Hi all! I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm really just trying to find out what my Chesster Phantom is worth, and I heard this might be a good place to ask. I can't seem to find any that have sold on eBay recently.
I got this Chesster Phantom ages ago as a Christmas present, and it's been in a box in my closet for years, if not decades. I recently opened it up and it's in great shape, has all the pieces, and works just as it should. Only thing that's missing is the clear plastic dome that I believe it had originally.
Any idea where I could sell it, and approximately what it's worth? Thanks for any help!

I presume 400-500 bucks should be the price, but the guy that really knows here is Steven Blincoe. Maybe I am totally out of target.chessterphantom wrote:Hi all!

Original box

pieces should include 2 pawn caps(2 white-2 black.. to denote promoted pawns)

Okay, thanks very much. I somehow thought it was worth more, I guess I'll keep it.Fernando wrote:I presume 400-500 bucks should be the price, but the guy that really knows here is Steven Blincoe.

Do not imagine the price I calculated and that Steve considered Ok is a result of greed or roughness. The market is scarce of Phantom, But there are literally hundreds of chess computer competing for the same tiny market of old farts interested in them,
If you do not play it, better sell it. In time what will happens is that its internals will deteriorate and the contrivance will not work at all.

Re: Looking to sell my Chesster Phantom "Eyeball"
Thanks, that's an excellent point. I hadn't considered that it will deteriorate. I think I might end up putting it up on eBay and let the market decide what it's worth.
