Best place to sell a Japanese maple?

There's a very large and lovely Japanese maple in my back yard. If I liked Japanese maples, this would be my favorite plant. Sadly, I don't really like Japanese maples.

Since I've seen other Japanese maples of this size going for upwards of $1,000 in nurseries, it occurs to me that maybe I could sell it. I know that you can't do that on gardenweb, so my question is: Are there any mailing lists or web sites that would be good for advertising this kind of thing? I thought of Craigs List, but they don't really have a plant/gardening section, and I didn't really see a lot of plants listed in the other areas.

Also, I was thinking of saying that the buyers would have to dig and transport the tree themselves, and lowering the price to reflect this. Do you think this would go over well? Or should I be prepared to dig it myself and offer it to anyone who can come pick it up?
