I am leavin in a month and a half and would like to take a nice 바둑 set home with me. Anyone know where I can buy one in or around seoul?

Depends on your defenition of nice. A serviceable set can be found at any of the department or convenience stores for just a few thou won. A really nice set, such as the ones used in televised professional competitions, can set you back hundreds, if not a thousand or more, bucks. You can go to your local news stand or bookstore and check the advertisements in the monthly Go magazine for those.

If you don't want to lug the thing around (as in shipping it yourself), you could always buy one from one of these outfits after you get back home.

You can order them through Gmarket, or sometimes get that brand at bookstores, office supply stores,etc
I got a Janggi set from them. Quite nice.
