guycrunch said:that looks like the gus on the cover of snap magazine form may/june 1991. i think fast n loose is making a tribute cue about this cue. there is a matching fellini case that goes with this cue. i had believed it was in the glenn family collection. maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

The location says "Stuck on the freeway in LA".TheMarsMan said:It also says in their description that they charge California sales tax, but ebay lists their location as Louisianna.

My guess is that it is a fake auction, but who knows maybe it is real. I asked if I can inspect the cue before the auction is over and if they would use an escrow service. Their response to these two questions will probably tell me what I need to know.
If anyone has any additional information please let us know.
there are a couple of things that scare me 10 item location stuck in the freewayinla. the other auctions state sunland cali, 2 ) this is the only auction that does not accept paypal? he has not gotten back with me i emailed to one of his earlier auctions to see if it is the same guy calling back? just a little fishyCueJunkiee said:

cueaddicts said:yeah....at least that. the cue screams gus imo, but whether the auction is legitimate is an entirely different question/issue.
hangemhigh said:Mark has a rosewood box cue type Szamboti on his site for 75k. What would a refinish do for this cue? Add to the value or detract? I think, if this is indeed a Szamboti, that the real players will be out in force and on their doorstep at the end of the auction.It should be very entertaining to watch the final few minutes.Mr. mtpocketsforu, do you have your finger on the trigger? Papa Pete would surley want to add this to his stack of Szambotis. The seller is gonna have a heck of a final value fee if it is authenic. The lack of comments by the experts here also speaks volumes.

But I think for the money I would call and see if he did it. I would not buy anything like that until Mr. Barry looked in his fathers order book authinticating the order and the cue by personally inspecting the cue.
Investments should be done with as little speculation as possable!
