When I was a kid I remember British Chess magazine has a close-out fire sale on sets made of ivory for 5 pounds each.

Good to see you got one. I'm tracking my shipment in from Canada.

I emailed Regency Canada and got a reply from David Lawless, saying he had a 21" board, and that he was heading out to ship a 23" board and would be right back with shipping info. Ordered the 21" board - he said he would ship it out asap. I'm a happy camper. :)

Expected Delivery Day: Wednesday, May 7, 2014 !

Arrived today. Bullet proof packaging; outer box, double bubble wrap, original factory box. All the Drueke paperwork - the board is pristine. Kudos to David Lawless of Regency Chess, Canada.

How did all the Drueke fan boys miss this auction ? There were eight brand new Drueke's sold at less than $100.

A 23 inch for $73 . They look brand new, not used.

A 15 inch Drueke for $23.

I found this while doing a google search for Drueke chess board but narrow google search down to last one month. Missed a nice find by just three days. :(

That auction did not offer shipping, so you would have had to arrange for a third party to pick up, pack, and ship the boards. This is usually quite expensive, so you need to factor that cost in, and this was probably at least partly why the boards went cheap.

Agreed Andy, shipping charges makes this a complicated process for international buyers, but this was a good bargain for someone in US.
