Hi, I purchased this table and I'm now thinking of selling it again if anyone's interested. Just message me if you'd like to make an offer.

I've got the table dismantled in storage just now so can't take a picture. It's a full size Riley Aristocrat with steel block cushions and accessories. Most world champions have also played on this table during the time that Hendry used it for practice. It was the table that Stephen used throughout his career (until 3 years ago) and world championship wins. I don't have a set price in mind, so am open to offers. I am only selling due to being refused planning permission for an extension and being unable to find anywhere else to put it for my son to use for practice.

I think you probably do!!
What about giving us O.I.R.O price to stop all this guessing.
I wont put an offer in as not to embarass me or you.
Good luck though

I actually don't have any set price in mind!! I would much rather keep the table and be able to get it set up, which I'm continuing to try and sort out, but finding a space big enough isn't easy. So as it looks like I may need to sell, I'm asking for offers from anyone interested. From looking on ebay, a Riley Aristocrat without steel block cushions is going for approx £2700, one that Steve Davis played 1 event on is up for £3000. I heard a while ago that Mark Williams was selling his practice table that he'd used for a few years and Ronnie won his 2004 World Title on and that around £12k was a guide price, although I don't know the eventual price received.

This table has been Stephen Hendry's for a long time, used practiced on for his many world titles and practically every top player throughout those years has played on it too. So it's for people to decide what they are willing to part with to own a piece of snooker history!
No need to be embarrassed to make an offer, I can only say yes or no thanks!

Fair enough, it's actually less than what I thought.
Perhaps I might have to take the wife breakfast in bed in the morning
then ask her very nicely if I could just......... (not what you are thinking either!)

Thanks for the offer, but I think it's worth a bit more than that. You can't buy any Riley Aristocrat with steel block cushions for £1000, let alone one with history. Thanks anyway.

All due respect but I bought 9 steel block ARISTOCRATS last year for £ 500 each. Snooker has been decimated by the smoking ban and clubs are closing every week as they struggle to make ends meet. I wish you all the very best in obtaining the price you want. You must have a figure in mind which if you let people know you can then negotiate a mutually acceptable price.

Yes, maybe buying in bulk would cut the price down, especially if someone was shutting a club and selling off everything cheap. This was Stephen Hendry's table, the greatest player ever to lift a cue and so the history does count for something. If you were to ask the majority of previous World Champions, they would all have played on this table at some point too. As previously mentioned, other tables with a connection to a top player fetch a lot more than £1000. There's not a more accomplished player than Stephen and he has a lot of fans around the world. I will be advertising elsewhere and if I don't get any decent offers for it I will just hold on to it. I've not got a set price, it will go to the highest bidder. Mark Williams had a guide price of £12k on his and I've been told it went for £14500. It all depends what people are willing to pay to own the table played on throughout most of the 7times World Champion's career. It could go to a private collector or a snooker club. Everyone loved getting the chance to lay on this table when it was up in the club, so it can be quite a draw for club owners in that way.
Anyone wanting to make an offer can PM me and I'll get back to them.

I've played on this table several times, but I don't think that really adds any value to it lol
