[quote=Anonymous]You really don't want to give it to some random guy who wants to try and move it himself. They're big and heavy if he doesn't know what he's doing he can easily damage your home or hurt himself, which could become your problem. He could also damage the table, at which point he would probably abandon it and now you're faced with paying to have a heavy and bulky piece of trash removed.

If the new owner isn't willing to pay for professional moving they're not serious. You have to know what you're doing to set it up again after it's been taken apart.

You should be able to give it away and insist that it be professionally moved. About ten years ago I bought a pool table off of Craigslist and my recollection is it cost about $500 to have it professionally moved. There's a guy, I think his name is Chris, who does nothing but move and assemble pool tables around the DC area. He moved our table when we bought it, and when we were done with it we gave it away and the recipients used him too.

My advice is don't list it for free, list it for a ridiculously low price like $50. There's something about human psychology that draws people to free stuff. You want someone who wants a pool table. [/quote]
