Where to sell African items?

Nitro ExpressWhere to sell African items?
I can't find a forum on AR that addresses what I am trying to do, and since taxidermy is about as close as it gets, I thought I would ask some of the better-informed members to point me in the right direction.
A few years ago I purchased several items in RSA from retail outlets--a ladies' tote bag, pair of sandals and some other items that were made (at least partially) from zebra hides.
Everything was declared at Customs on return to the U.S., and nothing is made from anything prohibited, to my knowledge.
These items are brand-new and I need to dispose of them.
Where would the best place be to sell these things? Ebay? Some other Africa-related website? I know Saeed only wants hunting/shooting items in the Classified forum on AR.
Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

Well, I don't want to abuse Saeed's generosity, and these items are "hunting related" only in the sense that 1) I bought them while I was on a hunting trip, and 2) they are made, at least in part, from hides of an animal (zebra, to be exact) that was on my trophy list. But not THE zebra that was shot on safari.
The items were purchased in Cape Town at that mall by the waterfront after our safari was over. So, I'd be really stretching to call them "hunting related."
Unless Saeed sees it differently . . .
