Addicted to cues

I own one McDermott I have $10 into (raffle ticket) and a predator BK. I also have a Ray Schuler that was given to me.

I’m not really into cues as you can tell. I have won bunches of cues Joss, Meucci, Predator, Viking, McDermott etc in raffles but they always seem to find a better home with some pretty young lady. :)
 
Yes, I'm addicted to beautiful cues, but I'm now addicted to admiring them from afar.

2 Ontario Sneaky Petes (~$25 ea)
Joss Sneaky Pete ($175) with black linen wrap added by Showcase Billiards ($85)
Brunswick/Joss Plain Jane, medium-stain BEM ($175)
McDermott I-2 Shaft to try on the Josses ($145)
60" Scott Klein Sneaky Pete ($275) (not mine yet, but in transit to my hot big hands)

I just started knocking the balls around a couple of months ago after a dozen or so years off, so I'm trying to find some lumber that feels decent in my hand as I (attempt to) get back into stroke.

I've decided that I'll not buy a cue over 1000 bucks just out of general principle. I am a great admirer of the craftsmanship that goes into a fine custom cue, and enjoyed owning several in the past. I just cannot justify in my life owning something over a thousand dollars that doesn't have wheels or shoot bullets.

I WASN'T BEING LITERAL ABOUT LEAVING THE PRICING UP TO THE GUYS, BUT I'D HAVE TO SAY YOUR IN THE BALLPARK. THEY CERTAINLY WOULDN'T LEAVE MY HANDS FOR THAT THOUGH. I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY IS SITTING THERE. IT MAKES MY HEAD SPIN.

Yup.. I will add a Kersh to that list if you sell your kersh to me :D It would be perfect right between the Benders and the Omega/dpks that I have...

Small fish , my foot. I'd trade all 27 of mine if you
throw in the Hercek & Searing. Okay, just the
Hercek, Searing and Weston.

You'll have to wait a while buddy. Just on the lists, no cues yet.
Skip will be about 4 months but the other two will be years.
