So when we moved into the house 6 years ago I found a great deal on an olhausen for 500$ and got the table setup and refelted for 300$

when i moved the table I had to split the sides into two L shapes and when i Put it back together I used glue because I was worried about it not being strong enough. So I’m worried if I try to split it again it will turn out bad.

I enjoy the way the table plays although Id like a table that plays tougher, maybe get a valley with those ridge back rails or look into diamond or just take the table with me to the new house..

Your’re asking, so here’s my view. You’re ready for an upgrade. Get a nicer table. Plenty of threads on choices & prefs. Good luck!
 
If you glued two corners, and can figure out which, presumably you can split at the other two corners this time...

I'd say take it with you unless you want a new table badly enough to replace it anyway.

But if you're selling the house, you could see if the buyer will give you something for it.

I guess it depends on who set it up. A skilled table mechanic can make it play very well. Quite a while back I played on a home version of an Olhousen I wouldn't have minded having. Of course it was an older model.

Yea, that’s a damn good idea about looking to see what corners I didn’t split. Thanks!

I'm moving in 2 weeks, out of state. I recently sold my Diamond 7 foot table, it was only 2 years old. Got a good price, numerous offers, plus, I don't have to move it and pay someone to take it apart, then ship it and find room on one of my PODS, hope nothing breaks, then put it back together, etc. etc.

And now that I'm going back to a 9 foot table, it made my decision much easier. I don't care what I play on in leagues, I want to play on a pool table in my own home and able to play all the games, not just a couple of them.

Now, the tough call comes, between 9 foot Diamond, 9 foot Anniversary (restored), AE Schmidt 9 foot "Regal" model (new). I like them all.

I've twice sold houses and left a table behind. Both times in a negotiated deal with buyer. Both times ended up with upgraded table and avoided the hassle of moving and set-up.

When I was buying and selling tables I can't tell you how many were in homes with new owners. They were usually just left behind and they wanted them out. The GC I currently have in my house I got years ago. The owner literally contacted me to ask what I would charge to remover it. I told them it would be $400.00 to break it down and transport it to a storage. When they told me they didn't even want it, I just gave them a few hundred and took it. They were so happy they didn't have to try to sell it and it was going to be gone that day. Very few people want someone eases pool table even for free if they don't play. A house with a pool table is not a selling point.

The new house I bought has a pool table. An Olhausen, 8 foot table. The owner asked my agent if I wanted to buy it. I said no, and i want it out of the house before we close. no questions asked. lol
 
I haven’t read all the replies
But I would leave the table for the next owner and buy yourself another one
 
Leave the table. I did that with a home Brunswick when I left CA. Get a better table in your new location-

On such a major purchase you could work in the cost of nearly anything new into your old home's asking price, and outfit yourself nicely for the new place without the purchaser having the slightest clue they paid for your upgrade.
