Diamond black label value?

Ballpark guess is around 3-3,500bux. Nice table. I'd rather have this than a PA. Only drawback is this is same as a red label so it will bank a tad shorter than a newer blue label. You can have the subrails redone to be just like newer models. Subrail work and new rubber will run around 2grand.
Interesting, I’ve had this table for a few years and never noticed it banking short like a red label. Perhaps someone who had it before me already dealt with that issue?
No clue. To redo the subrail isn't super common. The difference isn't a big deal. Well, to some with DDS(DiamondDerangementSyndrome) its a life-n-death issue.
We have two old red label Pros where i play and i think they play fine.Are you certain about this? I had heard the black label was the same as a blue label.
Never mind I went back and looked and I was remembering wrong.

Just out of curiosity, where are you located. I know all these old Black Labels look the same, but that looks very very similar to the one I sold (divorce) about ten years ago in Middletown, Ohio. It came out of a pool hall in Columbus a few years before I bought it around '08. I did have the subrails redone and that thing played great.

Black label is the same as Red label. 100%. Zero value difference to a Red.
I'd put the value about 1500-2000 if you actually want to sell it and not sit on a listing for 5 years. It's a Professional with solid wood oak top, with a lot of dings in the top.
For what it's worth, I sold mine for $2300. But a good friend of mine owns Absolute Billiards in Dayton, Ohio and he introduced me to a guy that reached out to him looking for a used Diamond. I knew it was going to run around $700 for the tear down, move, and setup at the dude's house so that put him right at $3k for everything.
Like a poster eluded to before, its value is very dependent on how long someone is willing to sit on it. Used nine foot Diamonds aren't the easiest thing in the world to sell because there aren't a lot of people with enough space for one. And the majority of people who want a pool table aren't looking for much more than a piece of furniture to occasionally play pool on. So they end up going to some spa or rec store and buying a relatively cheap but pretty table.
new ones are 10G's+ so 3G's would be a pretty good buy. They're built like tanks with solid wood frames like on a GC. The owner of the place i play at sold a few of these over 10yrs ago for around $3,000 back then. The Pro's don't come up for sale that often.
You can't buy a new Red label, but I'd say less than 3G's would be acceptable, but I'd be buying a blue top for it.
It appears you are slightly over cutting the deuce.
You cant cheat the Diamond pilgrim...Diamond got its own ways.
