Perhaps your best bet is to just call Trent and have him keep an eye out for you.

Hey everyone,
I just moved into my first home and am looking for a table.
I am narrowing it down to an 8x4 table with a budget of $2k-$3k.
So far, I have come across local spots that are selling American Heritage and Golden West tables in my budget. However, I'm wondering if I should try to find a used table on Craigslist.
One example is this table: https://cosprings.craigslist.org/spo/d/colorado-springs-pool-table/7156654607.html
I am in the Denver area and don't mind traveling for the best deal.
I'm aware that Diamond and Brunswick, among a few other notable brands, are likely my best options. Should I stick with one of the trusted companies? Should I look to buy used?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to knock down any walls.
The full room is 23'x13'6" so I am already stretching it with an 8' table.
It appears that the unanimous decision is to wait until a Gold Crown pops up, but I'm not sure how common 8' GC's are, especially in my area.
I stated that I am specifically looking for an 8' table in my initial post. Thanks for the tip - I will find a new house immediately after purchasing my first house.
The best tables can be found on "Offer Up" Good prices too.
To the OP. Your room is great for length, but width is a problem. Standard 7’, playing surface 40”x80”, leaves you two inch backstroke. There is a similar thread on the forum now. Poster used sawhorses and 2x4s, to mock table size. Might want to try it.
Okay, here you go. First of all you do need a regulation 8' table (44"x 88" playing surface), and even then you might want to invest in a couple of 52" house cues for the tightest shots. A nine footer would just be too big for that room's width. If you can find a used Brunswick Sport King or Medalist, that is a good second choice. Next up would be A.E. Schmidt or even a Gandy. There are many other good tables that were popular in the 8' size and you may get lucky and find one somewhere. In the Midwest we used to play on National Top Line and AMF tables, that were 8'. Either way, I would wait until you find a decent used table before buying a facsimile of a pool table. Who knows, an old Anniversary might pop up near you. Rebco made good tables out west and Global tables are okay as well. Murray commercial tables were another decent inexpensive table. Look for any of these names on used pool tables. One more possibility - Olhausen commercial table (made for poolrooms).
If you find something that looks good, don't hesitate to ask about it on here. Take pics if possible, of course. Good luck
P.S. You might want to consider a 7' bar table. You can probably get a Valley Cougar cheap, put on some Ridgeback rails and you've got a real pool table to play on. And you have enough room to enjoy it.
