Should you buy a new or used pool table?

It's not as hard as buying a car, many dealers have lines of pool tables for sale. If you are buying a used pool table and just want to get a nice discount on the pool table you may want to buy a pool table that was installed new from a dealer recently or within the last 5 years, many used pool tables that are older have been moved several times and many pool table brands are not multiple move friendly meaning they have little problems develop each time they are moved. You also cannot tell if a pool table was moved by a professional pool table mover or someone who did not have experience, the latter can do a lot of damage to the pool table that can be hidden until it's been purchased and the cloth comes off.

One thing in the buyers favor at this time is the market is very soft in many areas of the US. The last decade has been good to pool table stores with home re-financing for game rooms skyrocketing. This is not the case now, prices for pool tables should be down by all sellers. If you are worried about quality you may want to stick with the top three brands, Brunswick, Olhausen and Connelly Billiards, this is only an option and we do not suggest making a decision based on this website.

The best thing about buying a used pool table is the fact that most of them were installed from a dealer and usually there is no damage or wear to a used pool table besides the felt wear. A pool table stays in good condition because it has no moving parts. One can really find some excellent deals on a used pool table if they have time and patience to do a little research about pool tables in advance. 

So take some time and look at a few used pool tables on the market today, compare to a few new pool tables in a retail store and decide whats right for you and your home. Hope this has helpt.
