Selling John Parris Superior 3/4 cue.

[Neil Taperell]

Whilst I fully support suspension for foul and abusive use of a motorcycle I also believe people should be allowed to ask whatever they like for their goods when selling - without derisive comments from others -market forces will dictate if asking prices are reasonable.

Let's keep it friendly on here folks.

Yes i agree , but this is the same guy who posted on a thread where a member was trying to sell his cue and he told him it was over priced by £300 ! So the guy does have some previous your honour

ban is nothing to do with that its for language.

[Neil Taperell]

Yeah Andrew understood that ......was just replying to the posters comment about making remarks on members posts .

[sprogbasket]

Point taken ...pots and kettles.

[Inoffthered]

He has been banned for 3 months.

You might wanna consider an IP ban ( apologies if this has already been done Ferret ).

[arbitrage]

nice to see social regression in full force & a small group of people gloat over mob justice.

[Neil Taperell]

Don't see anyone gloating that he has got a ban on this thread . I for one was stating the obvious at a rather underhand act of doctoring a receipt in order to try to justify a higher price on a cue .

You think Gazza is a twat ......charming post .

I think you are a fraud.......you still have never replied to your statement that you have Ronnie's cue that he gave away to the boy in the crowd . When we know that a forum member bought it and then sold it to a collector in Singapore sometime later .

You were found to doctor receipts from John Parris ......something even John came on here and proved .


I will let the members on here to work out who the twat is .........

The collector's name is Jonny Cao and he has a very serious collection including that cue Ronnie gave out!! He is a very nice guy and I was close to buying a stunning 20 year old green plate Robert Osborne from him but unfortunately it was too short for me...

Out of interest does anyone know how much the cue ronnie gave away went for? Or have an idea of what it would have?

[Neil Taperell]

I'm led to believe a figure around £5k plus

[Oldgit]

Well, seeing as I am the guy who bought it and then sold it to my friend in Singapore, the true price was somewhere between £3000 and £4000. I sold it for the exact amount that I paid for it!! For me it was the thrill of owning and playing with the cue and never about making money.

I would have loved to Own that Cue as it has the Specs I like and Definately a Cue to Keep especially "Ronnies Own Cue" Which he was Playing with not just Made for him which he didnt Use like some try to sell.

I wasn't that far out ..........nice piece of snooker history you had there . Out of interest , was there a great deal of difference in the way the cue felt , to say other quality cues you have played with . I suppose i'm asking was it something special , as from what we can gather Ronnie tries out so many cues until he gets the right feel for a cue .

[qaasim]

Thanks for the responses!

Interesting to know what happened to it!

[Oldgit]

The cue was really stiff and i had no trouble using it but it didn't make me a better player!! What was wonderful was that it was used at the crucible by Ronnie against Dott and then Ronnie gave it to the boy who never used it, not even once. So when I used it I was the first person since Ronnie gave it away which was special. I loved owning the cue and it gave me a lot of pleasure but I am not a collector and the guy who I sold it to is a collector and it was his dream cue so I was more than happy to let him have the cue. My next door neighbour works in Singapore so he took it out there for me.
