Balloon guy 158 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'm building a new house and have a poker/cigar room and had planned on getting a racetrack table with custom blah blah, and after playing on one I decided round is the only way to go when you pass the deal. This came with 8 chairs, and half my house is antiques. It will look much better to have an old table next to my jukebox and pinball machines in my cigar room.But shipping is $550, and I originally bid $750, then went to my regular poker game, and my wife got bidding fever. Man she would have spent $2500 had the other people kept bidding. Needless to say I lost at poker too.

I have a turd fergusonBut thanks I will print this and refer to it in order to post right wind propoganda. What's sad is I took computer programming in the 80's and had a 4.0 before I quit and went into heavy equipment to make the big money. Link to post Share on other sites

Teffy 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 that table looks fantastic! However, i prefer troughs for chips, as opposed to racks. Link to post Share on other sites

IQCrash 1 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Any woman who would spend that sort of money on a poker table for her man instead of a purse or shoes is a keeper. Give her lots of head.- Crash Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 That's a nice table. Too bad about the added struts, now they won't like it at Antique Roadshow. That being said, it's still very nice. Hey, the chairs are Bent Wood. They're famous! Link to post Share on other sites
AceJackOffS 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 nice table but honestly you paid to much. you can get very similar tables for much cheaper Link to post Share on other sites
Socrates 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 1. It s round2. It's too small3. You can get those old tables all over for a lot less4. Octagon - 5ft. is the way to go Link to post Share on other sites

schnoodle_C 0 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 For those of you saying he paid too much, you have to keep in mind that chairs (especially good ones) cost way more than the table. Very nice buy, very classy, congrats! Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Found out more info, the table was in an old gambling joint in Beumont Texas in the 50's and 60'. Right down the street from the Dixie Hotel (AKA Miss Rita's Whorehouse ) During the 60's the state mounted an aggresive cleanup of illegal gambling houses, which this club did. During Hurricane Rita, the club was destroyed.Now I get the table.Yes I could have gotten a cheesy brand new table for $400, or a nice custom one for $2500, then spent $1500 per chair. Then I would have no history, no character, and less money. I think I am ahead with this table. Link to post Share on other sites
HangukMiguk 8 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 that's a very nice table. methinks it could give the couch a run for its money. Link to post Share on other sites
