OK, how about this for a quick sale....
I will do the cue for $2700 shipped....
AND
If you are prepared to send as a gift on paypal, I will do it for $2600!!
If it doesn't sell soon at this price point, I am sticking it away for a while.
(I just heard from my good German buddy Maik that he is happy to take this cue with him to the SBE for personal delivery, or course it would have to be paid for before he sets off)
