It appears that this cue has stalled out at $13,500 so my question for the group is this. What other way would you suggest I try to sell this cue other than letting people on this forum know about it as I have done? The whole eBay thing seems risky to me but I am open to all suggestions. Thank...

Thank you for the information.That is one more estimate to weigh supporting my thought on the value

I had stated earlier that I would keep the group informed as to the offers I have received for this cue. I have now received an updated offer of $13,500. I hope this information helps the group in general to know the current state of value for a cue of this type.

Sorry, I do not check this forum regularly. I heard the rumor about the possible confiscation and thought to myself now wouldn't that suck if after owning this cue for 40+ years and finally deciding to sell it that I might get it taken from me and get nothing....LOL. That's why I didn't come. It...

I have been scared off by the rumors of possible cue confiscation at the Expo so those of you that messaged me hoping to see my cue in person this weekend, I will not be there. Good luck in your pursuit of those rare Gus Szamboti's :)

Do people think there are enough cue buyers at The Super Billiards Expo at the end of March to justify taking a day drive to go there with this Szamboti?

I was wondering if anyone thought it would be a good idea to bring this cue to The Super Billiards Expo March 30-April 2 in Pennsylvania. I am an easy day trip drive from there but I don't want to go to all that hassle if people think it will not help me realize my asking price. Thanks in advance

Ok, it appears that this is winding down. The interest in the posts on AZB is interesting in and of itself as the post is active for a few days and then simply fades away. I received a few hundred messages from people regarding this Gus Szamboti and received a lot of help from many of you on...

I remember Rick Garrison as a little taller than average dark haired slight built guy with a short beard. He was a good short stop player in the late 70's to early 80's when I used to run into him in the Dayton/Cincinnati area. I would imagine he is in his 60's now

Another story I remember about this cue......I was at Starcher's Billiards in Akron, Ohio and I hadn't seen Gary Spaeth in a few years since I had moved. He was playing in a large tournament that Saturday and he somehow only had one shaft with him and he cracked the ferrule on it during one of...

Several hundred messages later people have been asking for more details about the cue so here are a few things I remember. I used to play a lot of pool with Gary Spaeth and he had a Szamboti as well as his dad Joey Spaeth who was also a fantastic player. Anyway, they are the ones that turned me...

It has been quite overwhelming actually but I have gotten a lot of wonderful help from some of the members to help me determine the fair value of this magnificent cue that I have owned my entire life almost. I know it is time to get this into the hands of someone else that can appreciate it as...

I am the original owner......Bought in about 1976....58 1/2 " 20 oz with 3 shafts that are approx. 13mm. I remember paying extra for the 3rd shaft, the silver ring at the top of the wrap, the inlays in the points, the dots at the top of the points and the barbells in the butt. I basically told...

I am charging my phone now and will upload a picture soon. I know it is 4.2 oz according to my postal scale I use for eBay. It is also 29 1/4" long and approx. 13 mm. I do not have a gauge here to tell you exactly
