    I will highly advise you to buy the cue in UK.
    The P&P alone from singapore to UK is £25 which will take a good 10days.
    It is almost 1/3 -1/2 the price of a budget cue.

    That is an advise that i have given to one of the member who had email me for the pricing.
    If there is 2 or more ppl who wishes to get a cue from me, then maybe can share the P&P in order to save some budget.

    Neil, jonathan & pual maybe you guys can PM each other if wanna get cue from me to save some postage charges.

          That is by air parcel which will take ard 7-9days to reach you country.
          By EMS (2-4days) is ard £35 - £53 depending on weight.

          Do note that the price is for cue alone which will be sent in a PVC pipe not in a case.

            This is getting silly.
            You can't ship from abroad on a budget of £30.

            Also:
            Never post your e-mail address on a forum
            I suggest you take it down you get spammed to death.

                  For £30 I would agree with a previous post that a 2nd hand cue from ebay will be your best bet.

                  I would suggest though if possible put a good tip on the BCE cue you have and save some extra money, if you can wait untill you have saved around £100-£120 you will be able to get yourself a good cue that will serve you well for a long time.

                  It might seem like a lot of money for a cue but a good cue is an investment and if looked after properly could well last you for the rest of you playing days.

                    Seconded - if you buy one for £30 you are just standing still - be patient, save up and get something that can last.

                      If looking 2nd cue on ebay, I think is best he save up more first then go for better cue in UK.
                      Some ebay not original and some imitation does look alike like original.
                      Better be careful.

                        Good point, it is very easy to get stung if you dont know what you are looking for regarding potential fakes.

                          No doubt that ebay is a good auction site, but some sellers take advantage of it and misuse it.
                          No pt of taking the risk, look for some potential sellers and they could help you or save up for a brand new.

I have a couple of cues, but being in Australia it's usless unless there's an Australian looking for a 'hand up the shirt of a drunk girl' snooker/pool cue" IE CHEAP...

                            we can call it CUEFAMINE....

                                Do what I'm doing mate if money is fairly tight - put away £2.50 every week and then within 2 month you will have £50 and enough for a decent enough cue, stay away from Argos and that sort because most will agree there absolute sh*t.
