FS/FT- Brunswick Anniversary 9 FT. Table
- Thread starter atthecat
- Start date
You're about to have a baby and you're bumping your thread from the maternity ward. That's Priceless!!!
Congratulations, that is wonderful news!!!:dance::happydance:
I know what you mean, what to do with all that nervous energy. So how did everything go? Hope both your wife and baby girl are doing well.
Does that "All original"...cover the cushions & pockets as well?:wink:
Yeah, everyone was playing on 860 and 4 inch pockets in 1955. Perfect for straight pool! LOL
After 15 months of trying to sell this table here on AZ...that everyone that's ever been on AZ has seen your "for sale" and passed on it. So, I'd think that either (a) you're asking more than anyone's willing to pay...or (b) I'd think about changing the horse you've road to death with no results as of yet...(15 months) to another venue like Craig's list or something else...other pool forums maybe?
Diamond has sold well over 1,000 tables since you first posted this table for sale...so I don't really think the economy has all that much to do with the lack of sale of your table, though nice as it may be...people are just not that much into buying things over priced any more today...which is another reason why banks are sitting on so many forclosures...over priced is just to hard to sell anymore

Good luck with your new addition to the family. Hope all goes well for the baby and Momma.
Congrats!

So is 15 months the time limit on the forum policy of not commenting when we feel a member's price is too high?
Thanks

The Wolverines will break your heart. You know that. Its a constant. Don't fall in the same trap we have fallen into year after year for so many years.
Go Blue! (couldn't help myself look what you have started)

I think Glen wants me to take my 1958 Fender Stratocaster to the Pawn Star guys and get $1500 for it. Really Glen, my mint Anniversary is not worth 6K and a Diamond is? I'm not trying to knock Diamond Tables because they're great, I just like old cues, old music and old tables.After 15 months of trying to sell this table here on AZ...that everyone that's ever been on AZ has seen your "for sale" and passed on it.

Obviously I'm in no hurry to sell. I still enjoy playing on the table and want to get a fair price for it. It's the most cherry non-restored Anniversary I've ever seen on this site. It's all original except for the rubber and cloth.
IMO, this table as well as the Centennials are pieces of art that are built like tanks and play as well as any table ever made. Sorry you don't see that Glen.

Well then....let me help you understand something that maybe you didn't think about...when selling something like your pool table here on AZ....the LONGER you keep bumping it up...the more views it gets....like over 11,000 views already....the LESS likely you are to sell it....because when so MANY people have viewed this thread....and the table is STILL for sale....15 months later...people start questioning why someone ELSE hasn't already bought this table....since it's such a great deal and everything
Then you've made mistakes like offering it a new LOWER price...which whether you realize it or not...was higher than your opening price...the you start offering all kinds of things to go along with the sale....etc...
So... here's a little free education for you...and the person that questioned a time limit on how long something should be for sale
You'd have better luck selling your table if you let this thread die...off into the dust...for say 90-120 days...then starting a NEW thread...for NEW readers....instead of showing NEW readers...how LONG you've been trying to sell this table...and haven't sold it yet....so it must be OVER priced...which is WHY it hasn't sold yet...because by continuously bumping this thread...that is exactly what you're really saying...to a new reader.
I don't think you have to tell me what the table is worth...because as you already know....working on pool tables is my job
....and that has nothing to do with Diamond...as I've been a top table mechanic for lets say....oh...the last 27 years or soJust think about what I said...and I think you'll agree with me..if not, wish you the best of luck....as I most likely don't know what I'm talking about

This would have been an excellent PM.
Good luck with your sale, Monte. And congrats again on your new addition to the family.
Dave
Gosh.
People get to price their stuff at the price they want to sell their stuff for. My guess would be that Monte has priced the table at a price he'd rather keep it at if he can't achieve it. I really think that's Monte's right. Myself, I auction stuff off and generally achieve what price an item will go for in those conditions in a week. I would never take it upon myself to tell another seller that he has to price his stuff that way, or price it at a price it will sell for in a month, or two months. Its not my business.
I thought we had a forum understanding about pricing. Think a guy is asking too much? Offer him less in a PM and if you can't get together move on to something you feel is priced right. I think its considered rude and bad form to comment on another members pricing regardless of how much of an expert one considers himself. Has this changed?
As far as the pricing of this table. What's a new Gold Crown cost? I think Monte might be looking to find a buyer, that's sees, like he does, the value in a completely playable old classic. Guys are willing to pay WAY more of a nice 1957 T-Bird than they would for a brand new one, even though the brand new car would outperform the old one in every way (other than looks). The advantage to this table over the car in this example is the table plays every bit as good as the new Gold Crown, maybe better.
Thanks

PS Give me that Strat and lets set a new eBay world record.
