Thinking about the purchase of a pool table, but you are looking to buy used? This is a great way to go as you can typically get at least double the table for the money. In most cases when potential customers contact us, we look into the used table market first. You do have to be careful so you are not just buying someone else's problem. First thing to mention is to avoid the purchase of any single piece slate tables. There are a couple noteable exceptions including certain barbox tables and Diamond table models which are quite good. Below are a few things to a consider before purchase. If you have any questions about a table you are looking please send us you pictures or online link. 1) What is the condition of the table overall, cloth and cushions? 2) Has the table been subjected to abuse, or excessive moisture? 3) Where is the table located? and what is the access to remove it from current location? 4) Do you have room for the table in your home? 5) What is the table's value, should you decide to sell it in the future? |
