    Stuart a few had been on the Phone about it before i sent it away and i turned there Offers down as i wanted to keep it for pool thats why i sent it away to get Re-Furb and Alterd to Pool Specs by Tony Glover who will back me up as i knew i wont see another like this well i havent for 30+yrs! and im not gonna say what the Offer was but i will say im gutted i didnt take it...ha ha

    I would like to say i am not skint nor desperate for the Money so there will be no rush on my part, I would like it too go to a good home were its gonna be used.

    Somebody looking for a Lovely Maple Cue wont be disappointed as its not this New Bleach Crap Maple this is Genuine Old Lovely Maple.

    Don't start letting facts get in the way of a sales pitch Stupree - it's absolutely not the case that the riley diamond was a bottom of the range cue, for which they used the cheapest timber and sometimes applied colored laquer to cover it up. It's rare rare rare I tell thee.

    If people can show me a few of these or even ONE Like it maybe i would change my Opinion but til i see "ANOTHER" or Others i will keep saying it is Very Rare as when there isnt another like it thats whats sort after not the Name on the Badge!
    To be fair Gareth if I had have kept rubbing this would have turned out similar...

    Gareth,

    I do actually like the cue but I know that this is not a rare or prized example of this, if it was I am sure you'd know a chap who is a Riley collector who'd bite your hand off. It may catch someone's eye as a desirable cue but not rare nor prized.

    Cheers m8.

    As i keep telling People a Cue or Any Item is Only Worth what somebody is willing to Pay! so if i put it up for £2000 it will Only fetch what somebody is willing to Pay for it and that Amount will depend if the Specs Suits them.

    I would also like to see a few of these in Your Collection Mike or One will do? as I have had 1000's of Cues and seen many 1000's in Person and Online Inc: eBay, Collectors Websites etc if thats what you call a few of them which look a joke! and I have Never Ever see one like it on any of them so i would say that it is quite rare wouldnt anybody else??

    If people can show me a few of these or even ONE Like it maybe i would change my Opinion but til i see "ANOTHER" or Others i will keep saying it is Very Rare as when there isnt another like it thats whats sort after not the Name on the Badge!

    Also i would like anybody to show me a Piece of Maple as Good as this for Under £200 as i havent come across any for 30+yrs!!

    Give the guy a break

    If you're going to make statements like that, I think you need to elaborate.
    Many many eh? Give me say 3 example then please - shouldn't be difficult as you have "many many". I find that odd since I probably make offers on less than 10 cues a year, most of which I actually buy?

    I think you need to be more careful when you name drop people trying to sell your crap for 2 or 3 times what its worth, or I'll continue to point it out to people.

    Were did i say its worth £200 or were does it Say Andy Said £200? are you completely senile as im abit worried about you.

    I can Assure you Andy did not say this is a "Bog Standard Riley Diamond with Poor Quality Butt"......And anybody who knows "Anything about Cues" will know this also.

    Im willing for Andy to Call anybody who is interested in this Cue and you will hear out of the Horse is mouth yourself what he thinks of this Cue not what this Senile Nutter thinks!

    If i had Anything to hide do you think i would have Named dropped in the first place! and how many times do i have to tell you and others i had to put Price for Panjo!!!...."LISTEN FOR GOD SAKE".

    And you are a fine one saying im after 2 or 3 Times what its worth! when i have heard many many stories about your Pittance Offers so i would leave it there if i were you.

    And you can Continue to Point out what ever you like, as the only one your Kidding is yourself and maybe a few followers you have if you have any that is? because anybody reading this or Anybody who has had your Offers in the Past will have a Good Laugh what your Writing!!....Including myself....ha ha ha

    Another keyboard warrior who comments on something he obviously has no idea in or interested in it amazes me why people think it's good because all it makes them look a worse tit than they already are.
