Looking at picking up a Brunswick pool table off of Criagslist. It's an older style but its for a good price.
The guy selling it claims that only a professional pool moving company is capable of moving it. This will cost an add'l $300-600. I'm not cheap but if it's something I can do myself, why would I pay someone?
I mean, if I can keep my DSMs going without going to a "professional" I feel like a buddy and I can dismantle and move a pool table with a pickup truck.

Anyone have some advice to share in regards to this?

Add'l info: the table is 8' by 4.5' and my truck bed is less than this, so I'll have to use a trailer for the slate(s). Aside from this, there doesn't seem to be any major issues with doing this by hand.

Move it wrong and you can crack/bust the slate. So setting it on edge in the back of a pick up is out.

Also the you can not just sit it flat on the frame, it has to be blocked up under the slate to support and pad the slate.
 
Yea the only thing you need to worry about is the slate cracking and making sure that suckers level when you put it back together, which is the hardest part!
I've broken down and moved my pool table twice now, it's a pita, but i'm not spending that kind of cash just to move something I'm capable of! Don't dish out the beer till your finish :D
 
Just wanted to give an update. We were able to disassemble, move, and reassemble the pool table with just two pick-up trucks. Way more satisfying to have done it all ourselves.

Thanks for the motivation guys!
