Maybe, anyway i keep believing it is better to not buy a cue online, much better to touch it, feel it, use it for a while before you buy.

The pathetic thing is that design is only in demand because of O'Sullivan using it, this guy knows that so is never out of the parris shop buying them up before anyone else can get a chance try one out. All so he can get a small markup on ebay.

This guy must sit outside the shop waiting on a new batch of cues to be finished. Lost count of the amount of cues he's sold, mostly traditionals or any cue that has a good looking shaft.

I was there only 11 days ago and he said the shop stock was very very low at the time, maybe 15 or so, and i tried all 15; most were too light for my liking luckily there was one that i fancied, from then on i kept it with me in the shop not giving other people a chance to try it

I mean, it would have been a shame to see the one cue i liked being bought by someone else while i travelled all the way from Belgium to there.
He didn't have the leather case i wanted and said that might take a long time so i took the cue with me and ordered the case empty.

If i find that case somewhere else i might still cancel it.

It's not even in a JP ultimate case, yeah this won't sell i'm sure.
I have been spending too much on snooker gear myself lately but this would be too high even for me if i didn't

It's got a low number so no doubt it will still sell, they can then shorten it (Chinese ?) and probably get it near to 9 mm maybe more

Can't see it going for that as a starting price, had they just put a reserve and a 99p start it would have a better chance.

lol, £1800 STARTING bid for a cue with an 8.5mm tip.

Is it just me, or does this LOOK like an advert for 5 cues, including a Ye olde ash, only for the description to only
mention 4 of the cues, excluding the YOA ?

Yep i nearly started adding up the prices in my head to make an offer then starting reading, sent a message but no answer. No way will he get close to what he wants, Peall not worth what he thinks

Only other birds eye maple shaft i've seen was done by Jim Black, pity this is pool spec and a bit rough but still a nice looking old cue.

Would the value take a big hit if someone had the butt lengthened and the shaft trimmed down to fit a more standard ferrule size?

Depends if anyone knew i suppose, odds are this is going to China so a shorter cue will most likely suit. You could get away with lengthening a black ebony cue with a different wood as its a common look, less common to see macassar ebony with 4 other splices so might raise some eyebrows.

The Black Plate badge features the thin font that Will used on all the best custom made to order high end cues.

Some bs there, they just changed the fonts on the badge as some of the early ones had a very thick font, making them thinner gave it a better look.

Why is it when these cues show up they're usually either short, or have a stupidly small tip? Seems like most of these cues originally got bought by the short arse brigade who played the crap uk version of pool. Probably explains why when a snooker spec one appears it gets jumped on.
