judging by cue location and michael wild's hometown then its actually a legit cue and 380 is about what it will go for

So dents in the butt, wonky splicing, a tip suitable for sewing with, and all for a STARTING bid of £2500. Sign me up.

really??? think youre missing the obvious..........
£2500 with that ultimate number ???
I think theres every chance itll make much more than that
you couldn't order that number even if you waited 10 years

Yeah let's ignore the fact the splicing is crap, it has dents in the butt but is described as "new", it has a ridiculously small tip. But it's all about the numbers in the badge...

Dont see any dents? Where you seeing them?
Just saying 888 to a chinese collector i think will sell it

There's dents below the badge in the very first pic. The splices on it are laughably bad, "ultimate" my arse. There's a lot of cue makers that wouldn't let something that bad out of their workshop, and actually fixing the splicing and making it more snooker spec would cost quite a bit.

Doesn't look the nicest piece of maple either, for an ultimate cue I would hope for a clean unmarked shaft.

Why do people make cues that way, the shaft section, big long slab of ebony than 4 little dumpy looking splice fingers. =/
