Used table question

[gabulldawgs]

I'm looking for a nice used table for casual recreational play. One of the tables I'm considering is a used Connelly Coronado, seven years old, original cloth and cushions. I haven't seen it yet, it appears to be in excellent condition just based on the photos but obviously can't tell anything about the cushions and such from the pictures.

Is that a decent table for a home game room, occasional play? Anything in particular about that table I should be concerned about? What would be an approximate value on the table, assuming it to be in excellent condition and not in need of new felt or cushions?

Thanks.

I've been looking for a table for awhile. The biggest issue(s) are

Cushions, missing bolts, cracked frames/slate. Most of the time the owners of the table have no clue, at all, about condition and will still want "top dollar" for a table that needs cushions and cloth.

Moving/setup costs. Figure AT LEAST $300+ if the table is close to you. Much more if farther than 50 mi.

I had one guy (Conelly table, but a crappy low end model) tell me he thought the "dents" in the cushions were from breaks/playing. Well, in a sense, they were.

Assume ANY table advertised is "shot" until proven otherwise.

Two names to look for: Brunswick or Olhausen. If you have the cash, AE Shmidt.

NO Sams Club or Costco tables. Chinese garbage.

Most Olhausen/Brunswick tables in good, "playable" condition are going to be in the $750- $1500 range.

Have fun.

What model of used Brunswick tables are in the $1500 range ? Thanks

Olhausen is an better pool table.

We can easily purchase a Cushions, missing bolts and cracked frames from their service center.

If our pool table got some repair we can check by their professional staffs.

where do you live? what city..?

I have a great table & light. $1500

The light is pre-stained & can be coated to match the table... have to wait to see what a buyer wants.
