When I was looking to buy a house about two years ago, there were quite a few houses that included the pool table in the game room with the sale of the house.
I helped a friend pick up a free pool table about ten years back. We got it to his house and set it in his garage. There was no way we were getting it into his house without ruining it (or his house).
He originally complained about the roughly $400 it cost for a pro to come and dissemble and reassemble the table in his basement with new felt etc. He finally understood why the table was free.
The table was great after the pro was done with the install. I would always recommend getting a pro to move a pool table.
He left it behind when he sold the house.
