    Craigslist seller of cuemaking business that takes 3hrs/day, no advertising, high profit-margin, and provides good living

    How much of this Craigslist ad from Athens, Georgia is true? I presume the $125 is incorrect (maybe something like Facebook's $1,234 for sales of multiple items).

    ❗Installing weird yellow square tips on cue shaft ❗

    Amazon sells square cue tips for about $5 each. I used sandpaper and metal files to form the tip. It shaped fine with a Last4Ever tool. It appears to be some kind of layered ceramic material. A knife could scrape rather than cut the surface. The square tip barely scratched a phenolic resin...

    Decal cues are the best

    Its Year 2025 and cues should start looking different. Evo Cues look good, fiberglass, 5/16x18, $125 Gemstone and $80 Pirate. Viper's Dia de los Muertos is good. What about Meucci's $1100 Hall of Fame 6 --- is that a decal for the city skyscrapers?
