I think you meant to say:
http://paizo.com/store/gameAids/dice/byManufacturer/chessex/cheatDice
(Note that they are cheaper here)
And they are novelty items. If you catch another player actually using them in a game, then I would say you are completely within your rights to stop playing with that player. Drum him/her out of the group.
Or buy a set for your DM for use against that player.
Man I'm so getting these.
yeah, these are cool to a certain extent. actual use in play? very bad, and will usually get a player kicked out. find out a dm is using them? very bad, and usually gets the dm thrown over a balcony.
for cute beer and pretzels games where no one is the wiser? priceless.

Cheat back. Hide behind your DM screen with all your rolls -- it's amazing how many criticals the bad guys can roll.
Make it obvious you're cheating -- what is he/she going to say?

HA! Once upon a time, my friend and I used a pencil to add pips to our six-sided dice, so that each die was only 5s and 6s. We then proceeded to roll up characters for a short D&D game, and the DM was really impressed with the stats we were rolling up. The gig was up shortly after the pencil-pips started rubbing off after the game was going, of course...

Yeah, I've done that before. Look the player straight in the eye, roll a dice, never look at it and state...."You fail"
When I was fourteen initiated a friend into D&D play. He had a friend who played and came to visit. They had die rolling contests and his friend kept winning and taking stuff off his shelves like model cars and albums.
I demanded a chance to win it all back and caught him cheating. He's lucky I won it all back. We played squirtgun cops later in a parking lot and I smashed the pistol down over his head. Clearly I don't have the temperment to be a cop. I actually had the balls to walk back into the toy store and tell them it broke (thereby being a cheater myself) and the guy laughed and said, "I saw you break it over the other kid's head."
"Yeah, but it shouldn't have broken so easily."
I swear that he actually just gave me a replacement gun to get me out of there. Unfortunately I broke that one over the kid's head as well. Sounds like comedy but that's how it went down.
EDIT ADD: Weighted Die is a homonym for Way To Die.

My brother did this years ago with permanent markers. We never caught on, but he was so tickled with himself that he told us anyway.
He only did if for fun -- no harm done :)

NICE!...I was thinking about creating dice like those some time ago..hehehe.....though I'd kill my players if they start using this

WOW....Seems like we have something in common...lol
I think chopping off their scrotum would be fair punishment.

Well then the ball would be in your court.
Huh huh... huh huh. "He said teste."
In the spirit of cheating dice, I have a short story to tell:
Me and two gaming friends went to Magic Mountain for a 2-day vacation. We got a room with 2 beds - problem, there's three of us. Me and one of the other guys brought our gaming stuff, knowing we would "drop dice" at night after a hard day of rising coasters. The other guy didn't. We decided that the highest d20 result would get one of the beds, while the next two losers would either share or someone would soak up some floor. I handed my friend a 20-sided d10 - you can't tell by casually looking at it because the numbers are not painted, only etched. He rolls a 5 and I laugh. My other friend (with a real d20 rolls a 3, and I roll a 1.
Sweet justice was served, I suppose.

How'd that floor taste? Or, um...
::turns down the lights and puts on some bargain bin Jodeci::
How did that shared bed feel? Mmm hmmm... dropping dice. Aw, yeah.
There is a satisfaction that comes with fate punishing early attempts to cheat... it's as if there is a fairness to the cosmos. Now that isn't really true... but the delusion is glorious. I'm glad that I didn't get away with much as a kid.

lol. Naw, I fondly remember when I was young enough to always be packing D&D materials, regardless of what day trip was planned. At the beach with friend? Let's play. At the airport with friends? Let's play? No place was exempt. I DMed a naval adventure within a player's swimming pool because he had all these floating styrofoam tables and chair.
Dems wuz da days.
