Relatively unbiased and quite informative. They of course appreciate the quality of certain brands of well-made tables but decline to handle them for the particular business reasons stated on their page.

When I first started reading their webpage introduction, I thought there may indeed be some good/valuable information to be gleaned from folks that have "worked on" each of the tables they are about to "review". I was disappointed to say the least.

First of all, they offered almost zero DETAILED information one would expect from a place that says they have worked on these tables. Zero information that RKC or Mark would be able to offer up regarding things they say they know. Why waste the web data? Superficial information based on opinions only.

As for market pricing - and to say (for one example) that any USED, post-2000 Brunswick is worth "little to no value at all" and actually say a price of 5-600 for any model is the best one should expect is simply absurd. Almost no value compared to what? Buying a new one for $5000. Really. This is simply the opinion of one man/small firm that thinks because they work on tables that they are to have a voice on the market values of pool tables.

Extremely biased on values and almost no value on anything potential table buyers can take away and use when deciding what a table is worth or even the quality of any of a table's components. IMO.

There are many true "experts" out there regarding table quality and opinions - and these guys aren't part of that group - from what they publish on their webpages that is. IMO of course.

Agreed - anyone who thinks this is valuable information is more than welcome to sell me their home Diamond tables for the $200-500 value that they list.

Yeah, the more I read the more I found the article useless. I am looking for one of those $1500.00 commercial Diamonds right now. Also the line about the GCI, II and IIIs being a step below the IV and V. Most seem to agree that the Is and IIs are the best GCs, although I really like the pockets on the Vs.
