Doing a quick search online I found a set that is priced at $699. Didn't check on the shipping costs and the description says that some of the corks are broken.
There are also some individual pieces that are running about $25 each. So, if the set really is in perfect condition, the asking price might be about right. If you can talk it down to $750 that would be a great deal (based on the minimal searching I performed anyway).
Hi, I have just seen a wonderful old chess set for sale in a local antique and curiosity shop and wondered if anyone could help. They want $950, it is in perfect condition and is really well made. The owner told me that it was made in 1969 and was originally sold as a limited edition Old Crow Whiskey Decanter collector set. He said that they are rare and that full sets are hard to come by. The pieces are about 15 inches tall and really nicely glazed. It seems like a fair price but I think I might be able to get him down to about $750, would that be a fair price? Thanks for any help. It will be a Christmas present for my father, I know he will love it.
