How the heck can I sell this thing?

Subject: Automatic Shuffling Mah Jong Table
> Hi-
> I am not sure you can help me, but I thought I would try.
> I inherited an Automatic Shuffling Mah Jong Table from my dad, and I don't use it.  It is in very good condition and it works and has all the pieces. Basically, he bought it a few years back because it was a pretty cool piece of engineering. His Mah Jong group would rotate houses every other week and there were 12-16 players, so I think it was only used 2-4 nights total.
> I am interested in selling it and I went to an e-bay store and they said that they were not sure it would sell on e-bay, so I am trying to find out the best way to sell it. I am also not 100% sure what would be a proper price to ask for.
> Can you help me?  I am in the East Phoenix area, and I don't think there are many people around here that actually play Mah Jong. It is really heavy, so the e-bay store said that they would make the buyer responsible for shipping...which again, I have not idea if that would be appropriate.
> If you are not sure what I can do with this table, can you offer me another person to contact who may be able to help me?
> Thanks in advance,
> Christina Mansson

Hi Christina,
I bought my Japanese dealing machine on eBay. If you don't post it on eBay, you definitely won't reach potential buyers on eBay. So if you want to sell it... well, go ahead and post it on eBay. (Tip: post it for starting price of 99 cents, that's cheaper.) I'm also posting this on my Accessories For Sale bulletin board.

Another thing you can try is FAQ 15. Keep in mind that your table is only good for Asian forms of mah-jongg (it's useless for people who play only American/NMJL rules since it doesn't deal enough tiles). The tips I offer in FAQ 15 for finding mah-jongg players in your area can possibly help you find people locally who might want to buy it.

May the sale be with you.
