Global Billiards Pool Tables — Value, Refelt & Sell Guide
Own a Global Billiards pool table and trying to figure out what it's worth, whether it's worth refelting, or how to find replacement parts? Global Billiards is a Southern California manufacturer best known for commercial bar-grade slate tables used in bars, apartment clubhouses, and family entertainment centers. Most are built to commercial standards — slate beds, heavy cabinets, and durable cushions. Here's everything you need to know about valuing, servicing, or selling yours.
What kind of Global Billiards table do you have?
| Model type | Common spec | Used value range |
|---|---|---|
| 7ft commercial bar table (coin-op) | 3-piece slate, K-66 cushions, coin mechanism | $400-$900 |
| 7ft commercial bar table (non-coin) | 3-piece slate, K-66 cushions, free play | $500-$1,100 |
| 8ft home-style | 3-piece slate, residential cabinet finish | $600-$1,400 |
| Tournament 9ft (less common) | 3-piece slate, K-55 cushions | $900-$1,800 |
If your table came out of a bar or restaurant, expect the cabinet finish to show wear (drink rings, scuffs, chipped corners). That's normal and doesn't affect playability — just resale value.

Refelt or sell? Quick decision guide
- Refelt + keep if: the slate is intact, cabinet is structurally sound (cosmetic wear is fine), and you'll use the table regularly. A refelted Global bar table is a perfectly good garage or basement table for $700-900 all in.
- Sell to a bar / FEC if: you have a commercial Global with a working coin mechanism in good condition. Commercial buyers (bars, apartment clubhouses, family entertainment centers) actively look for these — list on commercial billiards forums or Craigslist business-for-sale section.
- Sell private-party if: 8ft home model, good shape, you're moving and don't want to bring it. Realistic price: $600-1,200. List with photos of the slate (proves it's not MDF), the rail cushions (proves they're not rotted), and the cabinet from multiple angles.
- Strip for parts if: cabinet damaged beyond repair but slate is intact. A 3-piece slate set from an 8ft Global can sell for $200-400 to someone rebuilding a custom table. Cushion rails and original Global hardware sell as parts too.
