  • O'Min Cue???

    Just found this O'min cue http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-OMIN-...item19d4ee9332 but I'm curious if someone can tell me whether its genuine or not given that ever other O'min classic cue i can find is approx SGD $330 or approx $250AUD. Maybe I just can't find the other cheap ones :nonchalance: But I'm also a nit sus given the classic design looks totally different from the one on their offical website. Any help would be appreciated.

    looking at pics dosent look best of cues, dont know if its original or not but you get what you pay for and at that price dont think you are getting much, there is an omin classic on ebay just went on starting at £90 plus postage from singapore may be a better option

      I have seen quite a number of Omins over the years... The Omin classics I know of have plain ebony butts (hence classic, I guess)... and neither the extension joint nor the 3/4 joint are typical of Omin cues.

      Mid-range Omins are not too expensive. If possible, I'd rather buy from the source or from a local reputable re-seller than from ebay.

        Looks like a fake. Even the ebony splices looks like painted. :nightmare:

          Yeah thats what made me a bit sus, but I thought maybe its was a old classic design or a custom batch that had been ordered.
          Oh well if it seems to good to be true... only wanted one for guests etc. I suppose if they're serious they should be bringing their own cue

                    Is there anything they don't copy?

                    No.

                      I have 2 omin, classic and perfect. If interested let me know and I will post some pics. In Singapore, so can save shipping fees. Definitely less than $200 Sgd for each cue.
