My recommendation?  Buy or download a program to use on your computer.
Personally, I don't trust ebay, that's where people go to get robbed buying
stuff that belongs in a garage sale.

You can buy Chessmaster 6000 for less than $30.  You can download Der Bringer
for free at http://www.reubold.onlinehome.de/  You can also download Winboard
for free at http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/personal/Tim_Mann/chess.html and
you'll find links on the Winboard pages for downloads of the many great engines
available for it, such as Amy, Crafty, Comet, Phalanx, TCB, Little Goliath,
AnMon, Inmi, Exchess, LambChop, Tristram, SSE, (and more) all free downloads.

BTW, 1400 doesn't qualify you for "a relative weak player", that puts you well
above the Chess playing ability of the average person.
