I finally recently purchased a diamond table after wanting one for maybe 20 years or maybe the first time I played on one at sbx Whenever that was (im getting old lol) It amazes me how much they have increased in price. I bought it new for 2 reasons. 1) Once I decided to pull the trigger I’m not good at waiting for a used one to come a long lol 2) honestly your not saving that much money!
I paid $6750 and that included first floor delivery. I just saw diamond advertise on facebook they were leaving vegas. (I guess tournament season is done) and they are selling the tournament used table. these tables are the apa tables that have 4 3/4 inch pockets not the 4 1/4 pockets that I have on mine. They call them league cut pockets. So honestly it’s a valley with a diamond name on it lol not really. They still play better but still I want the tight pockets. THEY ARE ASKING $6000!! Why the hell would you pay that used!!
To give an example of how crazy the price has gone up a good friend of mine at the super billiards expo bought the used table, diamond light, got the wood rack and a set of super aramith pro’s delivered for $3500. That was most likely close to 15 years a go if my memory serves me correct. My best friend got a 9 footer bought and delivered from New York for I believe $3000 but that gentlemen was desperate to move it so he go it at a steal. I honestly don’t know of any modern tables holding their value like this. any other tables you can get used for pennies on the dollar And because of that I never thought I would buy a table New.
So the question if you don’t mind me asking gentlemen is when did you get your diamond and how much did you pay?
Just to add I’m not hating on diamond.. if people want to pay it that’s the market in a free market society it just amazes me is all.
