I know a guy who has a Skip Weston for sale. Think he wants $6,000 for it. LOL

I have an ~ $4000 Skip Weston cue, but it's not for sale...
 
If I had 50K, I would rather risk it with the names that really have authenticated cues at that range...
 
Thanks to all who have responded. I haven't seen Lishons before, my guess is an older Viking from the time period she states. Possibly an older Jensen? The screw seems to indicate to me that it is a cheaper cue. The pics surely don't help out in the ID of this cue. I doubt her stories about the cuemakers comments as well. With those pics, nobody would say that it is a rare one of a kind cue, worth tons of $$$$ without knowing who made it. She also stated that she had a Richard Black stolen from her years ago. Also leary about this because of the kind of eBay store she runs. Probably bought the cue at a garage sale thinking it was really something and will die holding it.

She also states that she contacted Helmstetter for verification, and can't even spell Helmstetter. A lot of funny stuff going on here, but I will try to get with her and see the cue in person. Like I said, she only lives about 15 miles from my home.
Like Sean, I don't think it is a scam, only a very, very, very misinformed cue owner.
 
Holy cow! Someone said Viking and a lightbulb went off in my head! That cue does look just like a Viking a friend of mine had back in about 1990! The only difference is that his had a plain buttsleeve... I just had to have my memory jogged. The forearm and butt/bumper seem to be exactly the same...

I would bet my $50k on Viking.

I made a single digit "best offer" for the cue. She emailed declining my most generous offer and stating she turned down a dime for it 20yrs ago. She and the Skip Wesson seller are probably sharing the same pipe:rolleyes:
 
The $50,000 dollar wet dream on eBay.

The seller of this item is another individual who knows nothing about cues. I sent her an email and here is the responce I received. I told her the cue was a helmstetter, she claims that this can not be true, because she contacted the most knowledgeable member from the Helmstetter Cue Factory in Japan. This is a bunch of shit because Adam/Helmstetter stopped making cues in late 2003. No matter what is said she has more information or has talked to someone else to disproved what was said. THIS IS A SCAM BEWEAR
