Ending this Sunday evening 9/13, I'm auctioning off my brand new Cocobolo and Ivory Ginacue. My guarantee is simple, 100% satisfaction or return for complete refund. If the buyer feels that their dissatisfaction is due to a misdescribed auction, I refund all the postage as well.

This cue is being auctioned with no reserve price. The high bidder will win the cue. This auction won't disappear suddenly. I don't end auctions early. I don't have items for sale locally. This auction will run to the end. Interested buyers will all have an equal chance to bid and win the auction.

This unique Gina features a highly figured Cocobolo nose and butt. There are ivory ferrules, ivory joint and a Gina logo ivory Hoppe ring. The trim rings are ivory blocks outlined in silver. The wrap is inside face Cognac elephant ear.

Included are Ernie Gutierrez Gina logo fancy ivory joint protectors

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.


Thanks

Kevin

Boy, this is one I am definitely interested in. I guess I'll just see how things play out.

Good luck with your auction.

Lord you have some beautiful cues! This cue will need no luck selling for a strong fair value! Are you Ernie's personal dealer?? Or only one?? Just curious.

Thanks. I guess the only question is what that strong market value is. Is it too early in the auction to ask for over/under figures?

Ernie doesn't have dealers. He sells cues to dealers, like Lucky in Japan or Bill at Cornerstone, but nobody reps him or gets a special deal (or so he tells me!). Just getting a Gina is deal enough. I pay what everyone that walks in the door pays. I just am able to sneak a bunch of orders in with him and know when a stray has become available. We play a lot of pool together.

I don't want to wax poetic about the guy, especially when I'm selling his product, but Ernie was making cues when Gus and George were making cues and he's still doing it, all day every day. He's a very proud man and a total craftsman and an artist, unfortunately there are fewer and fewer of those types around today. Ernie is certainly a Master of his chosen craft.

This cue is totally unique and very elegant. This is a great opportunity to have a very collectible and guaranteed fabulous hitting stick at a somewhat reasonable price. I'm sure it will go in the $$ area where seeing use as a player is not out of the question.

Thanks again

Kevin

GOTCHA!!!!!

Glad I came up with something that caught your eye.

You don't want to just see, you want to have some sort of hand in the outcome. Hopefully (for everyone but me) the thing won't go up 2K a day from now until Sunday. Everybody might be done, the next bid might be the last!

Thanks, and if you have any questions about the stick, let me know.

Kevin, thanks for your support. I wish I could bought this one before the auction started. If I am not lucky enough to acquire this one, I may just have Ernie build me something similar.

Take care,
JimmyK

Timing is everything. I wish I had bought the damn Gina Silver Cue along with 25 Guses and Georges in 1968. I don't think this stick will go far above what Ernie charged me. Its just fun to sell his stuff.

It seems that generally I get just a small premium for Ginacues as the waiting list is actually starting to lengthen a little bit (which is in no way do to him slowing down - he's made the same amount of cues per year forever).

I saw that cue we discussed in your avatar rotation so I'm thinking you have it? Do you like it as much as I did?

Kevin
 
Yes, I was able to make the deal for the snakewood Hoppe cue. It's definitely a very unique cue and I like it very much. The cue has a ton of ivory and Ernie finished it up with a fantastic piece of dark brown lizard.

Nice. Its a great cue. I'm happy to know where it is. Its a small thing but I like the Gina logo in the ivory Hoppe ring. A touch of class.

Bumping it back from page 8.

There's a little over 3 days to go to the end of the auction and the bidding is at $2,125, which is a heck of a deal on this stick.

Thanks for looking,

Kevin

I have added you to the approved bidders list and eBay should now accept your bid. You should try at least a test bid to make sure the change has taken effect and let me know if there is still a problem.

I can't ship any cue with ivory internationally, but if you win I will be happy to ship to Searing. Please no PayPal, I can't accept your Hong Kong PayPal and then ship to FL, but a wire transfer would be fine. Bid, win, wire transfer me the funds and I'll ship this cue to Searing.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

Thanks
