Replying to chess set it is on ebay just trying to see if its worth the shipping?

Question

to the people that told to look on ebay

Answer 1

Is it Staunton design?  Old ebony and ivory with certification that it isn't poached ivory.  Wood?  How big are the kings (assuming Staunton)?  How big are the bases (again, assuming Staunton).

Are the pieces "weighty"?

Oh Staunton = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Stau...

Other sets depend on intricacy of carving, age, material, etc.  I would notb even guess value via Internet.
