You're an exception to the rule of most buyers of used, worn out GCs. Most buyers today want the best playing table their money can buy, only they want it on THEIR budget, NOT for what I invest into the table to get it into that playing condition! So all I could do is buy the tables, flip them for the delivery and set up money, bring them up to $1800-$2000 in sale value, because that's the limit of their budget, not worth my time!!
It is a lot of work and a lot of space to take up but for someone interested in a table that may be a "lifetime" table, buying an inexpensive Gold Crown that needs work and investing the time (if you have the skill) and money to restore it is a good way to go. Absolutely nothing wrong with a well sorted and setup Gold Crown.
GC3's may be not as well regarded by mechanics but i've played on a bunch that played great. My friend in Dallas bought a piano-black one after a women's tournament. Fantastic looking/playing table.
PLAY, is defined by all those club members going to that facility to play pool on those tables, who bitch and complain enough to the management about how terrible the tables are, and that they pay fees to that establishment for being there, so THEY, being the majority of members frequently using the facility, insisted the management do something about the tables they were tired of playing on, SO, with the members in mind, they bought NEW DIAMOND POOL TABLES!
Personally don't represent the majority who go in and play on those tables, and they have a different view of the GC3s that you had.

Yes, I can, but I was never called to see if I'd be interested in rebuilding those GC3s, and if so, would they have been willing to pay my price!Well Glen think your a guy who can make most tables play great.
That is your bread, and butter, right.
I have a pool room in Seattle with 25 Rebco 9fts in it. They've contacted me about recovering the tables, because they've let everyone in the area work on them already, so they know what's available to hire. But, they told me they have a $500 per table budget, Nd would like to get the tables fixed up right, not just replace the cost. I asked them what they expect me to do, I don't put band-aids on pool tables, and seeing how I'm very familiar with those tables, I asked them what they expected me to do with a $500 per table limit? I passed on the work, told the manager to pass the word to the owners, either buy new tables, or talked to me directly about all the repairs the tables need, and take the $500 per table limit off. At this time in my life, I don't really care if they stay in business or not, ut up NOT going to where myself out to NO one so they can profit off my work, unless the pay is right!!!Well Glen think your a guy who can make most tables play great.
That is your bread, and butter, right.
What's your definition of a "few" years ago?
30 percent in 2 years?
