Hi every one . . . i hope your day is cruis'n and you're gettin' to chill with some cool chess.

Thought i'de just ask around if any one knew where i could get one these timers from in Australia ?

Excalibur Chess Game Time II

I was gonna get one via the online shop here at chess.com but i would have to pay $80.00 postage for a $40.00 clock . . . . . doesn't take long to figure that one out *~*

So if you know where they would be available in Australia please drop me a line and i'll put a shrimp on the Bar B for ya !

Thanks in advance : )

Not what you want to hear, but I think there are better chess clocks for the money anyway.  I'm sure you can get a dgt easy timer for the same price over there.  The excalibur buttons are horrible :).

So true, do you have a reason for wanting that clock

 Thanks for your replys, i am open to other suggestions and will check out the dgt easy timer.

I thought the excalibur would be a good clock as its endorsed by the U.S Chess Federation and World Chess Hall of Fame. I've never used one or even seen it for real and heard mixed reviews about it, ranging from " flimsy and poorly built " to "robust and good value for money".

So, honestly, i am a bit confused about the actuall quality and performance of the excalibur but thought it was worth having a look at. 

But i will check around and consider other clocks : )
