Sandyshores29718 -> Where would I find (8/3/2008 1:48:28 AM)
I'm a little early, but I'm wanting to get someone very dear to me a chess set for Christmas. Not the walmart special either. Thought of having something carved on the bottom too..maybe something from my heart. My problem is, where do I find a place to do this and keep it under 200?

bearing in mind that i know NOTHING about chess and am just going upon my mad searching skillz... http://www.customchess.com/ is pretty awesome...their prices seem to go from about $200 to much higher, but they do have some lower end options. http://www.differentthoughts.com/chessset.htm this isn't as nice but you can personalize the box for the set. http://cgi.ebay.com/Personalized-Laser-Engraved-Chess--Checker-Mirror-Board_W0QQitemZ320281533420QQcmdZViewItem?IMSfp=TL0808011132r9973 this is really neat imho :) or something like this http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/11479069/3D_Laser_Engraved_Crystal_Chess_Set.html

Where do you play online? I've been looking for something like that. I suck at chess, but I like playing. :) I even have an unused chess set. sigh No one here to play with...chess that is.

I play chess and go over there occasionally.

Any chance you or a friend will be going to Mexico soon? They have lovely hand carved onyx chess sets very reasonable, everywhere.

I Googled engraved chess set and the information found was extensive. There are so many varieties of pieces, and board types. Most of the prices of the sets I looked at were well within your budget.

We play on yahoo messenger at times while we chat. I think I'm going to get a cheap 5 dollar set for this weekend though. quote: ORIGINAL: DarkSteven Any chance you or a friend will be going to Mexico soon? They have lovely hand carved onyx chess sets very reasonable, everywhere. Sadly, I don't think so. I 've looked on Ebay, it shows some promise thats for sure. I wish I wasn't moving around Christmas or I'd be able to get him something better. sigh Thank you everyone.
