Sardo Racks?

[Cue Crazy]

This is more of a question, but this seemed like the best place to ask. I have heard of one of these racks for sale in new condition from someone We know, but not sure which model It Is yet or how much It's worth. I haven't seen It yet, but I think It's an older model. I do know that It comes with a black plastic case If that helps identify It. Can anyone give me a value of the different model #'s? I see the new ones can be had for around 50 bucks depending on where you buy, but curious about the other models. Any help would be apprieitated.

Thanks Greg

Hey Greg,
I herd Bob say he had it for about Two years more or less. He also said he only used it once or twice. He's got it on the counter with a for sale post-it note attached. I think I would buy it if I had a table at the house, just for shits and grins. I think you can buy a new on for around Sixtyish?
You maybe could talk him down in price, I think it's very possable.
Not many people in this town looking to buy a Sardo rack.

My friend has one and it rest under the table in the black plastic box cause it is hard to use, aggravating and heavier on a bad back than the factory Diamond rack that hangs on the light and works great. One of the rooms I play in has one to rack for a break and run contest and it is only seen at that time, I am sure that if you mark the back corners right and get the rack square the balls will be tight and won't be crooked as far as side to side which helps. My friend payed a hundred three or four years ago for it and I have a Diamond pro he let me have and I turned down taken the rack home with me because it ain't handy, hope this gives you some help.

Yeah Pops was asking me If I thought he should Buy It from Bobby, and I was pretty much like "why do You need that thing" LOL. I've been sick as I guess You know already, things picked up again, and busy with repair, so that's taken every bit of energy I could muster up (always happens when I'm hurting like that) He's been doing all the running, and I have'nt been out much, so I have'nt been over there to see It yet. I may play league tommorow if I feel any better, but I haven't played a lick in close to a month now.

He does'nt really need It, I think He was thinking resale or for kicks as you say, if it was a deal, but I thought it sounded priced about right anyhow, and altough that sounded alright and all, for the money there's probably better places to spend It.

Thanks for the info leonard, I'm more of a standard rack guy Myself too, as long as someone does'nt keep racking Me slugs. Really if there was any appeal, It would be for more consistent racks, but not if It's more trouble then It's worth, and My back's sure not what It use to Be . A couple of hours stretched over a table breaking & playing, and I find that out.

TY, Greg

Greg;

Just a little follow up for you. The older model didn't work real well and was not easy. The 5000, which is the new one, works very good for what it is intended and is not heavy. The Sardo racks only work when the table is set up to use them, and then kept that way. Home use, or on new cloth at your favorite room are the only place one would be of value. To take one to a match on a different table would not give you good results. It wouldn't do, what your last post indicates you wanted it to do. Don't waste your money unless you use it on your own table.

Good Luck

Mike

Thanks Mike,

Yep, Our table at home does'nt see much use anymore, except to sometimes test hit a cue after completion or repair, sometimes My Dad lets My daughter knock a few around trying to teach her on It. He was thinking about taking It to matches possibly, but when I was researching these I did see where the table needs to be marked out for them or something like that. I already figured teaching others to use It may be a pain, but guess I may have assumed that altough I would'nt get good results lining it up, that they may be about the same as a standard rack in that way. Thanks for clearing that up, as I would'nt want to make a bad assumption there. I think I pretty much convinced him that It was'nt feasable before making this post, just wanted to make sure I was'nt letting him pass up a good deal, in case I was wrong about that, but mainly about the resale value. I did notice the only ones quick to sell on here were the 5000 models, and I can remember the higher retail cost of the older ones when new, but if they were'nt sought after now days then I figured there was a reason, and probably not a good investment.

Thanks for the info, definatly helps makes letting him pass It up alittle easier. Greg
