    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I have a friend who does excellent repair work with all of the equipment. I can furnish the tip and he charges me 10 bucks. Perfect work and a no brainer for me.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    That's great. Pre-internet I was not as fortunate selling some of my production cues. Very small market at the time.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I recently purchased a beautiful Tascarella from Kenney and the process with him was excellent. We corresponded by phone and text, Kenny was very responsive with additional photos and videos, the cue was exactly as described, he shipped on time and the packaging was very well done. Next time...
