Is the Seller saying not due until installation complete in another communication? The ad says due on delivery but sounds like the Seller must have delivery and install covered with someone in some way(s). I'd still advise seeing if there is someone in the area you could have along when you take a look to evaluate it, but if the slates are good and it plays level and the cushions check out when you test it, I think you'd enjoy it very much. Still down to having someone you have confidence in help you check it out and give it a good test and perhaps install it (and maybe the person the Seller has in mind has a good rep but I'd agree with the above, could just be a non-mechanic friend).I am thinking of pulling the trigger on this:

Thoughts? Anything I should be weary of?
I will eventually change the cloth and rails later on.

Seller is offering $1,500 including delivery and installation. 3-piece slate.
I can also just purchase the table alone and have it installed by a reputable mechanic. But I'm not sure if that will reduce the price or not, I have to find out. Seller is saying payment is not due until installation is complete.

Well thanks for the reminder, I have a DVD around here somewhere from a 1st place finish. 
Yeah that figures to be my best form. So see if and where I have changed might be interesting as it's over 10 years old.

As I reviewed a recorded session ...I saw myself rushing the stroke. Was not holding the backswing. Managing the table was different story. I recored various lessons I took and a few games. Damn I need help

Don’t hold me to this, Mr D, because my eyesight is none too good these days, but I think that is the counterfeit Louis Vuitton balls in your photograph, dear chap. When they first appeared some unscrupulous folks were advertising the sets for $10k and no doubt stung many people. I was able to alert the respective collecting communities (billiard balls and LV) and the prices have now crashed down to the hundreds.
The original set by Aramith was housed in a luxury LV trunk (see below) and sold for an eye-watering $57,000 or thereabouts. I tried real hard to obtain a genuine set (without the trunk) for the Billiard Ball Museum, corresponding with Aramith and the CEO of Louis Vuitton in Paris but, alas, was ultimately unsuccessful.
Best wishes.

Okay my Cole story comes in the early Reno Sands event when I got the seat directly behind Efren's handlers. They carried 2 briefcases of money.
This must have been the first. They were booking bets in a thousand dollar amounts. Cole entered as the Efren vs Ed Kelly was coming up in race to 9. Cole waves and says, "a thousand that Ed gets to 7." They put heads together then reply, "for 1 thousand Ed must get 8. You bet 2 and Ed gets to 7." Cole left and returned with phone to ear and said, "Okay 2 thousand that Ed gets to 7." The nod of agreement. Ed was The Only player to get to 7 against Efren as he won the event.

Set ups run about $750 lately...Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Delivery is another story. $1500 total price...The installer is most likely banger grade.I am thinking of pulling the trigger on this:
