Search for the right table at the right time--which can be a significant task in itself. Check newspaper classifieds daily. Websites such as Craigslist and eBay usually offer lots of choices for purchasing used goods. Buying local, on a site such as Craigslist, offers the advantage of seeing the pool table in person before purchasing.

Buy your used pool table. Once you have done your research and have your home ready, you can purchase your used pool table. If you buy locally from Craigslist, you will need a truck to go pick up the table. Doing so will save money on shipping.

Tips & Warnings
It's important to buy at the right time. Finding a seller who needs to get rid of his table in a hurry will generally allow you to negotiate the best deal. Consult friends and family as well. You may have a friend moving for a new job who will offer you a discounted price. You probably need help getting it out of the seller's place and into your place as well, and may want to hire a professional mover to pick it up. It's a big purchase and you do not want to break it transporting it from one place to another.
