That was me who wanted a Morphy set. I ended up getting the Reyakjavic (sp) Blood Rosewood/Ebony set and am VERY happy with my purchase. Dont really need another right now, but I would love to have have either Morphy ebony set or the Collector.
You are right though, there are some GREAT deals to be had.
I know this has been thrown out there on more than one occasion, but I just wanted to let anyone out there interested in buying a high-end HOS wood chess set that there are some incredible deals happening on ebay in the last few weeks. Collector Ebony sets going for close to $200, and Morphy Ebony sets going for even less. The last two Morphy Ebony sets have gone for $156 and $161 and another one is on there right now. Someone here was pining for a Morphy Ebony set but I couldn't find their post!
So just a friendly heads up. I've been closely following auctions on the sets I like since I got my Imperial Collector a couple months back. I really like the Morphy sets next after the Collector/Imperial, and couldn't take how low they were going for. So, yes, I now have won a Morphy set. I'll post some photos when it arrives.
