Would you believe the most amusing thing I found in this thread has absolutely NOTHING to do with buying or selling play chips?
The funniest thing I found is how many people are stating that they have "NEVER" put their own money into online poker... Someone sold playmoney chips, someone else got a free bankroll somewhere, etc etc etc.... I am proud to say I deposited and lost, deposited and lost, deposited and lost... When I got tired of losing, I studied the game, Then I studied some more, and I APPLIED the knowledge. The rest speaks for itself.

well the thing is that the first guy wanted to know if we knew anyone that would be interested in chips. most of us said thats a bad idea because its illegal, and the rest it just lead to this. as you can see one of the guys on this thread actually got busted for it. so we had nothing more to say.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK! Wow, sorry for asking in the first place. I am a depositor also and had like 15 million play chips just sitting around. They are gone now so let's just forget I ever asked. Sorry for getting you guys juiced about this.

....do you think that makes you better than the rest of us just because you are loaded enough to "deposit".... instead of wise enough to turn those play chips into real money and "deposit" that instead ... ummm let's see what Donald Trump would say to that....LOL

At first, I could not believe it either. But there it is:
Then I thought about it some more, and liken it to the example of people buying/selling "scarce" items in some online role-playing games. There does exist a demand for the accumulation of virtual items, be it play money chips or Everquest gold. What people are REALLY paying for is time. Rather than spend time accumulating, it may be far easier and dare I say it, more economical for them to simply purchase the end result from someone who has more time on their hands. Certainly, it's odd, but it's not that unrealistic for these virtual marketplaces to crop up. With the millions of online players, the demand for something seemingly without value exists on the fringe. Granted, most of us who are playing for real money don't feel the need to participate in that market, but by all means, don't be so surprised by it. |

You can't sell play money chips on ebay anymore. It has something to do with a rule about gambling or what not. I think it was about a year ago that they started to enforce this rule cause people had been selling chips on there for a while.
I haven't ever bought any play money chips but have sold a few million. I can understand why someone would buy em too. If you are making lots of money what is 10 dollars for a million or so play chips that you can donk off in any way that you choose. It better to loose those while drunk than a couple hundred in a real game. |

 ]Yes... Trump would like it. Better ROI after taking the Time value of money into account. TIME = Money "You're Fired!"
