Cue on eBay I don't sell on eBay as a business. I just enjoy working on cues. I buy, sell and trade cues and other billiards memorabilia and hopefully break even. Sometimes I customize older cues and resell them to players who like the older traditional designs. If my intent was to deceive...

Balabushka Style Cue on eBay I just wanted to let everyone know that I never intended to deceive anyone. I thought the cue came out great, and I just wanted to see what kind response it got with a somewhat generic listing. In the words of Forrest Gump "I'm not a smart man...". I've relisted...

Jerry Rauenzahn I was about to post a similar question. Hopefully everything is okay. Maybe the weather knocked everything out or maybe it's just the expo. Tommy

There's a really nice original BBC 360 listed on eBay currently. Brunswick 360 cues were made over 100 years ago. Has any modern cue builder replicated one? Tommy

Does anyone have a Ron Thomas 1X2 in Embossed Black Gator they want to sell? I might also be interested in something else similar. Thanks, Tommy

I thought everyone might like to see the Titlist conversion Jerry just finished for me. Red mahogany WWII era Titlist conversion with ivory joint, buttcap and inlays. Check out the matching JPs! Tommy.

Skip Weston Does anyone know if everything is okay with Skip or if he just has a new email? My emails are being returned and I only get his answering machine by telephone. Tommy

Hi West, Black shafts are top quality. No doubt about that. However, the GB-3 is just an older modified cue I keep around for when I'm going to be playing in some low life bar. Thanks for the offer though. Tommy

Does anyone have an extra Adams Balabushka shaft they're not using? (I need the older style with the thick silver ring and wood piloted joint that will fit a GB-3.) Tommy

I'm pretty sure the first case was sold by Brunswick of Canada in the 1970s as a package deal with a Dufferin made Willie Mosconi cue. The second case is a Brunswick case sold from the late 1950s through the 1960s. Tom

You alternate in nearly all sports. Tennis, basketball, football, etc.

Brass Jointed "Balabushka?" on eBay If any of the bidders on the wrapless Balabushka that just sold on EBay gets a second chance offer, I can provide pictures of an identical cue marketed by Brunswick. (I can't post them here because my files are encrypted.) Tom

I assume your asking because of the "Balabushka" currently on eBay. Why hasn't anyone mentioned that the cue in the eBay auction is obviously not a Titlist blank, as he claims? I'm almost completely certain that this is an Asian made production cue from the early 1970s. I had an identical cue...

The Hi-Run was part of the BBC series that included Challenger, Tru-Balance, Titlist, Hoppe Pro, etc, but they only made them for a couple of years. BBC made Hi-Run cues in the late 1930s with the old BBC label. Then, when the line switched over c 1940, they continued to make them for a couple...

If anyone has a BBC Hi-Run Cue in decent condition for sale or trade, I would be interested. My email is tecunningham@hotmail.com. Thanks, Tom
