Jimmy Reid Dvd's On E-bay...

Darth · Jun 28, 2008

My old friend Jimmy Reid has a great deal on E-Bay for his 5 DVD instructional collection. Jimmy has been fighting cancer for quite a while now and is in failing health. This may be the last chance for someone to own a piece of billiards history. Jimmy was voted 'best money player' by his peers and is a former world champion in 8-ball, 9-ball and one pocket. I've personally known Jimmy since the late seventies and he has always been a gentleman with me and taught me quite a few valuable lessons on the table. He had few equals as far as his pool knowledge and shows you everything he knows on the DVD collection. I own a set and they are worth ten times what you will pay for them through e-bay. I am not making anything for doing this for Jimmy and he doesn't even know that I am posting this on AZ. This is all about Jimmy Reid now. He deserves all the help we can give him. Here is the link to the new auction. Jimmy just put 2 more sets on E-bay. Thanks for the support you are showing my good friend Jimmy Reid.http://cgi.ebay.com/Pool-And-Billia...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1308&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14

I phoned him last month and he wasn't doing too well. He had a feeding tube inserted that had gotten infected and had to be taken back in to the hospital to get it re-done. He is still in good spirits for all the crap he's been through. It would benefit him greatly if more people would bid on his DVD's. It would make him feel better knowing that more people appreciated his lifes work.:thumbup:

Thanks for the update! Hope that he continues to be in good spirits and pray that his struggles with health take a turn for the better. I am sure that he has seen all the news from Gloucester lately.. I do miss that place sometimes and really miss Nick's. It was about the only thing to do in Gloucester especially in the winter... Nick Denikas and later his son Artie ran a tight shop in a tough town..
Good Times and Great Memories!

Bump for the Monday crew........

Mr Hoppe · Jun 30, 2008

I bought all of Jimmy's DVDs about a year ago, and just watched them again the other day. I had no idea who he was at the time, but since then I have been telling my friends that Jimmy has the best banking and kicking systems and instruction that I have seen on video, period. I have seen MANY MANY instructional pool videos, and I honestly think Jimmy's are among the absolute best. I look at it this way, if I'm willing to drop $1,500 on a cue, why wouldn't I invest $115 to get instruction from a champion and improve my play for life? Here is a link to Jimmy's web site.

I had no idea that Jimmy was sick, and I wish him the best. Please pass along my well wishes if you talk to him, and tell him how much I appreciate and value his contribution to pool.
Thanks.

I just saw the current price on this library of Reid DVDs, and someone is going to get a real steal here!!!

I kid you not, if you've seen Kinister the Monk, the Australian Oyster, the Pro Book series, etc, Jimmy's videos are MUCH better than any of these, especially for banking and kicking 1,2,3,4, and 5 rails. I play in a league once per week, and my team knows what I mean when I say "Thank you Jimmy" out loud after making one of these advanced shots to get myself out of trouble and win the game.

I tell anyone who is serious about improving their game that the videos they absolutely MUST get are Jimmy Reid's and Racking Secrets by Joe Tucker.

for a great deal.

Masirib5 · Jun 30, 2008

I won one of the sets! Great, I can't wait to learn from this pool master's teachings!!!!

Shawn Armstrong · Jun 30, 2008

So did I. I already own the Art of 8 Ball and No Time for Negative on VHS. I bought this purely for the second video, and to help out Jimmy. Tell Jimmy he's in my prayers.

JE54 · Jul 1, 2008

I got 1 too. Looking forward to seeing these dvd's.
Hope it helps Jimmy a little.

Jimmy Reid Health Update..............

I just posted on the main forum that I just got off the phone with Jimmy Reid and he received some encouraging news today. He had a CAT scan done and is now CANCER FREE!!! He still has other health issues keeping him weak but don't count him out. Jimmy said to thank everyone on AZ for their thoughts, prayers and support. He was amazed at the outpouring of love everyone has shown him in his time of need. I also wish to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart also for helping one of my friends.

Wednesday afternoon bumpski for some great DVD's.

Masirib5 · Jul 2, 2008

I thought that the eBay auction ended?

Just curious why the bumps after the auction ended?

I bought a set and I'm very happy to support Jimmy so this isn't a negative but just want to know the purpose of the bump.

Thanks!

Darth · Jul 3, 2008

There are more......................
