Thoughts on value

Found a local 9 foot Diamond that appears to be an old red label. Woodwork needs refinishing which I can do ( I have lots of woodworking tools ). Owner says rails are in good condition with no dead spots. Asking $1500. What do you guys think?

I'm a solid player 575-600 Fargo and currently have a pro 8 Steepleton that needs new rails and cloth. Thinking if I"m going to recover a table it might as well be the Diamond.
 
You can see it's missing a chunk of wood in the corner but that doesn't really bother me. I might be able to replace it.

Went from a Valley bar table to this…sold the Valley for $1000 and bought the Diamond for $1500 if I remember right. Definitely worth the money…

The rails for sure are one piece, at least they are on my 8' Diamond blue label pro.
 
check the rubber!! try a 9 rail shot see how far it goes also try up and down the table. also try 3 rails to corner if it goes long rubber is very tired. My red label needed new rubber here recently. they are at Mark Gregory's right now getting the "blue" label treatment and new rubber.

how much is the "blue" label treatment?
 
Mark is doing mine for $2200 that is recutting rails, new rubber and tightening pockets as well as putting on the cloth for the rails.
 
I can play on red label and blue label Diamond nine footers with an hours drive from one pool room to another. All have 4 1/2 inch corner pockets.

There is some difference but not enough to make me pass on that table for that price. Buy it, enjoy it and get your buddies to a bring you beer for free pool!

Have fun!
