Just a thought!

Hi Jim,

You might wanna check with the local bars, fraternal clubs, etc. to see if they have any old cues lying around the backroom You might find some interesting candidates needing a little TLC

Old Bar Cues

Hey,

The problem I think with buying these things unless they can be found locally is that they weigh alot

So, shipping can be expensive.....damnit Jim -- I bought about 20 to 30 of some old Valley sticks about 1 1/2 years ago on Ebay hoping to use them at the Pub -- it turned out that all but 3 or 4 had press on tips (before I had a Willard tipper too) so I ended up just about giving them away for a couple $$ a piece

Happy Holidays!

I would be interested in one of those no finish hustling sneakies...You got a site/e-mail/pics or prices?

Edit : Just spoke with Jim Sickles on the phone and he's starting construction on one for me as we speak.
If anyone is interested in something like this he's definitely a great guy to talk to, and I can't wait to get the cue and give it a full review!

Thanks guys for the info, but would love to get my hands on some of them...I have probably 50 cues, but only about 20 are usable for cuemaking. Happy Holidays to all you, and thanks for the Info.

Xidica...Your cue is coming buddy.

Look on the rooftop at Stormy's....we used to throw their bad cues up there.

They would never fix them, but they did have to replace them when they were gone.

Don't you owners just love us drunken players?

Jeff, there is a method to our madness--if we don't fix em the customer will eventually buy one rather than choose junk off the wall. LOL!

Not at this place...lol. It used to have some really good players, but no cues for sale as it was a dive ass old bar...I think the oldest bar in the same location in the Des Moines area. When they remolded it about 15 years ago, they found a bunch of old newpapers used as insulation behind the built-in wooden booths. Somewhere in the early 30's if memeory serves me correct. They replaced all that with plastic lawn chairs!

I did learn how to make multi-rail shots there, though, as a lot of old timers played on that grand old 8 foot table and they loved to play bank 8-ball. The new owner put in a bar box and made it very unfriendly for us younger pool players (closed by 10 pm, etc.). We never play there anymore and now call it the gereatric bar as only little old ladies and their girly husbands hang out there.

Keep those tips and cues in shape! Sorry to change the thread.

broken cues

Jim,
Try some of the YMCA local. They take quite of abuse there though but I have found that they frequently throw them out. Being a beginner I get quite a few of them because I only charge a buck a stick. I get to keep the bad one for experiments.

I have about 50 - 75 of them. mostly valley. I have been using them for wedges to keep cooler doors closed and extra security at closing..lol.
