One (Sniff!) Ping Pong Table, Slightly Used
Zopa has a long history of ping pong.
When the founders of Zopa were hashing ideas out so many years back now, it was in founder Richard Duvall’s converted barn. And it was usually over a game of ping pong.
And at least one member of the Zopa UK team played on what apparently was London’s worst table tennis team, at least if you believe the video they made about it a while back.
So it was in that spirit that here in San Francisco we made sure to have a ping pong table.
We put it in our conference room. And it was good. And we learned to serve legally, and bought fancy paddles, and settled a large number of issues with sudden death games to 11.
But now, we need our conference room for–well, conferencing. And our storage room where we were keeping our old ping pong table? It’s stuffed with racks of computer and networking equipment.
So it’s time for our ping pong table to go. And we can’t think of a better way to get rid of it than to give it to the first member who wants it. If you want it (and you’ve got the right truck or car to cart it away), drop us a line. You can have it for free. We just want it to have a happy home…

Welcome to America and I will take it. One problem, I have the vehicle and the room but both the vehicle and space are in Pittsburgh. Can you throw some bubble wrap around it and I’ll have my friends at UPS pick it up?
Considering your UK roots I am guessing someone has touched this playing surface that may have passed through Wimbledon. A nice value add but not a requirement for “purchase”.
Good Luck,
