That off center inlay would tilt the hell out of me.The shrink wrap thing is so weird. Because there’s no doubt that’s a real chip.
So it’s kind of a stupid scam.

Hope they didn’t lift the pictures from that other site and fail to give credit.They screen captured those pics from somewhere. Didn't even bother to rename them.

This is a scam advertisement. I’m leaving it up to raise awareness.
There are several red flags in their ad and replies (and what I can see behind the scenes) The scammer became a supporter using a likely stolen UK PayPal account. The transaction has been reversed and reported to PayPal.
They referenced an eBay account (which may also be compromised) to check their feedback. The eBay account is a US account with feedback only for buying.
I received two reports about it, and the members who responded to the person questioning him deserve most of the credit. Team work.Thanks for the warning.
Seems like a lot of effort when the scammer can just post pictures of real chips, take money from buyer and ship noting.I know it’s probably just perspective, but the chip on the end of the rolls looks larger diameter than the rolls.
Could a scammer print an edge shot of chips, wrap that around a cylinder, and then put a real chip or two on the end, shrink wrap the whole thing so it looks glossy - Then he could claim “all the chips I sold were real”.

God knows how many chips I’ve bought;
Never scammed
Never lost in mail
Minimal have been damaged

Do you mind elaborating? I’m new and quite interested in how scammers angle here. I’ve made 2 purchases from folk that are well established but I was a little taken back by some of the larger purchases people make the first month or so, especially considering PPFF or Venmo seems the norm. Starting to normalise to it all so best be on my guard.These seem to be getting more common? There’s no doubt that the internet sees what happening here with our chip buying and selling practices. Looks like they are starting to pay a lot more attention to us nowadays, can only expect them to get more sophisticated.
Poppin92 groomed his account for months. With this kind of money floating around it’s only a matter of time before someone else does this, if they aren’t already working on it.
Shhh… don’t alert the other what I about to do, it been a few years con in the makingWith this kind of money floating around it’s only a matter of time before someone else does this, if they aren’t already working on it.
Thumb of rules is if the deal is too good to be real, they are unlikely to be realDo you mind elaborating? I’m new and quite interested in how scammers angle here.

Yes. They were. Those are some of the same pictures that were in the listingSo were the genuine chips that you bought shrink wrapped?
The chips were in normal condition for the dunes, nothing out of line compared to the others that I already own.The chips looked lopsided as well….
Are these still available? Asking for a friend
