Is there a reason for the size difference? Someone thought a 10ft table required larger balls?

I recently made a deal to buy a USED mezz cue and shaft from a guy in Toronto. We haggled a bit on price but ended up at a price, SHIPPED, that we could both live with

I paid him via PayPal, friends and family. All good so far.

Next day, Paypal hits me with a $31 transaction fee. No explanation since it was not a G&S transaction.

Then the cue got stuck in customs for a couple of days but eventually made it to me after a little more than a week later.

THEN, the bills came.. Duty fees, and Trump Tariffs, etc... another $46.50 in fees.

In the end, if I had known that I would have almost $100 in fees to buy this used cue from an AZB member in Canada, I would never have bought it.

Buyer beware

You normally post a lot of good stuff, but this is complete BS. The current situation has nothing to do with the current administration, WTF are you smoking?

Apparently he soaks Triangles in milk before he presses them like a milk dud.
Well his daughter had a child about a month ago and he told me that he used mother's milk on the Triangle before pressing it. I kid you not.
Didn't know what to say.
Loving the shaft and tip.
Only in the pool world.

Available now is a beautiful Tascarella Cue. It comes out of a private collection and has not been played, just a few test hits with one shaft. The second shaft is brand new. The cue is in pristine condition, as if it came out of the shop yesterday. It is a four point cue with ebony and maple veneers. The forearm is birds eye maple and the butt sleeve is figured ebony. Each point has a slotted abalone diamond and 3 abalone dots. There are three Buska nickel silver rings above and below the wrap and one above the delrin butt cap. Each pair of nickel silver rings has 7 nickel silver diamonds in them. The cue is 58” split evenly with a 5/16x 14 stainless steel joint. There are 12 classic abalone split diamonds along with 12 abalone dots in the butt sleeve. The wrap is white Irish linen with green spec. The butt weighs 16.6 oz. The shafts are 13 mm and 13.2 mm and are 4.1oz and 4.4oz. The shafts have 1” IV ferrules with water buffalo hard tips.

Had the tip changed out by a local guy to a hard pressed triangle. At 74 playing the best pool of my life believe it or not.

It's been like this since the beginning of time. Nothing to do with the current administration. The amounts may have varied over the years slightly. That's why international shipping is ALWAYS a pain in the ass, and most people avoid it at all costs.
