Thoughts on this used foldable table? (1 Viewer)

[ngmcs8203]

Saw this one for sale ($200). Looks like the vinyl needs replacing, the sagging fixed and the edge underneath the padding replaced. Cup holders would be replaced a topper bought. I don’t think $200 is the right price for it considering how much work is needed.

At this point I’d probably just build one myself.

Right? I thought maybe if it was $50. I am picking up a brand new ESPN table this week for less than this table. If I got this one for $50 I'm still not sure this table would be worth it.

$200 is overpriced on that table. You can get a new Barrington or ESPN Barrington for $299. I see Barringtons used on Facebook marketplace in decent condition for 150 to 200 occasionally. I would pass on that table.

 

[ngmcs8203]

It's a FatCat, yea even for a $350, one in such poor condition is barely worth $50-100.

From what I see here, all that is really worthwhile on that is the folding leg kit. Not worth 200

 

[allforcharity]

$50 maybe

 

[ngmcs8203]

Yea. I don’t even know if $50 is low enough with the amount of time that it would take to repair it. Especially since I’m not a craftsman like some on here.

Agree - $200 is way too much and $50 for a headache - meh.

Even at $50, By the time you buy all the replacement materials, you’re at the price point for a pretty decent new one.

Yea. I figure $250 for all the stuff to fix it up nice and at that point it wouldn’t be worth it. Wait for a deal on a barrington and it’s about the same minus the repair time.

A new Barrington is like 269 on amazon. I wouldn't touch that a-tall.

Yep. Which still needs a felt or topper and at minimum cup holders.

You think it would still need the topper and cupholders after the 269? Not according to this.

Plus, you get to look cool like this guy...

No Mr. Bond, I expect you to fold...

 

[ngmcs8203]

I mean on this forum, yes. There’s a long thread on the topic that spans a few years. The cup holders for sure aren’t deep enough. The felt is bad after a while so most replace it with speedcloth or a custom topper.

That is the only reason I’d buy it

Agreed. The problem with your original pic is I don't think that table looks very strong. You could build your own on plywood, for not much more, depending on what you're looking to spend.

You’re over estimating my access to wood cutting tools and the ability to cut in consistently straight lines without the help of a computer!

 

[BGinGA]

Barely worth $20, tbh. Not easily repairable due to construction design, and will easily take more in materials and labor to fix than a new table will cost.

Keep watching FB marketplace and other online stuff. Somebody will try to sell a much better table.

Yep. I have a line on a brand new ESPN for $150. Should have it Wednesday. I am keeping my eye out for a second one.
