We had a client who wished to sell for offers around £500 ONLY ! and are happy to inform it sold within hour’s of the advert going live

SOLD to Mark within hour’s of going live on this web site

arranged for dismantle and delivery from GCL billiards , a complete service from table sourced , table dismantled loaded delivered and later date when ready set up .

Thank you for Ellis and his sister Naomi who used our web site to sell their Fathers table for the  house sale and to Mark who used it to source one , this web site works for sourcing tables of all sizes , if you have one for sale or you are looking for one , place an advert for sale or wanted on GCL Billiards Blog web site and get noticed by the snooker community .
We only charge an admin fee of £25 if the table is sold to our client looking for one , and this is to cover time on web site Emailing and phone calls .

if the table is not sold we charge nothing .

REMEMBER if it is not in the shop window nobody will know it is for sale ! and GCL billiards shop window is always being looked in

Our main aim with these adverts is to  quote for the  work of dismantle and transport of table to the new owner and if acceptable carry the work of removal and set up  , this is how GCL Billiards make their profit margin’s .
We have to earn money from our service’s rather than take a commission from the  sale of the table .
You are put in direct contact with buyer and seller , you negotiate a price and we will quote you for any work you may require getting the table moved and  installed in your property by a time served Billiards fitter with 40 years experience .

The table come’s with the ornate lighting and all accessories .

I know the Market is flooded with snooker tables from just 99p start price on ebay , but in my experience tables built as good as this one do not come along very often  !

The table is in a Private house and has only been subject to personal use , nice chunky turned legs , a little Mahogany wax to put a deeper sheen to the table and it will look the part in any house.  or club .

If anyone requires a quote from  GCL billiards to collect and deliver the table including set up , then please contact Geoff for details of this table and we will put you in touch with the seller and give you a price for the work for removal and set up  on production of your telephone number and post code address , please state if installation is on ground floor ?

I have NOW SOLD a set of three Ivory Billiard balls , they have good cross hatching grain , I have had these balls in my own collection for over 30 year’s .

I had forgot about them when I moved House 18 years ago  until I was looking in a box in the Garage and came across them again with other billiard collectables which I will put up for sale

I know the balls are worth at least  £60 per ball as Billiard collectables and the box extra is worth around £30 , so They can go with the Box  for £170  NOW SOLD.
I would sell them on ebay , but ebay have changed their policy and everything on there has to be sold as Faux Ivory or Ox Bone , they have been pressurised into doing this by animal rights groups , but it is perfectly legal to sell and buy them if they where manufactured before 1947 under cites regulations .
I have been looking at the Faux ivory on ebay and there are a few who are selling old cracked bonzaline balls as Faux Ivory fooling people into believing they are buying genuine Ivory , when the balls arrive and they find they are bonzaline , they have not got any comeback because it was sold as Faux Ivory .
This is the reason I will not sell them on ebay , look carefully at the three balls and you will see the grain showing .Please   click on the photo’s to enlarge for close up !
the spot white has a few small chips  on one side due to someone playing with just a ferrule with no tip on ,  A very nice collectable in their own display box , would grace any billiards collection . approx size 2.1/16th full size balls .

The Old solid hard wood mahogany box is a bit marked and has a crack in the lid with one hinge screw missing and there is no key but the lock is still there unlocked  , but it has a nice original E&H transfer which I have put on for a better appearance , this transfer is from 1938 , I have a box full of these transfers and some other E&H badges and some J S  Hopkin hyson Green  cue badges pre 1938 from the firms clear out of premises in Newark Street Nottingham in 1996 / 97 . these badges and transfers where all destined for the skip until I rescued them .

please be aware that when someone advertises an item and uses the word Faux , it means it is False or fake or imitation , buying what appears to be genuine old ivory balls off ebay is risky , in that many are just old clay or bonzaline balls , or just balls left out side to fade , then placed on ebay to fool people into thinking it is Ivory , always look for the cross hatch graining of natural ivory  .
The above balls are Genuine Real Ivory circa around 1900 . and I have a set of Bonzaline balls for comparison too , these can go for a further £30 with the Ivory balls .
the above balls are for people who are after  billiard collectables only for display or use .
