How about the Egyptian Pharaoh approach to the afterlife. Cuts out Ebay
completely. Start building the tomb now. Masses of self space for the chess
computers. 500 electrical outlets enough? Layout to your specification. Security
devices to thwart the Tomb Raiders. Then you can take them with you. Problem
solved.

Of course you will need an executor with a deep respect for chess computers to
make sure all your wishes are complied with.
