Ah, market forces, you can, if you wish to buy in Australia, (I buy on web from
Germany & save about 33% - Rebel9 currently $18aus) now ring or email 2 places &
get the best price.

Even an argument over who's got the lamest website exposes the market.

Anybody know of other Aussie chess shops with even lamer websites?
