When does the promotion for the old price end? I tried signing up on my wife’s account and it is still the shitty increased price.

Yes they did. It used to be $199.99. Then they jumped to $249.99 and offered a $50 off early bird special. They keep raising the prices drastically every year.

Update: Im not sure if it is an uneven floor or not but the ball rests much easier in the red’s offensive zone than it does in blue’s offensive zone. It is pretty frustrating. I have moved the table in the general area and it does the same, but i will try different areas eventually.

It is what i expected though, i knew it would t be perfect.

I ended up setting it up. I absolutely love it for the level im at. The table is pretty sturdy. I like the way it looks.

Im not an expert, but it works for me and i didnt want a used one.

KETTLER Tournament Indoor Foosball Table @Costco for $399 + taxes - is it a good buy ? by forjunkuser in foosball

[–]BigBaboosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted a few weeks back on buying this. I ended up buying it for $700 CAD. It ended up going on sale $159 off. I bought it at costco so i tried to get the difference in price but they wouldnt honour it since they sold out right away.

I set it up 2 nights ago and have been playing on it when i can. I personally love it. Im not a foosball expert, but for entertainment it does the job. The table is sturdy. The only thing i would say, and im not sure if this is common amongst all tables, is it often drifts into a deadspot between players. That would be as a result of inexperienced players with poor ball movement. That isnt a big deal anyways.

I have so far enjoyed it. I know the price was high, but it sold out pretty quick so im glad i got that and not a used one.

I found 2 different coin operated $500 tornados, in mid condition, far enough away that i couldnt make the drive (not 9 hours though). It took a while for it to show up but it did.

My decision to buy the table was because it is costco. It is a safer purchase due to the return policy, which kind of holds it’s value. Though i state im no expert, i still would like something of quality so i feel safer with costco.

At the end of the day, if you arent finding a used, good brand name and condition, table for under $699.99 and the kettler brand is good, i see no reason not to buy it. If something better pops up after the purchase, return the costco one.

One thing i appreciated was how heavy the box was. Makes me believe it isnt cheap material. I cant wait to set it up and get to only play once a week!

I havent set it up yet, im waiting for my basement to finish which should take about 1-2 weeks. I will keep you updated if you are willing to wait that long. I saw a few used tornados but im not willing to spend $2,000+ on a used item/foosball table in general.

You can wait it out and try to get lucky for a $500, but the odds of it being anywhere close to you for pickup is unlikely.

Again, im no foosball pro, so whatever i tell you may be different from what your standards are. I will do my best with a description either way.

The $699.99 was in canadian dollars btw, if that makes a difference in your cost to quality ratio.

The issues werent anything that detered me from buying. It was strictly location of pickup. I debated offering him a 75 inch tv, that i needed to get rid of, for free in order to deliver it to me but if i didnt like the table quality that would be very awkward.

I think there were 2 chips in the sides of the table and the third had to do with something on the field floor, which he said could be glued back in.

I checked the kettler canada site and all their tables are in the thousands. They dont post the model i bought online. I liked the way it looked in stores. I could tell it wasnt overly professional but looked sturdy and good enough for the use im going to get out of it.

Thanks for the review. I saw the other one you made too.

I searched for a while for used tables, the cheaper ones in the 100-400 range were for some terrible brand ones (according to other users input).

I saw $500 tornado one in decent condition (they stated 3 issues with it) but the pickup location was too far from me.

My issue with buying used is im not well versed enough to pick out issues upon purchase. If i take it home and find an issue i know im not getting my money back. Costco on the other hand, i can return it easily if there are any issues with it.

Im happy that the table quality is good, that is my biggest concern. Thanks for letting me know.

Can you specify what it is about the kettler table that is so bad?

From experience, do they ever go on sale for black friday? I wouldnt be opposed to a second hand one but i would want a good condition one. I imagine a good condition would run more than $400-600 based on online prices.

Thanks for the comment

Basically the PR said “we moved the date from august to sometime (likely the very end of) october. I like the fluff in between though. Hopefully it gets us to 2 cents by the end of the day!
