. After going through colors and chip sizes I got samples a few times and ended up with a nice set with both 43mm and 47mm chips. People seem to really like these and my only complaint is that I dont get to use them often enough . Very happy with my experience.

Samples galore!

Final product

I got 1400 of their chips in play on Saturday night.

I love them.

 

[dylpickle]

@detroitdad, are yours larger than 39mm? I've heard these are not quite a stackable (more slippery) than nice clay, do you find that with yours (or if the size can help with that)?

Mine are 39 mm. They stack great. I don't have any slipperiness issues with them.

@Sprouty @mike32 @Hooligan350 @Skagglio any issues with them Saturday night?

@Sprouty @mike32 @Hooligan350 @Skagglio any issues with them Saturday night?

Yeah, they seemed to disappear in front of me.

That's unusual for you. Jim and Bryan were running hot

No issues at all. I have a couple old Chipco sets that I bought new and your chips feel identical to them from what I can tell. Very nice ceramic chips.

 

[mike32]

Ross texted me yesterday and said he felt bad about that misdeal Saturday. He thought you said call but you raised. I had honestly already forgotten about it but I guess I benefited.

Ross is already banned for mixing the bourbons.

Please let him know not to feel bad it's an honest mistake in a low limit game and harbor no ill feelings. I had also forgotten about it.

I haven't forgotten about the bourbon mixing incident

Mine stack 20 high without issue, but clay will stack higher.

I have not had any slippery issues with mine.

I got a DDLM two table tournament set and this past month I bought a Super Poker World cash set. The chips are great and my friends like playing with them.

Where did you get this case from

They’re awesome and you really should get a sample for yourself. IMHO they are not the best bang for your buck if you are wanting customs. If you want customs the best bang for your buck are TINA Greek mold hybrids. They are 1/4 the price of custom BRPro. However there are downsides to ordering TINA and I would recommend getting a sample of you’re considering ANY option.

Where do you purchase these

The Greek hybrids, no-mold ceramics and cards mold are available almost every month in a group-buy by member @justincarothers Broken Arrow:

Great chips.

I used to have some Nevada Jacks and I loved them! Definitely good quality, unfortunately for my bank account I have now have got hooked on Paulsons

I ordered some sample sets for myself and as stocking stuffers from some folks pre Christmas and I got an email with I think a one time discount code in it after I placed my first order. YMMV

EDIT- it was a 10% off a premium chip order of $250 or more, only valid for 24 hours. I think I had ordered 4 sample sets when I got this. I have seince ordered a fifth and it was delivered before Christmas

Been VERY close to ordering a set of DDLM or the Card Wars chips for a while. Just can't quite pull the trigger. The quality of the printing looks unmatched though.

Allow me to tempt you further:

 

[allforcharity]

Everybody seems to love the DDLM and Tiki Kings stock chips. Nothing but positive reviews for years.

 

[icypanda44]

I love my sample set. Didn't give them away as a stocking stuffer set - kept em.

Just don't know where I want to be with a decent set yet, on the fence between a custom color/denom DDLM set versus a set with custom labels (I have some designs mocked up)
