Follow the link below for pictures. I live in Haebangchon, and can meet you anywhere in the Itaewon area. Text me at 010-7763-6464.

Both cases are missing a few chips (15-20 from each case). They are 13.5 gram chips, which means that they are heavy and have a good feel. In my opinion they are the best cheap chips you can get. I'm selling them because I've upgraded to some sweet custom clay chips.

I'm selling them individually (70,000 case) or together (130,000) for both. I'm firm on those prices. I lugged these cases here from North America last year, and it was a pain. I think the cases weigh 22 pounds each with chips.

How about 72,917 (ok, 73,000 would be easier) for a complete set? Where do you get a table like the one in your pic?

One case is sold. Jadarite if you want the other case, it's yours for 70.

I had the table shipped from Singapore. (It's a table top)

I would be interested, but only if it were a complete set.

Jadarite,

If the set is missing 15-20 chips that's still pretty close to a full set.

Just my opinion.

I would suggest getting your facts straight first. I was not complaining about bringing them from North America, I was merely commenting that I'm not accepting below value because it is a hassle to get chips in Korea.

I do know a little bit about poker chips. After all, I use custom clay chips in my poker room. These are the best "cheap" chips you can get on the market. They're 13.5 gram chips that riffle well, stack well, and sound decent.

If anyone wants, they're free to buy 9, 10, or 11 gram plastic chips off of a Korean website. To get anything of decent quality in Korea (in terms of poker supplies) you usually have to order from abroad. Ordering chips in Korea is expensive for two reasons. First, because chips are heavy, they are expensive to ship. Second, Korea may slap customs on chips (I've paid customs myself).

Spliff all you want dude, but it's a good deal in North America, and a very good deal here.

Here's a link for a set of 300 chips for $95.00

To the Seller, you are nuts man.

70 thousand for an incomplete set, when you can order the same thing off of any korean website for 45 000. COMPLETE and with the same case.

You want to basically charge people because you made the decision to bring them from North America and are now complaining about the hassle it was.

I mean I have heard of price gouging but this is crazy.

I just got a 300 chip set for 28 000

Oh and if a mod comes on here and says that I didnt need to post this, I am making a statement for all to read that this guy is selling an item way over market price. I am letting people know that this item is way overpriced, which is a corner stone of the market economy.

I'd have to agree man - don't pass your mistakes on to the buyers. On the other hand, if someone is silly enough to buy this without doing research, it's their own fault.

Well, I guess I do. I saw the link that you posted previously to chips..and they were 11 gram...big difference.

$55 is a good deal for 13.5/14 gram chips. However, if you could get that shipped here for $15, and avoid customs, I'd be amazed. A single case weighs 22 pounds and is oversized.

LOL, okay man whatever, I mean, I just bought the exact same weight chips offline for 28 000, but apprently you know what I bought better than I do.

Perhaps "complain" was the wrong word but the fact remains that you are charging a fairly high price for an incomplete set because you happened to choose to go through the ordeal of carting them from North America.

Oh and its NOT a great deal in North America either mate. Check Ebay, you can get 14 gram chips or better starting at 25 bucks, and most of them can be "buy it now " for $55 Of course then you have to ship which brings it to about what you are selling for a complete set.

Is it possible to get a few more chips in Korea to make a complete set? I know this will sound crazy to people who are really into this, but if I got it, I would only be concerned about getting a complete set. It looks like some red chips are missing. Is that all?

ok so clearly this is an ongoing pointless battle between the seller, and a non-potential buyer at this point.

To the non-buyer...if you aren't considering purchasing the chips, simply don't. The guy's gunna sell his chips for what he deems fair. If you don't like it, don't buy'em.

To anyone looking for poker chips....if your game is good enough, you shouldn't worry about a 70,000 investment when you'll be pulling in winnings at your own games. If you suck at poker, well then you know what NOT to do.

End this rant already.
