Spotted on eBay

Yeah to be honest ebay just makes alot of things not worth it. Im sort of on a collection hunt and am actually heading up to scotland to visit the zoo at the end of may at would have happily paid the money up front for the cue and taken it away. Sort of planning a trip where i can drive up from london and stop by different cue makers to have a look inside

Feel free to make an offer.

I feel for you as the fees they charge to advertise can sometimes be more than what a seller makes in profit.

By the time a person pays their ebay, paypal, postage it's really not worth the effort unless you have a decent margin in a product to start with!

Usually I would agree but I have a discount code from eBay. Final sale price is £1

I used to think ebay fees were high, until I started bidding and buying on a few items from the mainstream auction houses.


Some fees are 28% !!! and that's before any post and packaging costs. . . .

I'm selling the cues on eBay. I sold a cue last week and was trying for a deal outside to avoid fees. eBay messaged me saying they would be watching my account. That's why I said no to you.

They're over £250 new, so seems a decent price.

What a bargain at £102!

Guy has an ash one too.

I tried to ask if he would do an out of eBay deal but he refused. Said he had his knuckles wrapped last week doing off eBay deals. I don't know what that means though.

This maple ultimate looks nice too but pricey. Noticed he's selling with extensions but the cue has no s.d joint to accept lol

lol, so its a "solid oak que" with an 18mm tip.

All the "Ye Olde Ash" cues were solid oak, obviously, the clue's in the name

A friend of mine builds custom exhausts. he gets some outrageous requests that he just outright refuses to make and put his name to. I would've had this down as the cue-making equivalent.

[narl]

surprised Trev didn't outright refuse to make it

It's unique i suppose, but not really in a good way. Its like the cue equivalent of throwing **** at a wall and seeing what bits stick.

[qc2]

Yup, while i'm sure a lot of work went into it, its just totally over the top, almost like a challenge to have as many random secondary brown wood based splices as possible.
