My cues these days / may want to sell a few

Michael Andros · Jun 9, 2019

I need some advice I think. I am thinking of selling a few of these but I'm not sure I really want to part with any. But I should. I only play with 3 or so and I hate the idea the others are just gonna sit in cases in the dark, all lonely and ignored... I am definitely NOT selling the Tad, the JW or the Dave Brainard Titleist. But the Meuccis and the Joss could be fair game. I really do need some advice.

And the two custom Meuccis.

We hold on to so many things that are unnecessary.
I have watched a few of those shows about people
living in those tiny houses. When they move
from a normal size house they talk about all
the stuff we have that we dont need or use.
These moves force them to evaluate their stuff
and get rid of all the fat. I have recently got
rid of, sold, and given a great deal away to those
who will get more use out of it then I was.
Feels pretty good.

We could all learn alot from old George

I've given away so many things in my life but my cues won't be among them. They're too expensive! :grin:

Yup, saw it. I was simply apple-ing and orange-ing my own experiences giving things away as opposed to what I won't be! :grin:

Funny, I just did a spring cleaning.. got rid of a lot
of extra stuff, old speakers, a turntable I thought I'd
fix, two sets of golf clubs.. etc.
Felt good getting rid of extra junk and clutter...

I don't think you'll miss the Meucci's.. they're cool
but you've got a Tad, a JW and that Titlist.. I'm on the
fence on the other Joss.. you might want to take a
cheaper player out.

Yeah, Run, I'm on the same page. When I bought that Joss in 16, I HATED the shaft. I ended up getting 2 more and I hated them as well. So I NEVER used it. But, @ 6 months ago, I had a local cue maker put a longer ferrule on one of the shafts and turned it down to match the taper on my Huebler/Meucci I've had for 40 years. So now I love the way it hits balls, but, I'm using my Titleist and ( now ) the new JW almost exclusively. But of those 3, the 2 Meuccis and the Joss, I would probably lean toward keeping the Joss. Hitting aside, it's a GORGEOUS cue. Dunno... it's a problem I'm sure lots would like to have, but... I really do feel like I need to off a few if not all three.

My advice is list them for sale.

I have no need for stuff I don't need. I get it though, selling is a pain and some stuff is worth just enough that you don't want to throw or give it away. Price them reasonably and they will be gone quick. Price them like you don't want to sell them and they won't.

You're correct of course. But the advice I need is, really, whether I *should* sell them or not. I wouldn't have a problem pulling the trigger once I decided.

Thnx for the input.

My advise is get them out of the cases
and enjoy them. There are lots of different
display cases to be had.....If you don't
need the money just enjoy them.
Or send them to me I promise to enjoy them.
