What is the resale value of pool balls not made of Bakelite?
Unless the balls are made of ivory used pool balls have very little value. Balls go out of round as a result of normal play, and therefore a new set of cheaply made $30 balls is almost certainly superior for play than set that has had a lot of use. Ivory pool balls have sold for more than $200 apiece. If the pool balls are not collectible, such as ivory, they have little collectible value.

Why does pool table felt shed fibers?
Friction. The movement of the rolling pool balls does no damage to the pool felt. However, the pool balls accumulate pool chalk that is very abrasive. The pool chalk accumulated on the balls and dropping on to the felt both result in tearing of the felt fibers as balls are struck or slide on the table. Occasionally balls bounce or are jumped on the table, resulting in even more damage. Damaged felt is a part of playing pool.
