Who Do We Slap - the One Who Made the $73,000 Glass Pool Table or the Buyer?



Are you aware that there's a $73,000 glass pool table? Well, yes there is and the buyer of this futuristic glass table claims its maker failed to disclose a key fact.

The buyer claims he's been snookered and in a complaint filed in Orange Country, California., superior court, the buyer alleges that the maker, Nottage Design of Australia, neglected to disclose one important fact about the table:
Play on it with anything but specially-coated, custom-made balls, and you scratch the glass.

Brant Martin, a Dallas attorney representing the buyer (identified in the suit only as Desert Beach, an LLC) says his client learned this fact the hard way: He bought a $73,000 custom G-1 glass-top table for home use, played on it with "a standard set of pool balls, the kind that might be found in any pool hall," and discovered to his horror that this left the table "scuffed, scratched, damaged—essentially destroyed."

The suit says shipping materials that accompanied the table included a sealed envelope with an inconspicuous notation saying that the balls shipped by Nottage were specially made for use with the table—but that this amounted to the "hiding" of so material a warning.

The buyer feels an injustice has been done, says Martin. The complaint seeks $219,000 in damages. Nottage, asked for comment by ABC News, did not respond.

The question i asked earlier still stands - Who do we slap - the one who created the $73,000 glass pool table or the guy who bought it?

I'll keep my palms hot and smoking till your decision comes in..
