Here is my Tim Scruggs custom cue from the 80's

The butt has 4 ebony points with 4 veneers (black, red, yellow, and red). Each point has beautiful mother of pearl diamond inlays. There are no dings or flaws in the butt and this cue has the older TS logo contained on what I believe is a Delrin butt cap. The butt sleeve contains 4 pink ivory ovals with supernice mother of pearl diamond inlays in each oval. There are also mother of pearl dots in between each oval. The joint is stainless steel and there is also a beautiful new black leather wrap.

There are two shafts with aegis ferrules that hit very solid. They are both right around 13mm and the overall weight of this cue feels like 19.25 - 19.50 oz to me. The shafts roll straight together and apart. They show the normal playing wear for a cue of this age and there is nothing wrong with them.

I have personally played with this cue a few times. If you know the history of Tim Scruggs Custom Cues you know what kind of quality you can expect in the hit and appearance of his work. This is a supernice collectors piece or a great playing cue.

I am looking to unload this cue for $2000, if I can't get that I will gladly hang onto this cue... make me some offers, I will only make trades for TS cues. Only reason I choose to sell this is because I have 5 others I play with regularly.

Cheers,
Jim

Now selling at $2,200? Now that's what I call a markup!
 
I sold alot higher!

Sold it to the same guy twice for $1500. He had it refinished and added leather! Very high quality work. So there was at least $1800 in it easy!
And that was before Spank had it. Spank swapped to get it. No one has been disapointed with the cues playability at all! They just keep moving up!
Nice cue!

This is exactly correct!!! Newly refinished and brand new leather wrap. It certainly plays very well too, like all Scruggs of course. I originally paid $1800 for it off of ebay. I have since bought some other Scruggs cues and was looking to unload this one, I just won't end up playing with this one as often as I like, plus the shafts would need to be taken down for me. I ask for $2200 because I personally think the cue is worth it and this would help me recover some of the other cost I have endured lately... some may have a different opinion and that's fine. Make me some offers if your interested but I certainly won't be selling it for less than I piad considering Tim's cue will be going up in value considerably in several years.

Cheers,
Jim

I've seen that cue for sale a number of times.
 
hmm... I am new here and I am trying to figure out what this "bump" means. Does it mean your giving someone some props for a good thread or something?

Cheers
 
Yup!
