compared to any other table. as long as rails play consistent and true, and are "live" then the table plays well.
Gold Crown III Price
Cheessehead,
I wouldn't venture a guess as to what your table might sell for, but I do have a thought on your situation.
No doubt your table plays really nice. If you're serious about selling, though, you might take a beating due to the considerable amount of money you put into the top end. Most potential buyers will not understand the value of the work you have done on your table and therefore, will be unwilling to compensate you for it.
Just a thought, here, but you might do better cashwise by trading rails or entire top ends with another GCIII owner. You might get enough money to boot on the trade to get all your top end investment back. And, some lucky guy would get an RKC rail system with no waiting or hassle. At that point, you could compete price-wise with other non-custom GC's on the market.
Also, you would greatly increase your pool of potential buyers. Unlike an entire table, the rails, castings, and feet can be shipped anywhere for a reasonable sum.
Again, that's just a thought. But it's something that I personally would be interested in doing.

Gold Crown 1 and 2 are very similar. Gold Crown 3 is completely different. Gold Crown 1 has pure AL pocket castings. GC2 and 3 have zinc alloy castings. GC1 and 2 have 3/4" finish grade plywood stretchers and finish grade plywood on the feet assemblies. They finish much nicer. GC 3 has 1/2" crappy stretchers with a veneer glued on. GC3 is more flimsy. GC1 and 2 weigh much more that the 3. Weight is important. GC1 has figure 8 rail inserts for attaching the rail to the slate. GC2 has inserts inside the rail and the rails are much lighter. Plus, I like the formica patterns on the GC1 the most. I feel that the GC1 and 2 are much better pieces. But an early GC1 is the best. Also, very early GC1 does not have adjustable foot levelers but can be retrofitted with relative ease. GC3 has been value engineered and cheapened to be competitive in price. If you don't mind buy a GC3 but they should be half the price of a GC1 or 2.
