Good to see a little skepticism coming the other way from you

 

[stratus51]

Ah yes but it's based on a massive collection with a stupid amount of 500s on an account with 0 feedback quite possibly based in China? I think that's some pretty good ground to be sceptical

P.s did you find that organically or did you manage to rip the image from the site to reverse check it bcs if you did you're a better man than I

20 second reverse image search on google. Just copied the image URL on my phone and pasted it into the google images box. The HPT thread popped up, along with some alibaba listings in different languages.

Ah ok. On the phone. Couldn't strip it out of the url on my PC

Yeah, it's embedded in some kinda javascript frame. I couldn't grab it easily on my PC either.

Ah, the forums at homepokertourney, just like the sub forums at two plus two, what a throw back...

I saw the alibaba link some time ago and I created an account to contact the vendor who posted it, just to see what happens.

What happened was that I got no response from the original poster of that image, but my personal (or what i thought was personal) message got posted as a RFQ and I got a ton of other vendors messaging me eager to sell me high quality dice chips...

I don't have any reason to think these chips are for sale or in the possession of the "seller". The whole thing smells of fraud.

Danger, DANGER -=- DrStrange

/\ Same... It's a trap!

 

[atomiktoaster]

Yes, it's obviously fraudulent. Probably could have been more clear on that front.

Just bought them all!




JK!
