Garde analog and digital chess clock

Does anyone know how many of the garde digital/analog hybrid clocks ever were made? And how much they're worth? I found one in my garage and I'm deciding whether to start playing with it or to sell it.

I don’t know. I know though that they are collectible, as it illustrates a transition from analogue to digitally clocks. I bought one several years ago in a flea market in Switzerland.

Interestingly I saw exactly the same picture in another thread here in chess.com, but another member.

Yeah I used the same picture someone else used, I have not yet taken a picture of mine

750? Too much! I could sell one for 250, if somebody is interested.

brasileirosim,

 

If you have that model, in working condition, I will buy it from you for $250 plus shipping. Thanks.

Sorry, I will probably sell it to another person who already contacted me. I have a second one though, but I am still not sure if I will sell it, as I would like to keep one. If I decide to sell it, I will post here.

Ok, thanks. I’d appreciate it if you keep me in mind. Thank you.

The price is too high, of course.

I have two of these clocks and I will probably sell them soon, as I want to reduce my collection. I think 250 is the right price, perhaps even less.

Man, does that EVER bring back the memories... those were exactly the type of chess clocks we had decades ago in my scholastic chess youth...
