I think perhaps a lot more… The species is protected due to overcutting, and cannot be harvested until it has died naturally. Figuring they can get several hundreds of years old, this explains a lot better how it is so expensive nowadays.

I thought this deserves its own topic.

I wonder if it is possible to copy or some how have a post in two places. Because the original post kinda deserved a place on the original thread.

In the mean time,

I’ve made it clear what the “…” in this thread means.

Done :wink:

 

Based on this thread over at Discourse.org, which is 16 days old and was responded to by one of the co-founding core team members, I’m fairly positive this is not currently a feature :thinking:.

so there’s hope? :smiley:

Back when the site existed, GoGameGuru (now defunct) was offering a floor goban for $100,000.

It may have even been purchased sometime between July 2014 and Dec 2016, since it is listed as out of stock later https://web.archive.org/web/20161221063851/https://shop.gogameguru.com/kaya-go-board-86/

Note: it was not necessarily sold through GoGameGuru, I think I recall seeing this same item listed via Kiseido’s online shop. For such an exclusive and high-priced item, I imagine that it was listed for sale via multiple shops just for the publicity.
