there was a site called tilttraders that used to handle trading on full tilt and other sites, but I think it is down now. However, they never traded play chips as far as I know. Your best bet would be to try the full tilt poker forum. BTW, what's the going rate for playchips?

lmfao, u just made my day
When i first started playing NLHE, mainly in pub poker leagues, I started playing online at FTP.org (play money site), long before I was ready to deposit, or had any idea NDB's existed.
Anyway, the "high stakes play money" games might sound like a joke.. But honestly, you could get some pretty decent games going at SNGs with 100K+ buyins, and like wise on the highest blinds offered for ring game style. You might laugh, but the level of play at the higher end of the play money stakes shits all over the low-end of the real money.
You might think that wouldn't be so, but you need to remember, not everyone who is good at this game is a gambler, there's a lot who just won't do it, they genuinelly just enjoy the game. And I could understand someone paying a couple bucks for million or whatever play chips, to get into the good games..
Personally, I never would have, because to me, it's all about building up your play chips (POINTS !) and knowing you did it yourself. But just like there's a market for "play money" on world of warcraft.. this is no different, people buy stuff to go in virtual games, thats just a fact now days. And some people play decent poker, but dont want to play with real money.
Anyway, I wouldn't be to arrogant about it.. I can assure you, the people playing the "high stakes" FTP.ORG game are probably better than most here. Certainly better than people playing real money that aren't turning a profit.
