But why not a form a chess club here on chess.com as well. Better still a club here and a group on facebook as well. For a few months keep this thread active posting links to both places to increase membership. What is critical though is regular and respected admins for both places and clear set of rules.

I started a facebook page Sell and buy anything Chess on facebook.  If you would like to join Rishi you can be one of the administrators.

I am not a regular here at all back after almost 4 year hiatus. Many regular and respected posters here like eyechess, cgrau, Ipswiich.

BTW how about a shorter name like Chess Marketplace ?

Jenndesil

That may be better.  Thanks for the help

Maybe we could setup a new thread with the topic - "Chess Marketplace" 

Post both the links in it. Search for better superadmins and admins and formulate the rules of conduct. 

Jenndesil

That is a really smart idea

Matt,

The OP posted almost six months back and hasn't logged in for past two months. There clearly seems to be a need for buy/sell platform on chess.com without any legal liabilities for the owners. If not chess.com then maybe a facebook group.  

Senior and Regular members who post here regularly could discuss this with the site owners ? 

Pre-condition should be before posting for sale , the item should be listed on ebay or etsy.

How does the group name : Chess Marketplace sound ? 

Sounds great.  The "Geek Market" on BoardGameGeek has served me well as both a seller and a buyer.

eBay link to Black Full Size Touch Button Chronos Chess

I don’t have a chess set to sell. However, I am

selling my full-sized black touch button Chronos Clock on eBay if anyone is interested.

I bought it several years ago and I remember it being extremely difficult to find. I used it like four or five times and it is in excellent cosmetici shape. Unfortunately I lost the instruction booklet but still have the original box.

Hey chess fans I need your opinions!

I've been working on bringing this portable chess board/set idea to life and ideally to market, after doing a bunch of google searching there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of comparable options. What do you guys think of the design? Right now the CAD is not 100% functional- more of a design mock up. Stylistically you might call it corporate/modern with the brushed aluminum chassis and an internal black foam inlay. The foam inlay will store the custom game piece theme I've designed to pair with it but before I reveal the theme designs I would appreciate some super honest feedback just on the board itself.

 

What do you like or dislike about it?

How high will the board sit off the table top?

In my experience whenever I have had such "box" designed chess set, the board is sitting too high for comfortable play.  And that includes using a Chess clock which might be sitting too low compared to the playing level.

And that is the problem I have with the tournament sized setups like this.  The smaller, 10" or even 12" sizes have smaller pieces and the edge thickness of the box is also thinner.  When we get a box to hold a set with 1.5" to 1.7" base diameters, then the box size gets kind of too thick to use on a table top.

cryptofiatchess

Each of half of the board is 2" thick not including the raised borders (1/4") the game pieces have 1.5" diameters so technically there is still some wiggle room to lower the heights. The size of the board extends to 18" fortunately this is all still just in CAD and can be edited rather easily.

Would it be more sensible to shrink the size to make it more compact? The idea is to create a chess board that lends itself to serious and casual chess players. I'm hoping the theme will also draw some good attention and discussion, once the design has been refined.
