Just bought a GC4 (3 years old) off e-bay for $1,875, and it's right here in S. Cal. I think the market is soft for these tables right now, because the new GC5 is coming out soon. What do you think?

REgardless of whether the market is soft, you got a deal.
What's the difference in the GC5's?

I would love to have a GC IV double shimmed in my home. I may only leave to go out to spank some poor helpless pool player. :-)
 
i saw the GC5 at the BCA tradshow this year, it has a very retro look to it the pocket castings are totally different, they look old school, the skirts are nice too, its a big change from the 4 to the 5, not like the 3 to the 4.

The factory guy told me they are alot easier to work on when they are being moved, recovered etc.

Brunswick has their hands full with Diamond in the market now, and they answered with the GC5 in a big way, but I think diamond will win the race.

I have noticed the prices falling on GC4's too, with all the pool rooms going down etc, one pool room in Vegas is switching their gc3's to diamonds, The GC5's and Diamonds will be expensive, the rest are flooding the market,

Here's a pic of the GC V. There's a lot of metal on there...

$1,875 is an absolute steal for a GC4 in good condition! :eek: Forget about the 5 and enjoy your steal of a deal.
 
Sounds like a real nice buy Jay...did it come with the light fixture too? What general area is your new room gonna be?

I had to switch out the rubber on mine. Seems brunswick is using dirt as a filler in the superspeeds to save money. Had Pat Sheehan in Portland do it and he told me mine wasn't the first he had done.Still at that price you can't go wrong. Don

He pocketed a couple of G's. I think the table is really UGLY compared to your Gibson!

Ps. Just kidding - I bought his Gibson.
