Foosball Table
 

I'm considering buying a foosball table for my place. However I don't want to spend a tun of money so I'm looking at trying to find a used table.

What brands should I look for? Which brands should I avoid?

Also where would be a good place to try and find used tables?

I prefer Tornado tables, and I know alot of the league tables around the my area are either Tornado Cyclones or Garlandos. The Tornado I got was from a local games repair shop called Eddie's Amusements, but I still payed about $600 for it used. I'd check ebay first, but I can't imagine what shipping would be on one of those. I have also seen some cheap ones for about $200 at Dick's Sporting Goods. From what I can tell, if you just want to play around with friends then those tables work just fine.

The only ones that you should definitley avoid are those 3-in-1 tables that they sell at Dunham's and toy stores. Those are the lowest quality pieces of junk to ever be assembled.

as stated definently a tornado table, they set the bar and are really hard to beat for the price

Very true - One of buddies that I grew up with [spoiled as hell] got one of those; extremely cheap and flimsy, *remembers when a few of the plastic guys broke when he pushed his brother onto it.* heh.

we used to have one for the kids where I work, and it was so flimsy that the goalie rod snapped when I went to make a bump pass.
