A table built in the 70’s was built with materials from that era, such as plywood and particle board with a laminate or veneer overlay, I wouldn’t describe most of them as a piece of furniture. I don’t want to put too much emphasis on the age of the pool table, other than to point out that tastes change. Obviously, each used table should be evaluated on a table by table basis, following the 6 steps found in this article. Some other common import brands include Brunswick, Spencer Marston, American Heritage, American Heirloom, American Billiard Company, Plank and Hide and Presidential. If there aren’t any brand markings on the table, there is a good chance it is an import table. Some common one piece brands are Fischer, Western Billiard, Hausermann and about half the Delmo tables. They have commercial value and so they are worth more than a home model single piece slate table.
The exception to this would be a coin-operated table, like a Valley.

Because of the difficulty in moving a single piece slate, most people don’t want to buy one, in fact I can’t count the number of free single piece slate tables that I have been offered over the years. There are some brands that are usually single piece slate tables, they usually sell for significantly less than a 3 piece slate table. I won’t take the time here to give my opinion of each brand, you can read this article for my ranking of pool table brands. Some of the more recognizable brands that tend to sell at a premium on the used market are Brunswick, Olhausen, Golden West and Connelly. There are some brands of pool tables that command a higher price on the used market, not always deserved, but name recognition does influence what people are willing to pay. If the customer can’t see the difference between a low-cost import and an American built table, they certainly aren’t going to pay the difference, and import tables are improving in quality year after year. Because of the flood of low-cost import tables on the market, that number is more like a quarter to a third of the new table price. Once upon a time, you could say a table was worth half of what it cost new.
#USED VALLEY POOL TABLE PRICES PROFESSIONAL#
When you calculate in the cost of hiring a professional mover and possibly replacing cloth or cushions, the total price may approach $2000, and if they wanted to spend a couple thousand dollars, there are many new table options that they could go with. There is a price threshold that the used market is willing to pay, usually around $1500 at the high end, $700-1000 is about the average price range.
On the used market, these tables usually aren’t separated by more than a couple hundred dollars.
It doesn’t matter much if you spent $5000 on your pool table or $2000, or even if you bought yours used for $800. The value of a used pool table has much more to do with what the used market is willing to pay, rather than what the table might actually be worth. This includes the brand of pool table, the age of the pool table, the time of year, the competition and the used market in general, which is where I will start. One of the most common questions I am asked is “What do you think my pool table is worth?” Unfortunately there isn’t a used table price guide to easily reference, but rather a set of guidelines to adhere to that will give you a ballpark idea. I have bought and sold hundreds of used pool tables over the last 15 years, and have moved thousands more.
