BUYERS & LOOKYLOOS: Just scroll down and read the sellers' posts. If you see an item you wish to buy or trade for, please contact the seller by email.

SELLERS: Write an announcement describing the accessories that you have to sell or trade (racks, bettors, wind disks, "money" sticks or chips, dice, cases, cards, chochkes, etc.). Please describe your item as completely and accurately as possible. Limit one post per seller (second post will result in deletion of previous post). You can click the image below or you can email your post to "AS at sloperama dot com."
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 - instead, use "cream" or something - try not to use the word "ivory" unless you are selling a genuine ivory item.
When you make a new post, any old posts of yours are deleted. If you update your posts often, consider banner advertising (contact ). In an effort to keep the Maj Exchange lean and clean, the listings are cleaned up when the page gets too large. If your item has not sold and was delisted, please feel free to relist it.

EMAIL YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT to AS@Sloperama.com or click the picture below to submit your Accessories For Sale post. In your email, you must describe the items you have for sale. Entries that do not provide sufficient information will not be posted.
Do not email photos to us with your announcement. If you have photos or a sale page online, you may also provide the URL (the web address) of the online location of your photos (we do NOT host photos for you - that is not part of the free service we provide). Read www.Sloperama.com/majexchange/pictures.htm for information about how to post pictures online. Then once your photo is online, provide the URL along with your post.


Click this picture to submit your own announcement.

Visitors to this site are especially advised to be wary of claims that an item 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. And sellers are advised to be wary of overseas buyers who want to overpay with forged cashiers' checks.

How the heck can I sell this thing?

From: "Christina Mansson" (cfangacyahoo.com)

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.

SCAM ALERT

Mah-Jongg sellers take note! Be advised that sometimes your "for sale" post can get offers from scam artists who offer to buy your stuff but are really trying to rip you off. For example (actual email from April, 2007):

    From: mike.howie@yahoo.com
    To: SSSloperamacom
    Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 5:13 PM
    Subject: Item for sale@http://www.sloperama.com/majexchange/sets.htm
    Hello,
                    Am interetsed on this item and am willing to buy it now so let me know if the item is still available for sell and the pix, condition including the last asking price of the item okay...So let me hear from you.....

(And another actual email from 2005):

    Name = BEN
    Email = benjohnsonstoreltd@yahoo.com

    GOODDAY SELLER,
    My name is ben johnson the sales Rep. of ben Stores Limited. We
    will love to process an international order from your store which we need it
    shipped directly to our client in west africa (Nigeria). All payments would be made through the Credit Card We will want to know if you do ship internationally. We will
    be awaiting your soonest response. Please reply back so we can list the products needed.
    Kindest Regards.
    ben johnson
    Note: Kindly include your website or the list if the available item in stock.

Note the warning signs of a scam artist:
  1. It's hard to tell exactly what he wants to buy. He seems desirous of buying just any old thing. This vagueness would continue, should you email him back.
  2. "Mike Howie" has contacted other vendors to order mah-jongg merchandise but apparently doesn't know anything about mah-jongg whatsoever.
  3. Odd that "Ben" says he'll pay by credit card - usually these guys want to pay by check, and the check turns out to be for more than the purchase amount, so they need the difference reimbursed (and that's where you lose money, because his check bounces). So I don't know what this guy's deal is - maybe bait and switch (saying now that he'll pay by credit card, but when it comes down to it, "oops can I pay you by check instead"), or maybe he has stolen credit card numbers.
  4. "Ben" mentioned Nigeria. Everybody is well familiar with the Nigerian scam, right? You've gotten those emails? The main business activity in Nigeria is, well, scams. You can look it up on the internet. The US gov't has warnings posted about doing business with anyone in Nigeria. See http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/brochures/brochures_2113.html.
  5. Frequently the buyer wants his order (usually a large amount of goods) shipped to some overseas location (not necessarily Nigeria). So what happens to the hapless seller is that the check is bad (or the credit card turns out to be bad) and a large amount of expensive inventory is now gone. Seller beware.
