A guide to discount pool tables

Discount pool tables are commonly available. Check local classified ads for clearance sales, closeout auctions for seized items from bankrupted businesses, and so on. You might be able to nab a brand new pool table for a fraction of its book value.

Discount pool tables are discounted for a number of reasons. Sometimes a model will no longer be produced, sometimes a table will be saturated, because it is an unpopular style, or dealer may bee trying to make money fast by cutting prices. You can buy these discounted tables from manufacturers or from third-party detailers.

Another place to buy discount pool tables is http://www.overstock.com. Go to this site and enter "pool tables" into the search field. Choose from the options. The "new" prices will appear crossed out, and below the offer price will appear. Sometimes the lowest price will be half of what the highest price. Shipping prices can be as little as a few dollars. For example, you can buy a solid ash 8-footer BCA, with a mahogany finish, 3 piece slate bed, and the ability to be disassembled and stored. The new price of this model is approximately five thousand dollars. The price is about two great overstock: a savings of $ 3,000, or 60% off the regular price. Shipping is ridiculously low $ 2.95.

No matter where you buy the cheap pool table, first decide what you're looking for. What size you need: 7, 8, or 9 feet? It depends on how much space you have. Want to come to the table a solid piece (sturdier), or in pieces (easier storage)? What kind of look you're going for: wood, vinyl, metal?

One last thing word of advice: always ask what does the warranty. Just because it is less expensive than full price, that does not mean you should go throw away hundreds or thousands of dollars on a cheap table....
