Cool 'n' funky Go stuff on Ebay

Even though I am well-supplied with go gear now, I still can't resist occasionally cruising Ebay and seeing what's out there. Here are a few very cool items for any of you with seriously deep pockets looking to blow some major cash on totally unnecessary Go-related stuff, or those of you who, like me, just like to see what's out there. :D

Japanese vase with Go players scene on it.

Two sets of old Chinese Go bowls

EDIT-- I removed the links since they were long over with.

Several months ago, I came across an auction for a handful of Go stones that were taken from an abandoned Japanese bunker during WWII. That was also pretty cool, but it's been over for some time and I can't find the completed listing.

Another weird Go item for the very wealthy (or more wealthy than me, anyway) that I couldn't resist posting.

A carved stone with a Go scene on it.

My inner girl would dig that set. The woman in my life would throw it at me.

I would totally buy it, if I had $19,999 to blow....

Cool! I barely skimmed that thread. In any case, I think that turtle is the single coolest piece of Go equipment I've seen. Let us know if you get an answer to that question, please!

For $20k, you could contract out something really nice from your local artisan...
It looks nice, but I think the price is a bit high. I've seen some really nice sculptures move for that much money.
