Pool Table Buying/Moving Experiences?

Hi All,

I'm just in the market to buy a pool table probably second hand from gumtree and just want peoples experiences and any recommendation on removalist they used (NSW)?

So far:
- Slate is a must most prefer 3 piece but that makes the cost even more
- 8ft is most common
- Check for cracks on slate.
- I think last I got quoted shipping can be 900~ depending on size and location.
- Check if legs/table is balanced

My other option I'm thinking is buying brand new from one of these guys and checking out their showroom alltablesports or K-Sports, the former interests me since some of them have a table top so I could double up as a board game table.

  • When I bought a second hand pool table from a place that did arcade machines - they delivered it to me for $150.

    The slate top comes right off if you get 3 or more people to pick it up. It's heavy as.

    The base doesn't weight that much.

    When I sold it 4 guys came and took it away in a ute.

    However my place was an in and out driveway no steps.

    If you have steps it's difficult because 4 people need to fit.

    • I can imagine it would be! How much was your pool table can I ask?
      If I do DIY move it I'd probably hire a ute from GoGet and use moving blankets etc, just worried about cracking the slate while moving it.

  • Back then 2nd hand Jim Beam one was around $400 straight out of a pub with coin mech disabled.
