FOR SALE: Vintage V. Loria 9' Slate Championship Table for Sale/Denver, CO

P
After much consideration (and sadness), we've decided to sell my late father/grandfather's vintage pool table. 9 foot with slate (three pieces, I think?). Asking $2500 plus buyer pays for breakdown/moving costs, or will consider others. Photos and flyer with dimensions attached. LOTS of accessories: cues, two sets of Bavarian balls, brushes, racks, etc.). We think it's a re-branded Brunswick but haven't been able to confirm. Definitely came from V. Loria in the Bowery/NYC as its first home (my grandfather's/father's) was in northern Westchester befire migrating west. Please send me any questions/inquiries. Thanks so much! Jill

Are Junior players being set up for a tough life?

The one unfortunate thing though, and I have to say this just from my own experience with them. Pool players tend to not be the most honest people you've ever encountered. I tried going into business several times with pool players not for my benefit I don't need the money but to help them out. In each case I ended up getting screwed.
One particular player had a sideline of buying and selling used furniture and antiques and going to the flea market. I helped out by giving him a little bit of a line of credit with me so that if he found something good he could afford to buy it maybe sell it for pretty good profit. I asked for little more than my original money back, not even a percent of the profits.
This deal lasted, honest to God, one week and he lost the seed money at the dog track.
I think this commonly known nature of pool players is why people on here discourage young people from getting too deeply involved in, especially when it comes to the gambling aspect.

A tale as old as time.

Unfortunately nearly every attempt to help these folks ends this way. I feel like they coach each other in all the ways to come up short of success with these similar opportunities or perhaps there’s a handbook?
