OH MY GOD!!! Please check under the bumper for my initials: KCV..........
No luck my friend. Your initials are definitely not under the bumper of my cue. Did you have one that was stolen? I know Andy has built a ton of these jump breaks over the years.
Cocobolo if I'm not mistaken. Like the way he leaved the exposed milled wood at the joint. Makes it interesting and gives it some style. I wonder why more cue makers don't do this? It gets rid of an unnecessary plastic dampening ring too.

i was at Felt one day and a stranger walks in with a Schon cue and a soft case.Said he was a pot head and needed the money to buy some. He started out at $300 and finally came down to $150 and before I could say sold someone else beat me to it.
We looked the cue up on line and it was selling for around $600 new.
It was in great shape.
Got to love the legal pot here. :grin:

Well that just made my day! Great acquisition, by the way.
Jail? Come on man I don't deserve that. Jail sucks. It's cold in there. It takes a TON of damp toilet paper to cover up those air vents in the ceiling. Double the regular amount if you have bad aim lol
I like the look of that as well.
The samsara jump break tip will be installed tomorrow!

Not wishing you any bad luck but this reminded me of something that happened to me in 1996. I had mentioned to several of the owners of the local places I was playing in that I was looking for a new cue by a certain maker. I got a call from one of them that a player was in his place wanting to sell one. I go over and he is wanting to sell this cue for $350.00. The going price then for a new one is $800.00. I ask all the questions. "No it's not stolen. I just really need money right now." The room owner says "I know this guy I don't think you have anything to worry about, or I wouldn't have called you."
I take the cue home and play on my home table with it for a week. It was the best hitting cue I had ever played with until that time. This is 1996.
I then get a visit at my office from the detectives. The cue had been stolen from a pool hall display case in a nearby city. They had offered a reward for it's recovery and someone playing in the pool hall where I purchased it witnessed the transaction.
The thief goes to jail (this was not his only crime). I get no restitution and am out the $350. No cue and no money.

You don't live around Crossville, Tn. do you?
That's some tough luck there. Sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how pissed you were.

No, but my wife grew up in Bells, near Jackson, TN. This happened in Louisiana.
Yes, pissed would be an understatement. I had an interesting discussion with the room owner and I got some concessions from him. Not enough to make me whole but it helped. He eventually went belly up.
Just wanted to say it pays to be cautious when doing those kind of deals.

I hear you. The guy was bringing a predator sneaky up to the pool hall to sell to my buddy. It was my buddies old cue that he sold the guy a while back and he was buying the cue back from him. It was a friend of his. He was buying the cue back from him because the guy is going through money troubles or so he says. Not my place to judge. My buddy has known him for years. His name is on the side of the cheap case he have me to carry the cue home. Plus my buddy knows him. So if for some reason this deal is not legit he can be found. My buddy that I've known for years said to go for it. I trusted him and got a great deal in the process. I'm good with it.
Oh and I had the samsara jump break tip installed today and the cue hits a ton! I love it.

You got a good deal paying $200 for it and helped someone else. I don't like taking advantage of people hard up for money so good you did not lowball on an already good deal.
