    Hi all. I got these bone and bamboo mahjong tiles-- over 700 of 'em!-- at an estate sale yesterday.

    What would you recommend as the best way to re-sell them?

    I know there's a great discussion of these on another thread, inc @Shangas and others' input: https://www.antiquers.com/threads/mahjong.87206/

    I think there may be enough to make 2 'complete' -ish sets. Should I try selling the remaining ones in small groups?

    Where are all the '1's' in the bamboo suite?

    What are the red and green single-character tiles?

    Are the blank ones 'wild'? And if so, are they same as 'dragon' tiles?

    Are these all hand-made and likely antique or nearly so?

    Any help appreciated!! Thank you.

    that's just weird........:wacky:

    as if someone collected a bunch of random parts from broken up sets.???

    If u can make a complete set....great..... if not..... sell it as one lot... imo..
