There is this poker buddy of mine who is looking to purchase PS play chips. He's asked for my help.

How many....you ask?


90 MILLION chips!


I'm serious. Honest to God, he needs 90 million chips!!!

So, I mass message poker players / racers / guts players and what not ....asking them if they have chips for sale.


I received their response moments later, saying they do have chips but they'd rather keep them to play with, instead of selling them.



Well I chose the money. Sold most of what I had and made some good $.



Notice to all members: **If anyone has any chips they would like to get rid of, please let me know. You can make some $$ too. **

Pourquoi?

[bunny]

- means *why* in English. Is that what you meant to say? If so...why what?


Edit: unless you meant *pourquoi-pas* as in *why not* ? If you do have any to sell, message me please and we'll begin the transaction.

The stupidity of people still amazes me.

I'm right along there with Mayhem... I don't understand the demand for play chips that people are willing to pay real money for them. I know you've looked into starting some type of exchange business Bunny so hopefully you can shed some light on this subject. What's the point of paying real money for play chips? (sorry to pseudo-threadjack)

[MAYHEM45]

I meant simply "why?"

[bunny]

Plain and simple? It's a business, like any other business. If there's a demand for that product, why not sell it? Some buy low (which is the reason they *pay real money for play chips*) and sell high.

There is a high demand for buying/selling Pokerstars play chips. That's a fact! Check out Ebay...you'll be amazed at what people are willing to pay for these chips.

It's crazy, but there is real money to be made and that is probably the main and most important reason.

One thing I forgot to mention in my OP is that this person wanting to purchase chips did NOT want to spend over $10. The going rate right now is $12. So players won't sell below the going rate, seems $2 is a huge difference for them, especially if they've purchased them at that price or at $10. They're seeking to make a profit, as in any business.

As for me, if I could get $10 per mill ....I'm happy. Since I didn't pay any $ for those *fake*chips.

**There are also those players who don't care for the money and will spend solely for enjoyment purposes.


Here's the ebay link to people sellling play chips on that site:



Tried to respond to your question as best I could. Hopefully you understand the reasoning behind the buy/sell process a little better?

Give it a few more years and you'll come to expect it.

Bunny... your answer had to do with why someone would sell them. I think the question is why do people buy them?
