Duration: 24hrs (Ends on 3/27/15 at Noon Pacific time)
Opening Bid: 0.8BTC PLUS SHIPPING
Bid Incriments: 0.05BTC

I purchased this sculpture from Paddle8 a few years ago from an artist in the Ukraine. It is a giant Queen chess piece and the artwork was entitled Woman in a Black Dress. This is a beautiful artwork and has drawn many a conversation in my office. It's time to change the decorations in the office after 2 years of looking the same so i am getting rid of this piece so someone else can enjoy it and i can find a new sculpture for my office.

The original purchase price was $825 (plus auction fees i had to pay) so the opening bid is a hell of a steal.

There will be no sniping on this auction, if a bid is placed within the last 5 minutes of the auction, the auction will be extended by 15 minutes untill all bidding has stopped.

It is nice, but still it's just a piece of wood.
Your starting price is too high I think. It's auction, should be less.

It's an art sculpture from the Ukraine, it's only a piece of wood to people with no sense of culture. By your definition the Mona Lisa is just a piece of canvas with paint on it.

Will work out very expensive by the time you have purchased the other 31 pieces and the board.

0.8 x 32 = 25.6BTC or at current exchange rate - $6348

Only joking  Grin

For sure, but i dont think there are any other pieces. I only bought it to celebrate breaking 2,000. Not as part of a set.
