play money chips

Somewhere on this forum I found info about selling your play money chips.
I went to the link POKER CHIPS PLAY CHIPS BUY AND SELL PLAY MONEY POKER BONUSES and sold $2 mil for $20. It was legit & took about 5 min. I wish I knew about this sooner as I was broke for quite a while & could of used the $20.00 on the site.
Anyone have comments ?
If your a halfway good player it beats the hell out of freerolls to start a bankroll.

Why do they do this? Play chips are worth nothing. Just to look impressive?

They are clearly worth *something* if this is such a massive buisness.

Things only have value to what a human places on it.

He resells to people that want to play in higher stakes play money games
pokerstars only gives you $2000 at a time

"He resells to people that want to play in higher stakes play money games

That is one of the most insane sentences I have read in a long long time. Not ANYTHING against you JJ, whatsoever--I just had no idea someone would spend real $$ to get more play chips. How naive am I?!?!

PLAY CHIPS LMAO

man that is sure crazy to buy them play chips for real money, cuz the guy buying sells them to other people which still makes no sense at all cuz then y the hell r those others buying them...unless there is a game where u can make real money from play chips, like on Full Tilt if u have 500k play chips u can buy into a tourny worth $40 total...which i think first gets $5, 2nd gets $3 and 3-18 get $2

People do apparently buy play chips. I think we can all agree on "why!?". Nevertheless, that site looks like the person who made it has no concept of quality graphic design or html coding. It might be legit if the person buying and selling these things is party off their rocker. Onlinepokergoods.net? Who's thinking up names like these? lol

lol i started my BR from selling Play chips!!!

Onlinepokergoods is actually one of the good ones; you should see some of their competition.

The business of buying and selling playchips has been around for years. Pokerstars officially frowns on it, but they don't really press the issue too hard. The seeling of play money chips is banned on eBay, though, or at least used to be.

Fwiw, Pokerstars play money is better than all other play money.

One recent example from Jay Leno's show is some idiot paying several hundred dollars on ebay for the sock of a papparazzi whose foot was ran over by the limo of a celebrity. How insane is THAT?
