[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 8551649, member: 360"]Yes that seems to be a common theme. People WANT to learn or play, but they have nobody to play WITH. That's the problem that I and my two friends had. But now that we meet fairly regularly, we can play. In fact, we're meeting this weekend (Friday afternoon) and I agreed to bring my set along so we can have a few games. It is absolutely a treasure! The sets I've seen for sale online have ASTRONOMICAL prices attached to them. When I think of what I paid for this, four years ago, it sounds illegal, by comparison! Especially when you consider that the antique sets I've seen for sale, all come with faults of some kind. I don't think I've ever seen an antique set under $1,000, which wasn't cracked, chipped, splitting apart, missing pieces, or else, so delicate that you wouldn't dare to BREATHE on it, let alone PLAY with it...and if I'm spending SEVERAL. HUNDREDS. of dollars on an antique mahjong set, I damn well should be able to play with it as much as I want! I REALLY lucked out in finding this one.[/QUOTE]
