Old Cue Auction

[Oldgit]

Earlier this evening, in my club, there was an auction of old cues and cases which had belonged to either ex members or deceased members.

I managed to win three of the auctions and just wondered if anyone has any idea of the value of them so that I know if I have paid too much or even too little for them.

1) a full length (58in) machine spliced Permac Olympic maple one piece cue.

2) a full length (58in) machine spliced News Of The World prize ash one piece cue

3) a very short (54in) hand spliced one piece ash Tom Newman 1370 cue.

Thanks
Oldgit

Sounds about right.

I like the old Permac Olympic cue.

Thanks John, I had guessed at 1) £40 2) £40 and 3) £20 and I actually paid less than £80 for all three and I got a nice old metal case thrown in as well!!

I thought that the Tom Newman would be a nice first cue for a child as its nice grain and 9.5mm ferrule.

Cheers

Yes it would be a great kids cue for sure. Were they any super rare cues up for sale then?

ADR has a pontins cue for sale for 65 quid on ebay

I'm still looking for that 300GBP JP Ultimate at my specs that I can try out because I feel I'm missing something (or am I?)

No John, nearly all the other cues were rubbish, the club gave me the job a few weeks ago to open all the cases and catalogue all the cues I was rather hoping to find a Ye Olde Ash or similar!!

Dammit Terry, I had the perfect JP Ultimate for you, medium FLEX and your exact spec but it was £305 so too much for you!

Terry i'm in the same boat as you so dont take offence as i'm sure you wont but we dont need a new cue we need a good used medium flex time machine!

You never told me about it so I think you're having me on!

Never mind the medium flex, I'll take any time machine - stiff or not!
