Honestly, I used to review Ebay daily looking for deals and just looking for a "deal". I seldom look and I am confused at people posting cues that are probably $5-8K cues for $50,000. There are a bunch of cues that I must admit I shake my head. Help this old timer - why in the heck would...

All - I guess I am a sucker for these simpler cues. Just back from a refinish and new wrap. Rick Howard did the refinish and he said he used old Blue Mountain wrap that he got from Richard decades ago. Rick made a new shaft and we retained the old orignal shaft that has been either...

I recently bought a KU bumper from the IDEOLOGIST, he asked if it arrived okay. Well since you mentioned it, I will tell you what my wife said as I was ripping into the package. "Who in the hell packaged that? It's safer than in Fort Knox!" "That must be very valuable" I told her us cue guys...

All - I was in a villa in Arezzo - Italy. It was over 1000 years old, and had been beautifully restored. Included in one of the rooms was this strange pool table. Please look at the shape and size of the pockets. The other thing is when a ball was pocketed the ball was contained in the...

Well a little over 18 years after putting my name on the list, I got my Southwest. It has an ebony nose and cocobolo base, 3 veneers. I specifically bought the King ostrich case to keep it in.

All - I thought the group might like to take a look at my latest. I picked up this cue butt only really cheap. I thought the bakelite plastic was very retro. When I bought the butt, I had him sent the cue directly to Rick Howard, my go to cue maker, for him to make a matching shaft...

I finally got the call from Laurie Franklin that my number had finally had come up. I got on the list in June of 2006 and her call came this May of 2023, (yep 17 years). While I have commissioned maybe 50 cues over the years, this is really the first time I have ordered a cue from an order...

Guys - I am cleaning out a bunch of stuff and have sold a bunch on Facebook Marketplace. But these I havent sold. This is a pile of joint protectors that I have accumulated over the years being one of those evil cue flippers. I am asking $25 shipped for the lot of these puppies. Seems...

Guys - I must have the wrong email for JB Cases. I sent him an email about a week ago with no response. Can someone send me a good email address to order a case? Thanks Ken

I was at the beginning of the DCC and someone said there were 500 bank players? That couldnt be right. Does anyone have the number of players in each discipline?

Guys - I am not bitching so dont think this thread is about that. In fact, I had to laugh a little. I sent a note to Laurie and told her that many years ago I asked to be put on her waiting list. I am usually pretty good about writing down dates, but this one I hadn't. I told her that...

I had the chance to play with a Bill McDaniel "Mac Attack" sneaky pete cue. For the love pool gods, that cue was incredible. I have tried to buy them when they came on the market, but never got it done. So any of youse guys that have em please post pictures of them....(and send me a note...

All - I admit I havent bought a cue from ebay in years. But for you folks that are pretty new there used to be some pretty good bargins on there, and frankly here on AZ. Seems like so many scams and horror stories have put a lot of old time buyers out of the market unless it is in person...

We havent heard much about Dippy in years. I was never a fan, but in an old thread, the partnership of Scott and Billy had collected $100K but was still owed $50K. What a cast of characters we have in the pool world. Ken

I have commissioned a ton of cues, but I have never just said, here is some money, build me a cue, ship to me when you are done. Have you ever had this experience? Would you like it or would you request input? Any thoughts? Ken

Years ago, I heard that cuemakers got some good wood from bowling alleys. I know nothing about it, but saw this ad and thought I would share. Marketplace - Wood bowling lanes | Facebook Just trying to help. Ken

Ugh this is killing me. Does anyone remember the TV show or movie that was about a possessed pool cue that had to be used to kill someone with and the pool player would become an incredible pool player for a while. Then the pool player had to kill another person to "recharge" the cue to make...

Well streamers - I have an idea.... Lets get these Kentucky boys in a head to head bank pool match. Maybe I have been watching too much YouTube and other streams but I think this would be an awesome match and stream. I guess this would be a great change from the normal matches we have seen...

Well Indiana hasn't been locked down, but my wife and I have spent several days inside. The only thing I have to do is play pool and some pinball....darn it. :thumbup:

My friend posted this to Facebook. It was so good I asked him if I could post it here. While I tend to agree with him, I have chilled out a little. My favorite post ever...from a few years ago. You know what’s changed? There are more raffles cause these dumb dicks over price it that way and...
