Pricing help... Electrical Spool Card Table

iluvfish2 · 11-28-2018, 11:20 AM

Anyone seen anything like this for sale before, or bought one? Cards are supposed to be replicas, but unsure that's 100% true.

I know it's 28.5" high. Assuming 4 ft diameter. Typically spools are around $25 bucks it so.

And yes the OC Boggs rookie in this makes it priceless

Looks nice; maybe $80-100? Are the cards lacquered onto the top or just glued down?

They're asking $75. I'm thinking of offering $50 (I've got 2+ hours into driving to go get it).

5 Layers of Polyurathane - so should be plenty thick

With a glass top should be pretty functionable for working on cards. I was planning on adding casters to the bottom to not only help raise the height, but make it easier to move around

Can catch those spools free sometimes or at the most $50. paint the top, trim the bottom edge smaller, print off some replicas of cards you like, $15 on some clear epoxy/poly to coat it all. So DIY you could make one for $65 or less. Buying one already made, paying for someones time and creativity, it would probably be $150. $75 is a decent price.

Gather round ye Knights of ye Round Card Table!

We shall now SORT our cards!

Dang, now I want to make one.....but with real cards. I'd buy some beat up vintage and modern rookies in bad shape to put it together.

Good luck talking them down!

I have never seen such a table before, it looks really very cool. I think that at such sales you can find a lot of interesting things, right? I also once tried to find the necessary tools on such a platform and found a great soldering iron. Only later did I realize that there was a faulty wire when my generator knocked out the plugs when turned on. We had to contact specialists and change the counter. I think if not https://bates-electric.com/ then we wouldn't be able to turn on the electricity in our house so quickly. Basically everything went great haha

We had a bar around here that the entire length of the bars surface had thousands of beer bottle caps covered in some type of clear laquer/urethane product.
It looked really, really cool. Unfortunately after about a year or two the urethane product clouded up so badly that now you can barely see any of the bottle caps. Not sure if that would be the case with one of these spools but something to think about.
