Sets for Sale


BUYERS & LOOKYLOOS: Just scroll down and read the posts. Know what you want. Read FAQ 7.j. If you see a set you wish to buy or trade for, please contact the seller by email.
Visitors to this site are especially advised to be wary of claims that a set is "ivory". See our What's It Made Of? page for assistance in how to tell ivory from bone. Caveat emptor -- make sure you're sure before you buy.

SELLERS: Please write us an email describing the set(s) you have to sell or trade. Limit one post per seller (second post will result in deletion of previous post). Please describe your set as completely and accurately as possible. Be sure to note any missing or mismatching tiles.
Sellers are advised to be wary of buyers who place large orders, then send a check for considerably more than the purchase amount and want the surplus refund mailed to an alleged friend or relative. The check is no good. Read FAQ 7.n.
Before you use the term "ivory" in your post, check our What's It Made Of? page to be sure your item is truly ivory. Please don't use the term "ivory" as a color descriptor - we prefer "cream" or something - try not to use the word "ivory" unless you are selling a genuine ivory item. We append an "ivory alert" to all items containing the word "ivory" so our readers are aware you might be pulling the wool over their eyes!

EMAIL YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT to Webmaster@Sloperama.com or click the picture below to submit your Set For Sale post. In your email, you must provide a detailed description of the set you are selling (how many tiles, what accessories, overall condition, etc.). Entries that do not provide sufficient information about your set will not be posted. Also include a URL so people can see photos of your set (click here for information about how to get photos posted online). Do not email us your photos - we do not host them for you. Click here to learn about how to post photos online. No shouting, please. Typing in all capital letters is considered "shouting." If any part of your post is typed in all capital letters, it will be converted to all lower case before going online.

Mah-Jongg sellers and buyers take note! There are a lot of scammers out there and they check out boards like this one.
