Louis Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I entered a competition on the rockstar table tennis website. I won a table tennis RAD table worth $1549.00 (£815)!!! One problem - there's no space in the house for it http://www.killerspin.com/displayitem.php?i=310-74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 That's a table and a half Louis! Played to a pretty high standard myself, national tournaments and with and against international players but I never played on anything like that! Have a three quarter size table now in the attic...cost about £75.00 I think . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 How much do you reckon I could get for it on ebay mikeo? As I said - it's a fantastic prize but it's just a shame there's no room for it, it has to go before I've even received it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 It's a tough one because it's such a small market I'd have thought, only really National/British league clubs. Think the last place anyone looking for that quality of table would expect to find one would be ebay, there's certainly nothing remotely like it on there at the moment! Might be worth emailing >>>THE ETTA<<<, they may offer some suggestion. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Must admit after the novelty wore off, our Ping Pong table now get's dusted off for party's etc, table cloth = Big ass table. + I think postage would screw any of us down south in view to Louis's Championship table.

Louis Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Out of interest Claire, what did you think they were called? Rackets or bats? Mikeo - I took your advice and rang the Table Tennis Association. They put me in touch with the guy who runs the Liverpool leagues and he said he will ask people for me. He asked me how much I would want for it and I said £200. Probably should have said higher but at the end of the day it's money for nothing It's a lot of hassle getting it here though - the importers are having to book a lift truck to get it off the van and into the garage!!

MikeO Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) not allowed to call it that now, "politicaly incorrect" <_< , it offends some aisan people 48825[/snapback] It offends me and I'm not Asian , it's only called ping-pong by people who have never played it properly ...so there! Incidentally the "paddle" is called a racket in the laws of the game but I've never heard anyone call it that in the real world...it's a bat . And at £200 Louis someone's getting a hell of a bargain, I'd have pitched it higher but like you say..money for nothing...maybe you could let a club have it for that in return for renaming themselves...Toffeetalk Knotty Ash or wherever !

Pat Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Blonde Moment Claire. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And for the Record the game is Ping Pong in my paradigm, just like a road cone is a witches hat, A man hole is still a funkin Manhole, a Bolllard is a donkey dick & a Rubber get's rid of ya writng fuk ups.. ANd whilst I am 100% anti domestic voilence or anyhting akin...If Germaine Greer has a prob wif my attitudes...Ill punch the twisted old sour man thing bitch in the nose. There glad that's out of the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
