Default Best place to sell stuff?

Anyone have a recommendation for the best place to sell things. I have, amongst other things, a 9 foot pool table that isn't going to fit in my new villa.

I know of Souq, Dubizzle and Supermarkets, just looking for anyone's experiences of these.

You could also try the EW classifieds. I have sold items on there.


Of course, you post is a sneaky way of saying 'pool table for sale'

Oh, that's a surprise, someone wants to know how much it is. Didn't expect that.

Was going to advertise it for 6'000 AED, but I need to sell quickly so open to reasonable offers. It is worth the 6'000 as it's a full size, professional pool table from Dubai Snooker Club and comes with everything! It will need professional installation.

Times a ticking so make me an offer. Anyone???

Good luck.. for 6k, I think you need someone who is a bit more of a perfectionist pool player than a 'hit and hoper' like me..

Dubizzle worked fine. Souq was a pain...

It is a top quality piece of kit. Cost me a bloody fortune and I'm loathe to sell but can't find a villa that we can afford that has enough space. Did suggest ditching the dining table but that was quickly shot down.

I think "hesitant but motivated seller" is the term.

OK, now posted on EW at 5'000. I'll let you know if I get a response. Given the economy, may be willing to accept a much lower offer. Anyone want a top quality pool table at rock bottom price?

It's just to let everyone know what the best selling method is...
