The Unthinkable...I cannot believe I have to sell her

There's no way I can sell this cue without a story why. This cue was never meant to be sold. Ever. Then again...there are a lot of things that have gone on recently that were never supposed to happen. Suppose that's life. Went out on Fat Tuesday with a friend to hang out and party a bit. I had too much to drink, so I gave up my keys. I didn't anticipate however, that my buddy would procede to get hammered as well, and try driving the car. He'd already had 2 prior DUI's, and is facing a 3rd. He was also on a suspended license, and he's going to do some time. Me...I spent all day yesterday downtown with the Philadelphia Parking Authority. I spent $850 paying his fines (I needed to to get my car out of impound), paid $360 for the tow & storage, and $150 for the public defender. My insurance doesn't cover damaged done to the car by a driver under the influence, or a suspended license, much less both. So...yeah...I make the right decision NOT to drive...and I STILL end up in hock for a small fortune. And I still have to pay for the repair work. I don't even want to get into THAT is running me. So...yeah...boo hoo. I need to generate some money in pretty short order. I have a number of obligations to meet during the Expo, and I just don't have another means to make ends meet other than this.

It would mean the world to me...if anyone pulls the trigger on this offer...if I'd have the opportunity to buy it back at a 10% higher cost when I get through this, and get myself situated again. I'm not asking for charity. I don't want anything for free (unless you're offering LOL).

Without further adieu...here she is. You all know her.

Rosewood forearm and butt, pink ivory handle and points (8)
Gorgeous friggin' ringwork
2 shafts @ 13 mm

Amazing caps created by Alton Takata, some of the finest ever.

*ABSOLUTELY NO TRADES FULL OR PARTIAL*

Shes in absolutely immaculate condition, and THE best playing cue I have had the privilege of playing with my 31 years on God's green Earth. I seriously have tears in my eyes as I post this. God I love this cue.

$2900

I'll take $3100 however, if you're feeling generous. *laughing*

What damage was done to the car?

Smashed a Lexus RX300 into a concrete pole inside a parking garage in downtown Philadelphia. Both airbags deployed. Front passenger side bumper, fender, hood..... You name it. It took one helluva thump...there's no doubt about that. I had it towed straight from the impound to the place where I've had all my prior body work done. It's going through an estimate as we type.

Sorry to hear about your luck.

I would have anticipated a buddy who already has 2 dui's to have probably gotten hammered as well and gave my keys to someone more responsible. Oh well that's just me.

I will try to sell off some of my stuff, if I can sell off some of my stuff I will then try to buy your cue. In the meantime good luck with everything.

*laughing* Oh...but there's the rub. There were three of us that went out. I gave them to the responsible one. He decided to jet early...and gave them to the other guy. The rest is...well...history.

The cue has a bite already...but if it falls through, I'll certainly keep you in the loop, boss.

You guys are awesome. I can't even express how many kind words, and how much generosity has been extended to me already. Don't make me sob like a lil ***** with a skinned knee, dammit. *laughing*

Oh...I'll get it back come hell or highwater. I'm definitely trying to move this with the sole intention of getting it back in as short order as possible.
