🚨 Real World Pool Table Business Scenario – What Would You Do?
Let me break down a situation that just came across my phone.
A contractor calls me.
He was remodeling a house.
He moved the homeowner’s pool table.
He broke all four legs.
Now the homeowner refuses to pay him for the remodel job.
The contractor says:
“If you restore the table for $700, the homeowner will pay you, and then I’ll get the rest of my money.”
So I call the homeowner directly.
The homeowner says:
“The table is beyond repair.”
“But I’ll pay you $200 to remove it from my house.”
Now we have a triangle:
- Contractor wants me to fix it so he gets paid.
- Homeowner thinks it’s trash.
- I know once restored, it could sell for $1,500–$2,000.
This is where business maturity matters.
🎯 The Real Question Isn’t “Can I Fix It?”
The real question is:
Where is the leverage?
Option 1:
Restore it for $700.
Risk: You’re in the middle of a dispute. If they argue again, you could get stuck unpaid.
Option 2:
Take the $200 removal fee.
Own the table.
Restore it on your terms.
Sell for $1,500–$2,000.
Would you fix the table for the contractor?
Would you remove the table for the homeowner?
