Hell, I think they should have their own forum. JV

JB, I get the occasional "family" or garage sale find, but it is WAY more people that are in pool. It is exactly as I said, they want to know so they can capitalize. In fact it just happened to me on FB. I sent him a link to our authentication/appraisal page and that was the last I heard from...

Aging hustler.. Vincent D'Onofrio, Steve Buscemi, Jeff Bridges, Denzel Washington, Ian McShane Young Prodigy.. Ortega, Maise (Arya Stark), Daisy Ridley, Tom Holland, Antagonist: Cillian Murphey, Tom Hardy JV

How much is my signed Balabushka worth? WOOHOO!!! If you bring an item to a qualified appraiser, you have to pay. Pool players want the safety of not leaving a dime on the table when selling, and they want that information for free. But then again, to save a buck they bring their own water to a...

It would be more realistic if it was a movie about a cuemaker that sold out to a Japanese dealer/collector in the 90's. Then all the American collectors hated him and called him bad names. Then when he was let go by the Japanese cuedealer, all the American Collectors, that swore they would never...

The last time Hollywood put a woman in a pool movie as the lead we got Whoopi Goldberg and that thing was the worst. So be careful for what you wish for. Keep your fingers crossed. Now when I see a woman in a lead role it starts to feel "forced" and Disneyesque. The last good woman sports lead...

At the end of the movie she plays Tom Cruise for it all... :) JV

Hot actress and a has been actor... https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/jenna-ortega-and-robert-de-niro-to-play-pool-hustlers-in-david-o-russell-s-shutout-for-rk-films-black-bear/ar-AA1Ec9xl?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=96c0e3db35e14255aee49ae83054de41&ei=16

Birdseye Kersenbrock.... with letter from Laurie... JV

All this is true and like pool, I am sure there are rich archers that buy the best and can't hit a bullseye and are often bested by better shooters with lesser equipment. Talent is talent, end of story. I would bet Stevie Ray Vaughan could have made a $150. Fender Squire sound like a $4000.00...

I think it is fantastic that there is a new crowd of flippers. I applaud anyone that sees a dwindling market and player participation, see's technology moving in an entirely different direction, and still thinks they can make a buck. In fact, I hear threaded socket fuses are making a comeback...

Goodwills have gotten smart, that is why they have an auction site. Finding a homerun as a GW or a SA is like hitting the lottery. They have spotters in the stores. You hardly find guitars anymore in the stores unless they are beat to sh*t, otherwise they are all on the auction page. JV

But it has always come down to one thing... integrity. Seems there was a little more of it, back in the late 80's through the 90's. Maybe it is generational, the same people who have second place trophies and entitlement think they can do whatever they want. Where the older set seem to be more...

Although I agree in principle.. a bad seller can get pummeled online, bad buyers seem to skirt. Maybe the playing field needs to be leveled. JV

People just do not know what constitutes good business. There are many irritating things that can happen in a transaction. You cannot count on a handshake agreement in todays world. Someone makes an offer, you accept and then bang... you do not hear from them. Now some people say, well you...

This was a great cue that came out of nowhere a few years ago... They are still out there... in closets and under beds... Maybe in some graves for those that might get buried with them. :) JV

This is for sure. My uncle won a tournament on a Tuesday, and weas leaving at 2 AM... someone jacked the battery out of his 71 Monte Carlo. He called me to come get him... we hung out at a diner on 22 till the Autopart store opened. JV

This is one of Gus's color combinations that I think stands out. Black/Red/Black/White. This cue has a stitched trim ring over the butt cap and the Bushka ring at the joint. This cue was played, not abused and I remember it as a very playing cue. JV

Joe was a good guy and he bought cue repair and making to the masses. Congrats... JV

Here is the same design cue with a more colorful veneer palate. Gus, like George, knew a good design. JV
