around $200+. usually handmade sets are very expensive. And granite makeing it even more expensive. actually wouldnt be supprised if it went for $400 if its in nice condition.

oh and you could make them smaller very easy with things like paint.

Take it to a games/hobby shop then and see if they'll buy it. If no one uses it you're better off selling it.

I have a 300 year old hand craved wooden set that is worth a few thousand thanks to my grandparents who were chess enthusiasts. Not quite sure how much a granite set would cost but I would say upwards of $250

Yeah, probably sell it for $200, but my dad got me a really nice handmade wooden one from India for 40 ruppees.
