FS/FT- Brunswick Anniversary 9 FT. Table

kvinbrwr said:
Gosh.

People get to price their stuff at the price they want to sell their stuff for. My guess would be that Monte has priced the table at a price he'd rather keep it at if he can't achieve it. I really think that's Monte's right. Myself, I auction stuff off and generally achieve what price an item will go for in those conditions in a week. I would never take it upon myself to tell another seller that he has to price his stuff that way, or price it at a price it will sell for in a month, or two months. Its not my business.

I thought we had a forum understanding about pricing. Think a guy is asking too much? Offer him less in a PM and if you can't get together move on to something you feel is priced right. I think its considered rude and bad form to comment on another members pricing regardless of how much of an expert one considers himself. Has this changed?

As far as the pricing of this table. What's a new Gold Crown cost? I think Monte might be looking to find a buyer, that's sees, like he does, the value in a completely playable old classic. Guys are willing to pay WAY more of a nice 1957 T-Bird than they would for a brand new one, even though the brand new car would outperform the old one in every way (other than looks). The advantage to this table over the car in this example is the table plays every bit as good as the new Gold Crown, maybe better.

Thanks

PS Give me that Strat and lets set a new eBay world record.

I guess you missed the understanding of my post:rolleyes: never once did I say he should lower the price...did I?...What I DID say...was that instead of continuing to bump his thread...he's have better luck...reposting his thread...maybe with new pictures...or even the old ones...so that it appears more like a new sale offer...instead of beating down the same dead horse...but...I guess that just flew right over your head:rolleyes:

Thanks for the correction. You are right I just don't have the faculties to grasp your deep meanings, when you said:

"So, I'd think that either (a) you're asking more than anyone's willing to pay...or (b) I'd think about changing the horse you've road to death with no results as of yet...(15 months) to another venue like Craig's list or something else...other pool forums maybe?

Diamond has sold well over 1,000 tables since you first posted this table for sale...so I don't really think the economy has all that much to do with the lack of sale of your table, though nice as it may be...people are just not that much into buying things over priced any more today...which is another reason why banks are sitting on so many forclosures...over priced is just to hard to sell anymore"

I thought you were rendering your opinion on Monte's table's pricing but clearly I was just not capable of understanding you.

Thanks again

Keep the rack. Throw in that Strat and have the table delivered and set up by Ernesto and Oscar (the best table mechanics in the business) and I'm an owner.

Back on track.

I've played on this beauty and it is an original and beautiful example of what many consider the finest table Brunswick ever built. The set up is modern and the play is flawless. It is really the best of both worlds and if I was considering shelling out that kind of money for e newer commercial looking Brunswick or Diamond I might seriously consider this beauty instead.

Thanks again

Everyone's intitled to their opinion, but someone that don't know the difference between what's right, or what's wrong...they can be easily impressed;)

FYI...I don't care what someone's asking for the price of a table if they're looking to sell it....as I really don't care about that end of it....because how much someone pays for a table....is between the seller and buyer and has nothing to do what I'm going to charge them to make the table play right...if I'm asked to after the fact;)

So, I guess we can just leave this right where it's at...unless you want to continue on;)

Glen, are you saying Ernesto and Oscar do a mediocre job? What's "wrong" with the way they do tables in your opinion?
I've had 8 different table mechanics set up tables for me over the years. Ernesto and Oscar were the very best by a long shot. My Anniversary they set up is the best playing table I've ever played on. They are also really humble guys. hmmmmm.

I've never said they didn't do good work, but that don't make the work they do great...as there's a big difference. I've rebuilt rails already rebuilt by Ernesto, but he's never came behind me and rebuilt rails that I've already done...so I do know a little something about the work they do...as I have an insight that no one else does when it comes to this kind of profession;)...I'm not knocking their work...or anyone elses for that matter, I'm just on a different level than everyone else is...that's all.

Wow dude. That looks like a knock on the other guy's work, to me.

I've seen the table and IMO it's UNDER PRICED! I think Monte should have come in at $9,500 and accepted $7,500! :thumbup:

Thanks Mike. Mike, is that a real picture of the shark and kayaker? I've seen that picture a bunch. I live in LA and we've actually had few Great Whites jumping out of the water at a local surf spot! A lot of activity with sharks lately.
 
Do you know which Artemis Rubber was installed? Sorry if someone has asked this already? I didnt read the entire post. Is it Pool #66 or Intercontinental 66? I love these tables.

Good question. I have no idea. I left that up to Ernesto. I'll find out.

Haven't been in contact with Ernesto yet. Does anyone know what he uses. What ever it is, it's phenomenal! Best playing table I've played on in my 20 years.
