Open to offers individually or as a lot, cues can be TNT'd for about 15 each or maybe about the same if paired and the scoreboard can be couriered for about 12, can create new listings on ebay for buying. collection could be arranged in NW Kent.
The Inman is a player cue in today's specs which makes it rarer, imo.

It is machine spliced. By hands.
As an aside I was thinking about machine spliced/hand spliced the other day, what is best, answer, neither for playing, one just takes longer than the other to make but the end result is a butt put together from bits rather than a solid butt, ie, you can see the grain go around the butt in a MS cue but with HS it's four separate splices, or more.
Some cue collecting websites suggest MS may be more collectable in the future, particularly when you can get HS cues from China now shipped in for the price of a few pints of beer and then re-finished and re-priced.

Take no notice of whatever website said machine spliced cues will be more collectible in the future as they are talking nuts

Couple extra pics added
That said not all 'rare' cues are commercially valuable - take Blackswan's Roberts stamped cue, it didn't make double figures or it's reserve but this is a 130 year old cue and very rare - just quite unattractive.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Inman cue is gone but the scoreboard and Permac remain. Surely somebody with their own snooker room wants a proper scoreboard or a collector wants the best Permac Champion cue going?
If it helps, I'll include free couriering for the scoreboard to UK addresses if bought and paid for today and will chuck in a lump of Kamui 1.21a chalk which has been used for one frame only and they cost £20 to anyone stupid enough (me) to buy it, with the Permac,.Last edited by sberry; 13 June 2014, 03:18 PM.

I know, after commissions and the postage I'll be ending up with less than a bullseye for something you can't get any more in this condition - next offer will get it.
Guess it's today's players not understanding the game and just wanting the mass produced stuff that's ten thousand a penny with different badges - it's still all knocked out in bulk in a factory by joe nobody for next to nothing then re-sold on.
Like comparing a new Nissan micra with a concourse vintage MG...
