Ok guys, I promise this is the last post for a while. I've just been so excited and I'm so sorry for flooding this forum. I've already asked the site admin to remove my old posts and waiting on an answer from him.
So, I've been on a shopping spree on yahoo auctions japan and have bought the following items.
http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/p357608452 - Stones Around 50 euros
http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/m109454082 - Bowls Around 40 euros
http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/d143195486 - Goban Around 20 euros
I know shipping is going to be expensive for the Goban, but I have that sorted to get it cheaper, so not too worried about it. And I really want to restore it ( not touching the patina, but more so cleaning and using some type of nourishing oil to help get some shine back.
So... what do you guys think of my new set?
My new equipment!! Thoughts?

Re: My new equipment!! Thoughts?
Ooh, looks like nice stuff!
And for heaven's sake, don;t worry about flooding the forum. All of us grumble that things are too slow around here and not enough people are posting. It's fun for most of us to have an enthusiastic newcomer like you turn up. (And anyone who doesn't like it doesn't have to read your posts. Nobody's forcing them to.)

One minor point on the bowls. Don't store your stones in them after playing. Kaya has a lot of oil in it and has a tendency to stain clamshell.

Looks very, very, very cool, and a goban with a lot of character.
Look for invisible blood stains on the goban. (I also have some on mine, and nobody else seems to be able to see them.)
