At any rate, if you had any thoughts on some of ymimports's pricing strategies it would be interesting to see some of those thoughts on your blog. :) It would appear that ScatCat also has an interest in the quality so I'll be sure to provide some photos and impressions, myself. Nice purchase! I was thinking that, perhaps, I was the ChiyoGuineaPig for the 15cm goban after you left the KGS message. A $150 Go set is probably closer to most of your (overstretched) budgets. Still, I think this turn of events is good not just for me but also for many of you. There's a big difference between $153 and my preferred Kuroki set which would have cost $700. Kuroki but, alas, most of my discretionary income must go to ChiyoChan's college fund.

I was very much hoping to acquire a lovely set of real slate-and-shell stones from Mr. Let's hope all turns out well in the shipping process. That will help you with your decision to bid or not. When the set arrives, I will blog a product and purchase experience review and provide photographs. You can find these sets by entering these words in an eBay title search: kaya go board

Over the next week, I will be blogging about that research which may help you with your own bidding efforts. I had done a bit of research on this product before placing my bid. The bid was carefully planned but I did not think I would win as these sets normally go for $138 to $203. After adding shipping from Southern California to the San Francisco Bay Area and 8.25% state sales tax (inapplicable to everyone who lives outside of California), the total cost came to $152.38.
