Great information, Deep. Thank you! 🙏

That’s amazing, Mr D. I’ve always found Japan to be super expensive.

Beautiful set, Mr D. Congratulations!

Hello, Mr B. Yes indeed, sir. A few of us were privately discussing the fact that the fellow with a low feedback score had placed 72 bids in his eBay history, 57 of which were on items listed by this same seller. That does seem suspicious however one slices it. That noted, however, this...

All great questions, HKC. As I’m sure you already know, sir, straight underscores usually indicate an earlier vintage. I must confess that dating Aramith sets by width of stripe had never occurred to me before. Alas, Boxcar does not frequent the forum anymore. He would have been the gentleman...

Well that was exciting. A flurry of activity at the auction end with the hammer eventually coming down at $2,630.99. I tip my hat to the new owner. And it’s good news for all us collectors… our passion is clearly shared and special sets appreciated

The Cardball v2 set could go yet higher, Mr B, because the current high bidder has raised his reserve bid. Regards the ivory ban on eBay, sir… I have reported countless infringements and eBay have totally ignored me every single time. I will carry on regardless because it is an issue close to...

Hello, gentlemen. There is a 1989 Cardball v2 set on eBay (not mine). Bidding currently stands at $1,905 with five days remaining in auction. https://www.ebay.com/itm/306520242742?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Great purchase, sir! You should be able to acquire a period correct cueball quite easily. 👍

Nice one, Mr D. That appears to be a v2 glow-in-the-dark 8 from Aramith, dear chap.

I’ve found someone in San Jose with the Club Queen ball you need, Robert. He is selling a mixed lot of balls, including the queen. Perhaps contact him, sir, and ask if he will sell a single ball? https://www.facebook.com/share/1CHZsESZZR/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Hello, Robert. Thank you so much for taking the time to read through the entire thread, sir. I am heartened indeed that you found it entertaining and informative. I will keep my eyes peeled for the two Tru Line balls you need, dear chap… they do appear sometimes so don’t give up hope. I stand...

A self-levelling table? I’m sure this has probably been tried before… presumably to limited success.

I’m reasonably confident it wasn’t an April Fool prank. Alas, it now seems like a case of an enthusiastic fellow with an idea that didn’t work out. It is a shame that Jack has gone quiet on us, but hopefully it will be a lesson learnt for the next time and he’ll try again. 👍

It truly is a wonderful set, sir. Hearty congratulations, dear fellow. Your collection might not yet be great in size, but it sure is great in rarity and quality. Bravo!

What is the best way to protect oneself when selling an expensive item on eBay, ladies and gentlemen?

Awesome acquisition for your collection, Mr M. Thank you for sharing the image, sir.

Hello, Mr M. 🙂 Thank you so much for taking an interest and the kind words, dear chap. It is twenty plus years since I created Dublin Chemmy and drew that little game card. I’m getting on a bit in age now, sir, and am embarrassed to admit that I cannot recall much about the finer details of...

I haven’t been there for years, but at Amsterdam Casino the cashier used to brazenly request a percentage of your tournament winnings “for the dealers” before handing over the cash. Many inexperienced players thought it was mandatory.

I think Bob might have one of those 3d sets for sale, Mr P.
