Well, I'm planning to get a table sometime around end of April/early May. I'll be placing it in the garage. I'm hoping to keep everything below $2,000 (table+delivery+set up). Any suggestions on which table to get? I would like to get a GC or a diamond, but I'm not sure I can get one with my budget. 2nd hand is fine. Or would it be better to buy a brand new lesser-known table? Also, would you know someone selling that table? Thanks.

Check with Gary out at Gary's Victor Billiards and see if they still have some tables for sale. I think one of theirs might get you close to your range.
here is a link to a thread about them.

I got my table off craigslist. There are alway many tables listed in my area. Maybe not GC or Diamonds, but usually Olhausen, Brunswick, Connelly, etc.
I ended up with a Connelly Sahuaro, delivered, set-up, and covered in Championship Valley Teflon Ultra (though I wish I went with Tour Edition or Simonis), for about $900.

Hey man, I'll tell you from my perspective.. I would go with a Diamond, no matter what it takes. That is, if you are a serious player, and are planning on getting deeper into the game, and competing against good players.
Take out a loan, and use all your winnings to pay off the table. Depending on if you have action in your area, if you plan things properly, you can pay off a Diamond table within a year. Just something to think about.

If you are set on a Diamond then you need to up your spending limit.
I see you are from LA so contact Steve ( tablemechanic on AZ) and let him know what you are looking for. He know of alot of tables already in
the SoCal region and might have an idea or two.
Last week there was a Gold Crown IV for sale in Chino... on Ebay

I know where a few GC IVs are but the guy wants 3k min for a table.
IMO you can find better than that but with a GC III.

I wouldn't settle for anything less than what you really want. It will be worth the extra money, since this is something you will have around for a long time (hopefully).
