Excalibur Igor

Post by TracySMiller »

For some reason there are a bunch of Excalibur Igors on eBay right now with a Buy it Now price of $537. What???? Did something happen to the market I don't know about. Should I put mine up for sale? :-)

And I thought London Chess & Bridge took the overpriced crown asking for £800 + P&P

Glad mine came from Schach Niggemann, made a saving of almost £300.

VINTAGE!

VINTAGE! Ha, ha. I have this one, and believe me, it's not even worth what he's asking for shipping.

For a collector it could still be attractive. I guess for Steve it would be peanuts... :-P

By contrast, check out this recent beauty. I real collector's item.
Problem with the heavy wooden units is they are unsuitable for
international shipping, unless the price is irresistable.
