How can I sell my used pool tables?
Pool tables are a fun addition to any home that can be the centerpiece of any game room. Buying a new pool table can be expensive, though. A new, 9ft pool table can cost over $5000 for a basic, top of the line model, with prices going upwards for more decorative woods and cloth options. One way to save money on a pool table for your home is to think about buying used pool tables. Used pool tables can be bought for a fraction of the price of new ones and are a good option for people who want to buy a pool table, but are on a budget. Most of the times, these tables are still in good condition and will last for many more years to come. One of the best sources for buying used pool tables is old pool rooms that are going out of business, moving, or renovating. Often, the owners of these establishments are looking to move their tables as quickly as possible to raise money or to make room for new equipment. These tables are generally in good condition, especially if they were located in a pool hall that holds a lot of pool league matches and tournaments, where the condition of the tables can influence matches. Another good source for buying used pool tables is right after professional pool tournaments. Many times, pool table manufacturers will provide pool tables for these pro tournaments that are only used during the event. After the tournament has concluded, these tables must be sold as used, which presents the buyer with the opportunity to buy top of the line equipment at a discounted price. When buying used pool tables, it’s important to check a few things before the purchase. First, you’ll want to inspect the condition of the slate that is under the cloth. The cloth will have to be removed for you to do so, but most understanding sellers will know this. You need to be sure that there are no chips or defects in the slate, which will affect the playability of the table. Also, inspect the condition of the rails. Make sure that they are not bumpy or crooked. If they are, they will have to be replaced, a factor that you will need to consider when tallying your budget. Finally, make sure that you are not buying a coin operated table. These tables are designed to be used with a heavier than normal cue ball, which the table returns automatically if pocketed. Regular balls will stay in the pockets until a new game is paid for, making these kinds of tables impractical for the home.
