preferably non-US buyers because of the considerable amount of ivory content of my cue. it will be impossible for my cue to get past US customs unless it is hand-carried.

this is a unique cue and one of few Bebot Bautista masterpieces as i haven't seen many uncored pink ivory forearm made (if there's any out there as most are cored) while still maintaining cue balance considerably - without a weight bolt even.

kindle e-mail at thegeneral@australiamail.com for your kind offers.


thanks for looking.

She's a beauty all right!! - and it's truly sad you have to sell her but if someone does buy her perhaps she will make her way back home to you somewhere down the road -

Good Luck -

many thanks sir. i really am torn about this. it is a cue not only beautifully handcrafted, but it plays real solid. well, it's not sold yet... so i can still hold back my tears.

Since you cannot bear to sell of your beloved player, why dont you hang on to it? By doing so, you need not shed any precious tears since I believe that you are having so much fun with the cue now.

thanks. i wish i could. well, it's not really that i can not bear letting it go... the fact that i put it up for sale means i can let it go. it's more of a family priority more than anything. i'm still working out some things (outside pool) to be able to at least solve our immediate need. i don't want to borrow money so i really thought of selling my cue. i have already depleted most of my collection little by little, but this is one of my prized possessions.

That is truely impressive! Did you have that built for you or did you just buy it that way? Never seen that much Pink Ivory b4. What's the retail on something like that? Good luck with sale I think? OR Should I say good luck on no sale so you can keep it? Maybe?

Bump!

no sir, i had it made specifically to my specifications. Bebot Custom Cues only make cues upon order, customized to customer's specs and preference. for some who don't know, in our website (my website actually) www.bebotbautistacues.synthasite.com , it clearly states who i am and what part i play in Bebot Bautista Custom Cues. i practically handle the business as a direct partner, in-charge of answering inquiries, pricing, orders, payment & collection, and shipment - practically the whole customer service thing. bebot (cuemaker) is where he does his best - at his shop. :smile: if bebot will still attend to the things that i do, he will never finish the cues. right now we have 17 cues in-progress, and our waiting time is only 5-6 months tops. we have already shipped hundreds of cues to more than 20 countries in our 22 years in the business. if i don't play the part i play now, it might take a year or so as waiting time. we do not want that to happen for the sake of our customers.

sir deanoc, thanks for your kind words. i never meant any confusion and never did i mislead anyone since i set foot on azb. i always say & convey the message i am not the cuemaker, but i am the business generally. it's understandable some get the impression that i make the cues (how i wish!), that's why i explain from time to time. :wink: i also stated in my first post "Preferably non-US buyers because of the considerable amount of ivory." :smile:

Beautiful Cue - Good luck with the sale

btw, where's the picture taken? seems to be a nice pool hall

hi sir. the cue was taken from the best pool hall in our country, probably the best in asia in terms of equipment and amenities. it houses 24+/- brunswick metro tables, plus 2 gold crowns i believe. it is where the WTBC qualifiers is being held now. we get to play there for free, no charge at all, by membership only.

here are some more shots at the pool hall...



me making a break:



(backdrop shows a glimpse of how big the pool hall is. you only see 2 rows of tables... there's a 3rd row)



finishing a rack:






as we speak, the joint owner is building an adjacent TV Table 'building', complete with TV-Studio grade lighting and seats. it's a really nice joint. when any of you comes here, i would gladly take you there myself. don't worry, it's free.
