Is this pool table worth $1600?

The table is listed at $850.
But the pockets aren’t flush with the frame, and the bumpers are a little soft. Despite that, after seeing it in person I stupidly fell in love with it and was ready to buy it until… By pure chance the mover I called asked for a picture of it. He immediately called me back and said, ”...yea, I sold and installed that table to those people a year ago for $500. Asian couple? Top of the stairs? (right on both) The wood where the pockets mount are broken and if you lean on them wrong the pockets will fall off. They actually called me a little bit ago to see if I would take it back for free, but I told them no because I didn’t want to deal with it.”

He said to have the table brought up to par with new bumpers/pockets/felt, and have everything fit together correctly it would be $850 (that includes delivery and setup).

After advising me that I could probably get them down to $400 let alone definitely at least $500, the couple is staying hard at $750. I have no doubt that someone will take the table for that price.. It’s a nice looking piece… and someone without the insider info that I have probably won’t think twice. But that makes this table $1600 all said and done for me. For that price is it worth it? Or should I just spend that much on a ready to go table?
