Pool Table

Okay 2 quick questions.

I was Googling for pool table companies in my area to get an idea on refelting cost, and the balls for the table.



Unfortunately, all I kept coming up with was billiard companies aka pool halls.

So I have 2 questions.

1. It looked like some sort of glue or light adhesive was used to keep the green felt fabric attached to the slate pieces. It come off really easily, it makes it looks like that the felt is tucked under the wooden sides and then looped over, but it isn't. It is big enough to fit the slate alone, and then the wooden side pieces has their own felt.

2. Can anyone tell me roughly how much a set of pool balls, the triangle piece, and the chalk is worth.

As a former pool player (hey, I've done a LOT of stuff!), what I can tell you is this: You will not recover your costs for the additional items. A good set of Belgian composite pool balls (which is what any serious player will want) is $60-$70. The rack and chalk will run you a few bucks more. Much easier to just say those items are not included.
