I would think that Home & Garden shows or Home Improvement stores would be a good place. Craigslist people generally are not the type of people who can even comprehend the value of something like this and if they do they will low ball you in order to make the money for themselves. Make flyers or advertise in a local paper if they offer free ads so that you aren't putting your money into it. Those mediums offer a wider audience than craigslist. I have been trying to sell an Italian hand carved marble tub for a while now so I feel your pain!
When my wife first posted the table to one of her online sales groups, someone told her they had seen one for about $2000. I believe it; the thing is really a solid piece. It's just tough trying to find the market. Thanks for your response, though, I'll think more about this.
