Subject: Embassy gift: great wooden chess board with luxurious pieces

Years ago the embassador of Argentina in my country, friend of mine trough
chess,  gave me a magnificent set compoed of the most beatiful wooden pieces and
board ever made, all of them deasigned and carved by a craftman that used to
work for Najdorf and some others Masters living in Argentina.
It is huge, so I rarely has the disposition to wipe a full table -the dinning
table- in order to use it.
I recall now I used it to play a game against IM Cifuentes.
I wonder what can I do with it.
Maybe to put it in eBay?
I could get around 1000 bucks for it, if not more.
Perhaps send it to a friend that collects chess stuff and has been as a father
to  me?
He could give to it good use in his museum.
I am talking of an old man that in the sunset of his life like to collect trivia
and caress all computers in the little hours.
Or I must return it to the dark corner where it is carefully packed?
Maybe could I make a luxurious bonfire and say farewell to chess?
Should I forget all this?
I accept suggestions...

Troublesome Regards
