I bought a pool table used and it came with a 1988 Old Style Heileman's pool table light. I am unable to find anything on the internet if this is actually worth something. Does anyone know a good place/website that would know what it may be worth or know anyone who knows any information on vintage pool table lights? Any info is appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Take a good picture and include that picture in an ad on Craigslist accepting best offers. You never know what somebody might offer you.....

I put it up for $150, and I had an email within 2 hours of me listing it. However the person is willing to drive an hour here for it and is really excited about it. I thought maybe it was worth more because I really didn't know what it was worth and I cannot find anything online about it. I have been looking for over an hour and still don't know. Doesn't seem to exist on the internet.

You could also list it on eBay, but then shipping becomes an issue if the buyer is not local. Post up some pictures; I am now curious what it looks like.....

beer related pool table lights especially older ones go for decent cash on ebay or cl. I would say min of $100 for a decent sized one.

I put it up on craigslist for $150, and what made me wonder if it was possibly worth something was due to a person who is driving nearly an hour on Saturday to get it and is really excited about it. As a result, I tried to look it up online and it doesn't seem to exist.

Since 2010 when a 1990 Tempo could be registered as a "collector" :rolf

Yea a buddy has that exact same light over his pool table. not exactly vintage but cool Id say its prob worth what i had a mgd one like that I sold a few years back for 175.

What really gets u good loot is neon signs if u know someone who owns a bar or liqour store ask ab em..

I sold a Leines canoe pool table light last year for $800. Those are only about 5 years old so yours could be worth a lot if its in good condition. Problem is there aren't many out there, the vendors take them back and most of them get junked or go to friends. I would try to get more info before you just dump it for 150.

Not as much as you might think, my somewhat rare Budweiser lizard sign sold for a LOT less than expected.....:mad:

Ya I was expecting something smaller. I'd bet it's worth some decent cash (more than 150). Call pickers off the history channel :goof They'll give ya $50 and sell it for $450.

Well thanks for the input everyone... I think I will just sell it for the 150 and leave it at that, maybe the people who are buying it from me know more than I do, or as Yoo said, maybe they just collect Old Style stuff. I really have no way of finding what it is worth, and have had no other emails on craigslist since I listed it.

And the light is over 20 years old, so I would suppose that make its a classic... just as a 1988 Honda is a classic... lol

Oh common, that thing is ugly and I would kiss you on the lips if you sold it for 660 bucks. I'd dump it for 150 and get a hooker
