Well at first glance, it looks like Bill misrepresented the table as a great table, without ever having touched the table, in an effort to middle the deal and make a score. So that puts him on the hook for a bad deal all around. That said, until hearing Bill's side of the story, I would not be so quick to judge him. Reading Bill's posts here and on onepocket.org over the last 15 years, I'm certain he will be along to tell his side of the story
As far as people paying 15k or 20k for these tables, I personally think that is make-believe. They are listed that way on the Blatt and similar sites for years, but I wonder if they actually sell-though.
The biggest take away from this in my eyes, is don't buy anything old as F like this table, without inspecting it in person.
I'd also say whoever made the poster, must be a pool player, for them to know the woods and that 6 legs are more rare than 4. I doubt a realtor would know anything about tables except the cloth should be red So, I'd like to know who made that poster and who originally claimed it was beautifully restored.
To the OP, did you get pictures of the damage by any chance? When you say the rails were split for example, is that something a banger realtor would have seen? I know a true player would of course, but would the damage you saw jump out at a lay person?
