Big fan of 70's. 80's, 90's cues. Mainly Meucci or Huebler. I'm looking to add a few new cues to my collection this month.

At least 2 points or some ring work and or inlays. I have too many of the plain janes.

Please reply in a PM with what you have an what your willing to take for it shipped to PA. Pictures help too!

I prefer to use PayPal G&S.

Thanks!

I sort-of know the guy who runs that site (Bert Piepers) but I've never done business with him. Never heard a bad story, I must say. But always be careful with cues! There are more knock-offs on the market than most people know, and a "certificate of authenticity" is photoshopped in minutes.

If you ask the right questions and it seems legit, I would buy it. Sometimes folks need to sell for personal reasons, they get an air barrel "hold" cue or they just broke up with their g/f that gave them the cue.

But sometimes, things are too good to be true...

If it's hard to tell, I pass.

I wanted to add this to an existing Dufferin thread. I figured people would be thrilled with resurrecting a thread started by justinb386 as well.

I have several Dufferins in storage but came on these more recently. I didn't pay much attention to the ones I had in the past, just kept them. I don't even have any records or pics of them, so I don't even know what I have.
That has changed.

I got the butterfly recently on AZB which had the proprietary 5/16x14 Glider Joint pin (similar to the Pechauer Speed Joint) with a standard 5/16x14 pin. It came with a 28 inch shaft, but I have a like new 29 inch original that fits perfectly. And of course, other shafts now fit with the standard pin. I also got the middle cue and green leaf cue.

The butterfly cue plays excellent with the Dufferin 29 shaft, and of course Joss, Scruggs, etc. shafts..

Quiz: Do any of you know what that middle cue is? (Yes, I do.) The same Dufferin shafts do fit it, notice the pin is stainless and not brass though.

Does anybody have any idea if the Pechauer piloted Speed Joint shafts fit this pin? I have one, but it's in storage.

Nice cues. Good thing about ebony Dufferins, is they're a lot easier to find than ebony Titlist blanks. Plus, you have the option of finding those with the butterfly splice section. Nice looking.

I play in crocs. No socks. During long sessions I stick my feet in the toilet and flush to refresh myself.

Favorite things about Facebook:

Can't find an item I was just looking at because FB refreshes the page so I'll see different ads. The "reels" interface is a joke.

Stolen cartoons from The Far Side and several other cartoonists that are certainly copyright violations.

Offers of forged US Forever stamps at less than 50% of face value. I was seeing these every day for a while. Reported. No action.

Offers of "friendship" from the accounts of beautiful young women who have developed a consuming interest in my comments about billiard rules. I sometimes get several a day of these, which is more than I can handle. If anyone would enjoy a friendship with such a beautiful young woman, let me know and I'll pass "her" information along to you along with some interesting rules you can share with her. I suspect an account mill in India as the source of these accounts.

On the pool groups, all the idiots drowning out any rational discussion. I suppose it is the same or worse in other groups.

FB is a cesspool. There are parts of it that are a little less shitty.

All spot on.

For as much money and resources FB has, its got to be the worst possible UX design.

With all the ai crap, I'm surprised as hell FB can't auto-ban all the fake scam ads and accounts. They are so easy to spot. (usually).

These old ADAM's have actually gotten collectible in the last few years. Back in my day you only bought one if you couldn't fade the price for a 'real' cue aka JOSS, Gina, etc. I had a couple Rempe models that played ok but nothing like the Joss i got afterwards. Price is prob. between the two say 300max. You see them listed for stupid money on fleabay but they never go for those prices. OP has a good player but nothing like he hopes.

I agree with your estimate. In really good condition $300. The misspelling gives a small boost in value because it is more rare and the earliest release.

In my opinion a 225 dollar(when new) in descent shape is a 75 dollar cue. Price for me doesn't scream stolen.

I'll set this up on my table later and try it. Here are some visual guides to try to duplicate the exact layout on a real table. The thickness of hit will affect the reverse option for sure.

For Pool Halls. I believe that almost all pool halls have carpet because not everyone thinks about footwear and they want people to rent tables as long as possible.

If the pool hall doesn't have carpet, I assume its because people like to be loud and spill their beers. Probably a good place to make money but not practice.

My experience is the carpet in the pool halls I’ve frequented is industrial grade carpet that gets installed over a cement floor. The carpeting is not padded, is thin without much nap for easier vacuuming and is used to make the room look better than with painted cement floors. It also helps protect the errant pool balls that tend to periodically fly off the table and land on carpeting instead of cement dribbling around the pool room after being launched. In other words, for foot fatigue or overall comfort, it is one rung above standing on concrete. Anyone that has ever worked a trade show at a conference center or arena can attest that your feet do not fare well standing for an extended time on a hard surface covered with only industrial carpeting. The best answer is wear comfortable foot wear and change socks……it really does help avoid foot fatigue.

At least there were pool rooms back then! If you stole a cue from a pool room today you may have to travel for hours to find another pool room. Pawn shops usually ask for ID in most states if they buy something.
Online sale today most probably.

This is 25-30 years ago. You are shooting pool; guy comes up to you and offers a cue for sale.

It's about a $200-225 new price cue, in decent shape, rolls straight on the table and rail, both together and apart.

He wants $75. Do you buy it, or take a pass?

I bought it but caught grief from the guys I was playing with for "buying an obviously stolen cue".

What say the assembled masses?

I got my block letter Joss with two shafts and a Fellini case in 1985 for $35. No regrets.

It was not stolen. I know where it came from. The cue belonged to an old road player that died. He left no family and had a pauper's funeral. He had left the cue behind the bar where he had been playing lately. My friend was the bar manager and sold it to me.
