Selling a table is the easier of the two 🙂
However there are still things to consider: preparing the table for sale, and listing the table.
- Thoroughly clean the table
- Clean the balls
- Determine the right size of the table (3.5 x 7, 4 x 8, 4.5 x 9 etc.)
- Who is the manufacturer of the table
- How thick is the slate
- What are you including with the table
- Take photos of the table from multiple angles and with lots of lighting. Make sure any damage is disclosed.
- List the table on as many sources as possible. kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, billiard groups, etc.
