So....I am so tired. Been working a lot of hours. I would love to try to find one of you guys to go look at this cue for me. It is a pick up only deal and it's in Aurora Colorado. But I don't have the time or the energy to try to arrange anything. So here it is. I have been watching this too long.



Sometimes on this site they mix up pictures and this could be that...and sometimes they just list things wrong and you find a gem. I have found a few gems due to the listings being wrong.

In this case, you can see what the listing says it is, and you can see what the cue looks like. Obviously not a match.

If the cue is the one in the picture it's a helluva nice deal. And the listing says it is an actual picture.

Listed as a Dufferin for $39.95, but this is the picture:

If you want to do a brother a favor and go check this out for me and buy it, I will pay for it and pay you something for the effort and the shipping.

You want to go snag it for yourself? Go for it. No harm, no foul.

I haven't even been able to make the time to call them to ask if the picture is correct. This is the busiest week of the year for me. Trying to get young doctors into residencies. I am running on empty. Bordering on burnout.

Just do me a favor. If you snag it, post your findings here. Everybody likes a good cue story and pictures. It may be a nice find. :smile: If it turns out to be a turd, post that too so I can stop watching the darn thing every day on my second monitor.



To those of you that play this game, I wish you good cue sleuthing. If you didn't know about Buya.com, now you do.

I bought it. Who wants to make $50 to pick up a cue and mail it to me?

OR BRING TO SBE
 
Sure thing, it's worth a $40 gamble. Where's cuesblues or Cuebuddy? I know you're both in CO

It's definitely worth it. Even if it is a Dufferin it is worth that.


Glad it was you that snagged it. :):thumbup:


I would have, but I just can't guarantee that I can follow up on anything right now. I am just too busy. I have just been watching the darn thing. Like a kid watching a piece of cake...LOL!


Hell, I am still in my office right now.


It looks like it's in pretty darn nice shape from what we can see.

FWIW - there is a Sampio Premier that they will ship... but it's 500 bucks.

The Pawn Shop figured out what they had and canceled the order AFTER I arranged a guy to go pick it up for me and he showed up with my receipt.

Thanks for being douchebags, Jumping Jack Cash!!!

Wow.


They just figured it out?

That thing was listed for a while.


Jackasses.

It looks like I am a little late to this party:o. I would have certainly did my best to help you guys out on picking up this cue. I collect vintage cues and that price was a steal. A few thing don't seem right to me on this one.

How anyone could have mistaken a Hoppe for a Dufferin is beyond me. Most old Brunswick cues will have a label on them denoting what you have. And most Duffs do also.

The pin seems longer than most Professionals I have seen and the signature looks a bit high on the forearm. I will admit the pic is not great. Anyway it sounds like the cue is gone.

Sometimes its too good to be true.
 
Some Good Samaritan called and offered double, I'm guessing

Yeah....that would figure.


Should have just called you and told you to go after it.


I was frustrated, near burn-out, and though it would be fun. I think some jackass pulled a bonehead maneuver. Over a cue worth a couple hundred......

I have bought several misidentified cues from pawn shops on that site.

Yes...they can easily label a Brunswick Hoppe cue a Dufferin...it would not be the first time.

Yes, that cue has odd features but for sure worth 39 bucks IMHO.


This happens on Ebay as well. In fact some cues are occasionally listed outside the pool and billiards category.


There is an improperly identified cue right now on Ebay. But there usually are.....:wink:


I found a Huebler on craigslist that was being given away with a cheap ($100) table. You could only see the bumper in the pic. I made an offer on the cue.

I found a Brunswick Hoppe cue in excellent near new condition that was in the background of a picture of some junk cues. Got it dirt cheap.

I found a Katz butterfly with veneers cue in near perfect condition, again listed with junk cues.



Sometimes too good to be true. But I just bought a nice Pechauer cue for $20.....just by paying attention. :wink: :D
