That said, of course it wouldn't make sense to buy at face value if you weren't sure you were going to actually use them. Usually it is players in line to reg an event who buy at full price.
At Last years WSOP I paid
Paid $950 for $1000 lammers
Paid 1400 for $1500 lammers
Seemed like a decent deal to me as I was 99% sure they were real when I did (seemed identical to the ones I had won) on both occasions.
I am always just a little bit cautious and I literally saw one guy getting "paid" so short of a sleight of hand I knew they were real. I am always looking over my shoulder in Las Vegas when it comes to "deals" and caution anyone buying lammers that the old saying of "if it looks to good to be true" is something to keep in mind.
