Life In 19x19

I tried my luck with yutopian but they didn't reply to my email of inquiry (yet) Thanks!

I didn't look now whether they still offer Ing stones on their Web site but the last two times (with perhaps half a year in between) I looked they still had them there—and when I ordered (yes, this happened twice!) I received a mail that they aren’t carrying Ing stones any more.

I also am interested, I’d like to purchase one, or even better: two sets for our Go club, for some variety. Heck, I’d even buy used stones if I’d find some. (Not interested in the Ing bowls, though, but I’d take them if this were the only way to get these stones.)

Yes, I just placed an order yesterday but got the following:

Me: Is this Ing stone set still available?
Katherine: Sorry to tell you that this is out of stock.
Me: Thanks for letting me know, any Ing stones available at all? Thanks.
Katherine: Sorry to tell you that we only have the 9mm Korean glass stones for $35 with shipping.

That pretty much leaves us at $60 for a set of stones.

Yellow Mountain has those $15 plastic sets but they are hard to play with, so incredibly lightweight and slippery that pieces scatter on the board if you drop one (slippery!) or bump one.

There's the cheap "shinkwang" glass sets that are too small. The full size "jangstone" are at usually about $60.

Yunzi is more, and arguably has a lead problem.

RIP ING, clubs everywhere will miss you. I've been keeping an eye out looking for something decent to pop up to buy 20 sets of for a tournament my local club wants to host, nothing!

My local craigslist has a set for sale. $30 is reasonable. They might even ship....
