Same as Manning. That's the usual street price with no extras.
Buying Diamonds at tournament's

I assume that’s a seven footer and not a nine footer?
Had to be.
No that was a nine footer. There are no seven footers in tournament use at DCC, but like I said this was not a current year quote. It was at least two years ago.
The firm quote from Aaron at Diamond for tables from Turning Stone a few months back was $7600 for a tournament used Diamond and $1,300 for the light.
I'm 30 minutes from Turning Stone and needed delivery to my garage level to driveway with a 16 foot door. They still needed $300 delivered.
I was a buyer, but you can't even budge $300 on a $9200 sale?
I called the man I dealt with to get tables for my pool hall. I still paid $6300 for a 9 foot PRC black Diamond delivered from 5 hours away and setup. I bought a Littman LED light for $1000 delivered cross country.
New prices on Diamonds are $8000 for the table, plus $1500 for the light, plus tax and delivery. That's insane.
I was buying used tables through my contact for $5500 with light 3+4 years ago and scored 2 with upgraded led lights for 4k each on my own from NYC.

When the prices jumped i contacted D'mond. Was told that they kept prices in check as long as they could. When covid hit everything went up pretty much at the same time. Materials, shipping, insurance, you name it. It may be 'insane' but D'mond is FAR from the only co. that raised prices in the last couple yrs. Didn't hurt them any as people are lined-up to buy them even with the waiting list.
I make it a habit to not overpay.
If everybody pays 30% more cause of a lab tweaked cold virus, that would be pretty silly (but it's happening).
Please explain to me how you are overpaying if the going rate is what it is? You make it sound like Diamond is charging everyone $5K then sticking it to you exclusively with an inflated price. You can't expect the price from years ago to apply to today. Costs go up so prices go up. Simple economics/business practices.
FFS!
I prefer to see Diamond get their price and stay in business. From the time I started looking until I pushed the button it went up $2500. Way it goes. Buy or don’t buy. I’m happy with my choice.You had to go there. I would have bet the ranch on it. They only raised prices because factors beyond their control forced them to. What are they supposed to do, sell at a loss?? Seeing how they can't make them fast enough maybe they were under-priced.
Well maybe I am wrong but our Room we’re I live had 29 Gold Crowns, 25 4.5 x 9.0 Pocket Billiards tables. Four 5.0 x 10.0’s, Two Snooker, Two 3C’s.
Sold 10 or so GoldCrown for Diamonds.
Price was $250.00 for used table, and they sold fast.
I personal think those who got CHESP Gold Crown score well.

250 is a giveaway price. stupid to sell them that cheap.
Yeah, if they were playing so good to score a deal on them, why did they need replacing in the first place?
So for $250 you think they played like new for everyone that scored buying them? Worn out pool tables don't have much value, unless you sink money into them afterwards to bring them back to life!!!
Even at $250, that's a score if you want to restore one. You can put $2,500 into it and have a top notch table. It's exactly what I did but my price of entry was $400.
I'm not a table flipper, so I passed on the chance to pick up 6 GC3s for $2,000! For the amount of labor and costs to fix them up right, trying to get my investment back by selling them to people looking for the CHEAP deals, I'd never get my time and money invested back, so why bother??!!
