    Butch -

    We got our pool table several years ago. Although I don't play it much, I would miss it if it left. It gets used more when we have parties, but I still like to run a rack every now and then

    On a side note, I am not far from you, so if you need to "store" anything instead of letting it go, let me know. I have references from others who have games in my basement. Not $100 games either.

    It is an option

    Quoted from gweempose:

    I've been thinking about getting rid of my ping ping table and getting a pool table. I love pool!

    You could always get a ping pong top for the pool table! Problem solved

    My pool table was $2800. That might buy 1 nice pin. I don't regret it ever. I can barely afford pinball prices, so if I sold the pool table I wouldn't be able to afford to put anything in it's place anyway

    Quoted from MustangPaul:

    Real gutsy having a tv by the end of the table there. I hope you break the other direction.

    LOL, that TV is a really old CRT. Just waiting for the township to have an electronics recycling day and it's out of here

    It was replaced with a 40" plasma that I got for free!

    Quoted from Cheeks:

    Totally agree, but my comment was in response to someone saying they bought a $2800 pool table and they could sell it and use the money to get 2 decent pins. Most used pool tables are worth next to nothing, so once you buy it you need to understand you won't be able to sell it to fund much of anything else.

    That was me, and I don't think I was saying that at all. For the prices what they are now, you would be hard pressed to buy more than one newer Bally/Williams title for $2800. I don't expect to sell my pool table to finance pinball machines. I was just saying that the space that the table takes up could not be re-filled with pinball for what prices are today and my bank account.

    6 or 7 years ago, maybe. That is when we got the table, so it was an option then and it was a conscious decision to get the pool table instead . I could not replace my games now for anywhere near what I got them for back in the day.
