Unknown Chess Pieces

That is the website.  They are asking $29 US for one set, this includes shipping.  If you order more than one set shipping may drop a little, meaning, two sets should be a little less than $58 US.  This price does not include VAT (taxes).  The shop is not sure how much tax will be attached to this transaction.  I have no idea how the taxes work in Sweden, the locaiton of this ches shop.

VAT taxes are paid inside their own country. There should be none when they export the set.  But who knows.  

Maybe that is why the price does not include VAT, maybe there isn't any for sales to US buyers.  There is a language barrier, it might be my misunderstanding.  The shops do not seem to be prepared for sales in the United States.  Other than this set of chessmen, most of what they sell is available in the United States.

I ordered one but await an invoice .

Thanks Ken....On their site when ordering I didn't see where you can pay using paypal.

Bobby... you just enter his email in paypal... Ari has it set up that way for payments... I just logged in to paypal & entered his email & money was sent..

Kick... Thank You

I like the fat pawns. It makes perfect sense to have them designed like this if the set is unweighted. Pawns are most annoying when they're unweighted and unstable. Reminds me of the ru/soviet old sets which all had a lot of wood left over for the fat bases to have them weigh as much as possible without added weight.

Ari just emailed me. The set shipped out yesterday & said it will probably be here Tuesday.! That is dag nab fast IMO.

Just sent in my order to Ari....Thanks again Kick & ken

Sounds like you might be the first to receive the set.

It warms my heart to see this much interest in these classic pieces. I hope you all will like them!

Thanks for correcting the inaccuracies in the translations.

Looking forward to receiving the set.

Thanks Chrka.! The pieces look nice to me & the price + shipping was great also. Most people do not need to spend $200.00 or more for a decent playing chess set. The wide bases should make it very stable for Blitz.

Just ordered a set.

Good for you.! I should have mine in a day or two. I will post back when I get them.

looking forward to seeing them... it will have to make due until I receive the set I ordered.

Ken... I will let you know ASAP as soon as I get them & let you know how they play as my son likes to play blitz with me.! I always beat him but, he is improving.
