What’s the worst cue you’ve ever bought?

My first cue was one of those carved wood cues where the butt came apart and had a couple of washers around each joint - I think it was around $20 at Kmart, Sears, or whatever big box sports stores were around at that time. You know, the ones you see on ebay now that say "vintage" and try to sell for a crazy amount of money.
After that I moved to a big box store Dufferin - pretty sure it was just solid brown with that horrible brass joint. You know it's quality when the pin is in the shaft! At least that was the joke from all of my friends. It was a gift from my girlfriend, so I used it until we broke up.
After that break up I picked up a warped Mali from a pawn shop. Ended up playing the guy that sold it to the shop. Didn't know it was warped until he pointed it out. I think I paid $80 for it and he said he sold it for $40. Then I proceeded to lose another $40 to him!
Eventually bought a Meucci that I absolutely hated. Was pretty happy when it broke.
Had a Cuetec that I hated as well - back when wearing a glove to play pool would get you beat up.
Found several of those "vintage" cues on eBay!
