Used pool tables in Adelaide typically sell for A$190 to A$1,150 (about $135 to $810). Pool tables are extremely heavy and usually need dismantling, so the buyer is pricing the move as much as the table.
Selling a pool table in Adelaide
Adelaide is compact, affordable and easy to drive around, which makes it unusually good for buying anything large second hand. It is surrounded by wine country and has a strong festival culture, and its slower housing turnover means the furniture that does come up tends to be older and better made.
Households turn over more slowly than in Sydney or Melbourne because more people own rather than rent. That means less volume, but what appears is more often a genuine downsize or a deceased estate rather than a share-house clear-out.
The grid layout and light traffic mean collection is genuinely simple here, and most of the metropolitan area is within half an hour of the centre. Parking is easy by the standards of the bigger capitals, so furniture pickups are uncomplicated.
Adelaide has around 1.4 million people in South Australia, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What pool tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Slate beds rather than MDF
- Cues, balls, triangle and rests included
What pulls it down
- MDF beds, which warp with any damp
- Loose or damaged cushion rubber that kills the bounce
Working out what yours is worth
- Check whether the bed is slate or MDF — slate is far heavier
- Roll a ball slowly across to check the level and cushion response
Getting it ready
- Measure the playing surface and the outside dimensions, and establish whether the bed is slate or MDF.
- Check the cloth for tears, burns and wear at the baulk end, and test every pocket.

Steady with a lift before Christmas. Slate tables sell to committed buyers year round; MDF tables sell cheaply and slowly.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

How many people to move it?
Answer honestly. A slate table needs four or more and the slates come out separately. Understating this ends in a failed collection.
