    Is that really it???? If I knew it was that one I'd have bought it
    I thought from the terrible picture it just had one facing splice (why try and make money on things with such poor pictures???)
    The description didn't say different!!! " BLACK EBANY BUTT WITH RED ROSE WOOD IN IT" Hardly a genius description

    Oh and Paul, Why is your site dead? If it wasn't I might have realised it was that one and bought it

    I think through this strange set of circumstances, bad pictures, bad description, not including case in pictures, you've really got a bargain!

        When made the cue was 57 long with four splices of Purple Heart
        Shaft's Ok from memory airlock joints in base and 3/4.

        £65 inc delivery is a bargain and as stated bad pictures and end time plus description.

          There is a very good point to using a snipe. i have had some real good bargains from the good old sniper...

          Plus it saves people bidding to find out your max bid. i much to prefer to use a snipe on an auction. they work a treat.

          Especially if i'm not going to be around to bid and the auction finishes at silly times, i find i defo have won lots of stuff cheaper and easier with snipe than doing it myself.

          I love a good old snipe sometimes...

          I dont use it all the time tho.

              Take this one for instance... If youd bid 70 with 3 days left... You still would have won it! Sniping just opened you up to the possibility of missing out, as has been proven here! And having a bid on it would put people off bidding for it.

              And I forgot the stupid end time added to the list of problems with the auction

                    Unless its a chinese cue where I swear you get them bidding them up themserlves (they all go to around 26 pounds every time) I don't see the point

                    I could go try out my cue from JRC750 on ebay But I can't get to the club in this weather without risking personal injury

                      Yeah it was me who got robbed
                      Didnt know if it was a surprise for you or not (buyers address diff to your delivery address) otherwise would have sent you a message, hope you think its ok (bearing in mind the price of course) just too light for me otherwise would of kept it

                        I knew she was buying it. I wanted to try something lighter and it was about the right length so I thought I'd give it a go, I was actually watching it at the end thinking, here comes a higher bid, I'm not winning this, Oh well guess I won't win it... Then I was quite surprised when no one bid.
                        It looks quite good actually, the splicings a bit dodgy on even-ness and the shafts a bit crazy grained but it still has to be a bargain Just need to get down the club and try it, just holding it I quite like the weight but how it hits the ball I'll find out at some point

                            I had plenty of interest from overseas but then they didnt bother putting bids in if price had gone over a ton i would maybe have been a bit embarassed because of the "splicings a bit dodgy on even ness" as you put it

                              Didn't know how to put it lol
                              Its strange they are fairly even on top but not at the base, I thought it was either both even or the top and bottom would be out by the same ammount? I can't imagine how you would get the smaller splice to go lower down than the larger splice (where the two fingers meet in a point)
                              But it'll do for my experimentations for sure

                                Hope that is your choice and not being forced into it for any reason. Have you got any mini butts / extentions going cheap ?? dont usually bother because ime quite tall - but at the right price .....
