Hi Mike, good luck with sales, appears to be a cue here for all budgets
Quick question tho...have you mixed up the prices on the 2 Camkin cues ??? ie the 2nd one which is slightly better spec and has had money spent on it, is cheaper than the other one (or is that because the 1st one hasnt been messed with) plus the front splices are different lengths by some way, is that just a common thing lol

I see nothing ;-).

There's not that much in it I suspect it has something to do with the required balance points and weights. I shall check this theory later!

Evening Andrew, The 2nd Camkin is on ebay now:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...STRK:MESELX:IT

Full specs from my site.
Diameter at: Tip: 9.9 mm 12": 13.7mm Butt: 29.8 mm

I've omitted the weight from my listing as I have no way to measure it and it's not stamped. I estimated it at 16.5 for my site by comparing other stamped cues. Also note the small fill on the underside of the butt. I believe on the front page here I thought that was on the other Camkin.

[andrewscrewball]

hi its Andrew contacted you yesterday about the second camkin cue you,ve got for sale. you replied that you could,nt weigh it could,nt you just put it on the kitchen scales? can you try and weigh it for me thanks
regards Andrew

[perpetualboredom]

Evening Andrew,

No problem, of course I can do, but I don't have too much confidence in their accuracy (maybe I should learn to use them more often? There must be a knack to it).

See efforts below!:
1st Attempt: Zero scales and lay the cue straight on top of scale, the cue appears to weigh 15.5 oz (this isn't the case.. I play pool with a cue of this weight and the Camkin is significantly heavier). Even tapping the scale and allowing it to resettle adds an oz.

Attempt 2) Add a heavy folder which weighs ~ 1.2kg, then zero that and then lay the cue on top. It now apparently weighs 16.5 oz - even tapping the scale it still weighs 16.5oz. For comparison I stuck on a cue stamped 18oz afterwards and this weighed 18.5 oz.

Best guess would therefore be 16-16.5 oz. The reason for caution is that unfortunately when you sell on ebay if you're not certain of something it's best to not mention it, since as the seller you're responsible for the accuracy of your listing. I would hate to get into petty disputes after a sale if someone said "you said it was 17oz its only 16oz" or similar, from my experiance and friends too - this is all too common.
