Yeah, it was a boxwood/ebony set and somebody got a very good deal. I almost bid $215 when bidding was still under $200. There's no telling if I would have won because the winning bid was an automatic bid with an unknown upper limit. Still...that would have been one sweet deal.
The sets I'm mostly interested in are in their ebay store but haven't gone up for bid yet. They're still a good deal and if I scrape together a little more money I'll make an offer on one.
The Jaques Of London sets at the HOS site are really nice. And they're a steal at their lowest price ever of $5,295.00 USD (just joking). I like the look of most of the sets on the HOS site. They have a few on eBay I'm keeping my eye on. A nice 4.4" New York 1924 set just went for about $213, which is around a third of their list price.
I've also seen some nice sets here http://www.thechesspiece.com/ and here http://www.thechessstore.com/category/120_chess_sets__pieces_only_.110_wood_chess_sets/
HOS 4.4" NY 1924 in ebony, for $213. A steal of a deal.
