Black Arrow Cue

[Henrytheeighth]

Hey guys I'm just after some advice. There is a Black Arrow cue on ebay with a starting price of £1050 that I'm contemplating bidding on. I don't know much about the cues but I have a friend who travels the country buying and selling silverware at auctions and he said he bidded £200 on a black arrow cue at this particular auction and he got drastically outbid as the cue eventually sold for £2500.. I've had a look on cues n views and he said it's one of he's top 10 saving cues if he's house was burning down. I cant seem to find any other information on them apart from everyone I've spoke to in the past saying there as rare as hens teeth. Can anyone tell me why they are so rare and expensive and any info on Blackpool Billiard Works who made them please? And would it be a worthy investment?

I wouldn't of thought they would get a £200 bid never mind £2500. I think someone's lying here, but willing to be proved wrong

I assume you have seen the other much cheaper one on ebay ?

And that was sold by adr who always prices cues high (sorry Andrew ) so that should give you an idea of how much they are worth. That £2500 you mentioned to be honest is unbelievable

Who's lying about what?? I'm Confused?

Sorry i didn't come across very nice at all there. I just mean that £2500 price you mentioned is totally unbelievable to be honest.

I put it up at a price to be sold mate - should have been 400-500 imho.

Firstly you did come across a bit ( not very helpful) secondly I'm only saying what I was told from a guy I've known all my life that I know to be honest. So before you assume folk are lying or are dishonest I suggest you get your facts right first my old China. People come on here for advice and not to be trolled by jokers like yourself. You probably know nothing about cues anyways.

Well I know a little bit about cues fella, happy to sell you one for £400 if you want it, I actually picked it up in blackpool myself.

Hey Adrian, thanks but that JRC OR CBR OR JBC has put me off them now so I guess I won't be buying one after all if they are not even worth £200. Thanks for the offer though mate, appreciate someone actually being helpful.

I'm willing to bet you I know more about cues than you ever will
