Post by: BonziniPlayer on October 28, 2014, 05:09:02 PM: Hi,
I'm looking for a used Bonzini B90 or B60 standard or rustic finish to purchase. Anyone in Greensboro, Charlotte, or Raleigh, NC area have one you'd like to sale? Please contact me at: jbf@triad.rr.com

Used Bonzini's are hard to come by, but I do know that Paul Whetstone was looking to sell his (Basically Brand New) B90. He is from Winston Salem, and I believe he was selling for a almost new price $2200 - $2400. I haven't talked to him in awhile but I believe that is close to what I remember the price being.

And only $24??? I have seen a lot of ads on Craigslist where people try to pass off those Chinese knockoffs as a Bonzini. One guy was asking for $2,000!

This is a bit closer and maybe legit?

Also, if you are looking for new or a slightly used tournament table, Alan Cribbs at bonziniusa is your man.

Hope it works out!

Question: Why do people prefer the home model over the coin-op? Is it because the one-piece cabinet is more rigid?

Post by: RobYates on November 03, 2014, 11:55:31 AM: I can't speak for all people, but for me. A. It's much cheaper then a coin up, B. Its the same table that the tournaments are played on, and C. It's lighter weight, and we move tables a lot.....I missed out on this table, because i misunderstood what first come first serve means in Georgia. But, I was actually planning on getting the table, and trading it for a coin op to put into our new playing location. Instead we bought a coin op from Nelson Nye, and will be putting it in Snookers this week.
