There is an add for a Diamond table(s) nearby Raleigh NC on craigslist. I don't know too much about tables, and didn't see a model that matched the picture on the Diamond site.

Wanted to know everyone's opinion on if this looks legit. It's about an hour drive for me and debating whether it's worth the drive to check it out.

Sounds a little sketchy to me I mean description says they have ball reuturns and the picture obviously shows a table with drop pockets.
 
The table in the picture is definitely not a Diamond Professional. And the $1000 price is not for a Diamond Professional, either, unless it doesn't come with slate or rails. Then, it's still a little low. ;)

I don't remember what Diamond's other models may have looked like through the years, though. I guess there is a slim chance that it is a Diamond, but I doubt it.

Hopefully, Glen will be along shortly. :)

Nothing matches. The picture is of a home model table in a guy's house. The listing is of commercial Diamond table (multiple ones) from a pool hall.

I'd call the guy and ask whats up. There is a chance he knows nothing about computers and totally botched the listing.

If that's not what happened, it almost looks like a scam. But I just cant imagine how someone could get scammed on a pool table. Its either there or its not.
 
Very Questionable Ad...

The wording of this ad reads like it is written by someone who knows little (to nothing) about what they are advertising.
No Business Name... No Phone Number Or Contact Information... Wrong Photos... Doesn't Say How Many Tables Are Available???
What business closes and flies under the radar when trying to sell their stuff (before the rent comes due again)?
Personally I never trust (or respond) to CL ads that don't give contact information. Often they are just bait ads.

I'm close by to where this ad is located and will do some investigating as I'm curious myself (just in case it's legit and someone is really bad at placing ads).

I'll PM you if I can find out anything more than what's on CL.

That would be really helpful, thanks. I'm very close to that area myself (Apex NC), but I know squat about tables besides wanting one in that price range. Please let me know.
