Not sure..... wana sell the cue so maybe just a refurb

You can email me some pics and can give you an idea of the price or meet me tomorrow, so I can look at it.
As I will be at King's cross.
Let me know if you want to know more.
Regards Colin

I just don't understand. This jp ultimate. Ebony is not the best yet it costs probably 1.4k to buy.... Surely a top cue maker would make sure they are the highest quality?

Really, really honest listing . . .

Credit to him, though at £5 I still think he's asking too much!

What do people reckon to this, why is it advertised as having a screw on tip? Don't they normally sell for more than this?

maybe cheap because (1) only 55.5" long and (2) was up for sale on ebay not that long ago

[jamesg19851]

Thanks Dean, I'm tempted to send him an offer. I see it's a little warped too. Surely it wouldn't have had a screw on tip originally, would you say that's a later modification? I've always wanted a Burwat cue, I don't really need one though haha.

[DeanH]

the ferrule does seem to have been changed, maybe why it is short; a break to the end and reduced in length to fit a new ferrule?

[jamesg19851]

Thanks, yh that might be the case. It could be a bargain if that's your cue length but it may well need some work done.

Could also have been cut down as I know a guy that is doing this with all the cues he buys.
Uses them for a while then sells it and buys another one that he will have cut down to 56"....
He is working his way through a lot of cues! N

Well as long as he's happy devaluing every single cue then carry on, what an idiot

[mathias12]

Probably the same bloke I sold my burwat champ to and 5 weeks later it was back on eBay with 3" taken off it and no ferrule. Definitely didn't lost money by doing that.
