There are folks on the board who run charity fundraisers that use casino quality equipment, or work for party companies that set up "casino nights". I wonder if they might be interested?

I listed on craigslist and put some photos with dimensions.
Thanks again for the interest. It is a nice table I think, but it is big!

Maybe the gamblers general store would buy it. eBay is probably the best bet though. You'd be amazed, someone from Arizona would probably drive up to get it, if listed on there.

I rolled them bones with Aaron on his table. It is perfect if you want a craps table. Maybe I missed it, but what would it cost to buy an equivalent table new and have it shipped to your house and set up?

Yeah, so far, in general, NOBODY is even SLIGHTLY interested in this table. I don't think GWAE even touches classifieds. If they mentioned it, I'd assume it would be to ridicule anyone thinking there were utility to ownership.
But that's just how I see things. Munchkin and Dancer I've never heard them say much positive about gambling WITHOUT an edge. It's just a polarization of the shoe in my view. So that's why I say it's a far fetch. But you could be right and I do appreciate the comment given you were serious.

It seems like you are now willing to sell it for a fraction of what you think it is really worth. If you think you can have it 'appraised' at a value of say, $6,000, isn't it better to donate it to a charity and take that donation than get the $1000 cash you are quickly approaching?

Send me $1000 and I'll stop posting for
a year. You will still have the table to get
part of the $1000 back on. Although it
would be entertaining to splice you
chainsawing the table onto the end of
some of your craps instruction videos.
It's the logical and inevitable ending
to all dice control instruction.

The answer depends on the person's income and tax situation.
That would be of little or no value to someone who cannot itemize deductions, for example.

While I feel sort of bad for Aaron having to eat this investment, I also am encouraged that there is little market in sin city for an in-home craps table.
The lack of interest indicates to me at least that people have smartened up a bit and are no longer trying to sharpen their dice setting skills at home.
It was always a waste of time.

I'd just keep the thing. My idea is to sell it to a porn company so they can make a porno on it. Maybe rent the room $100 an hour so hookers can give massages on it. It fits two or three comfortably I'm sure. Can I make a reservation? If you give me $1000, I'll never post here, rent your table and keep $900. I'll just walk around Vegas asking girls if they want to have sex on a real craps table. Worst case scenario I make $200, you make $100. That craps table better be a virgin.

Those people can link to here if they want or search vegas Craigslist. But they can't afford to house a table the size of mine, much less ship to Texas or wherever those who claim to know more than me about DI hang out selling cars for kicks in between their million dollar wins.
Truth is that there is nobody in DI has ever had as nice a table as I. Maybe there never will be either.
This is a real full size Paulson, not a rubber wall attached to a board from Home Depot. The cost is the cost of 100 square feet of real estate. Even Galaxy Gaming can't afford a table the size of mine. Balk city!

A serious suggestion, sell it on eBay, for pick up. I think it's kind of bipolar just up and deciding to ruin your table. It can be sold, you just have to find the right buyer, which takes time. Probably a good place is at the craps tables around town to spread the word. I'd get that low price out of your head, because you've been ejected by the wrong people. Someone who buys this, has a very large house and has lots of money. Maybe a real estate broker can find someone with a gambling interest, large house, and money to burn. Pay a commission to them. Your table is worth everything you paid for it.
If you're moving out, you can take less if feeling the pressure, but it's just idiotic actually ruining that thing. It wont give you the feeling you think you'll get by the destroying that thing and it wont change you.

Do you think the chips at Golden Gate are "about equal" to those at the Wynn?
If so then I guess is a more tolerant opinion.
In my opinion, nobody's ever had a (real Paulson 14') table at home set up as nicely with Pauls chips, real buy/lay lammers, on/off and every kind of lammer, lock box with keys, custom limit sign, etc.
Every last part and piece from a real game.
Not Beau, or anyone.
Every single other setup has SOME compromise relative to mine.
As far as destroying the table I can buy another one if I want or not. It's "only money." I have my reasons and they are my own. Life is for living not taking prescriptions for common actions and anticipated results. If people want to make an event and donate, it's not just me that's paying to see the destruction, and it's very normal and not anything weird in my opinion. People like explosions in movies, for example. It's normal.
As far as the label "bipolar" I'm not sure how destroying a table is any more bipolar than shooting $1,000 worth of fireworks if that's what you want to do. I've gotten more mileage out of this table than most anyone could imagine. She's served her purpose and maybe it is time to go out with a bang!!

ZCore13's statement is correct for Washington State when it comes to gaming tables...they must be manufactured by a licensed Manufacturer and sold by a licensed Distributor. It may seem odd, but those are the rules in that state.
My guess is those are the rules in AZ as well based solely on Z's experience in that state.
