Thank God I am not alone..... I own my fair share and every time I say, "that's it", I buy another one.... :/

It's like in Coffee and Cigarettes, where Tom Waits and Iggy Pop are hanging out at a bar and talk about how they both quit smoking. Then Tom pulls out a cigarette and says "well you know, since I already quit, it's no big deal to have one."
 
This thread is awesome. I'm glad that I resist the temptation to sink all of my disposable income on cues. Otherwise I'd have the most beautiful wall at home for a broke person.

So, I look learn and appreciate instead.

My wife and I have a standing agreement, she gets a new sewing machine, I get a new cue. She has 8 sewing machines, one dating back to 1938. I have 9 pool cues, had one before I met her.

However, I wind up paying for both of them.

Sounds like a good deal. At least she's not demanding an Italian gigolo every time you you want another cue. Sewing machine is a small price to pay

My Mother-in-law has a sewing machine that is about as expensive as a Tascarella. They aren't necessarily cheap.

As far as my own addiction, I went to the Expo to buy a cue. I picked up a Barnhart Merry Widow. Nice cocobolo. I could have spent more but I would feel obligated to stop looking. Not ready for that.

I love the cue so I might just limit myself to Barnhart cues from now on. But what if I would like a Josey or Nitti or Frey even more.

My name is Mike and it's been 26 days since I bought a cue.

I can stop buying anytime. Should my wife take all of my cues and leave.....I'm gonna miss them.
 
If someone had a cue for sale this would be a good thread to post a picture of it in!

Very good advice. Here are a few suggestions I might add to use a guidelines >

1)Never really let em' know what you really have stashed and if possible what you really paid.
2)Never show them or let them handle your favorite keepsake cue. You know the 'one you will never ever part with'.
3)Always 'talk up' the bait and leave it laying around in arms length just in case.

4.) And most important IMO, never set a price on something you don't want to sell. I have done it with guns, cars and cues. You think the guy would be crazy to pay me that, and he says, "Okay, Ill take it". You cant back out of the deal and now you have lost it forever.......

I have a '68 Joss....it's hooked up to my brain cells ( all four of 'em )
...it's the ONLY cue I play one-hole with.

Danny Janes said he didn't have a '68 in his collection..he'd like to have it..
...I told him the only way he gets it is I get half an hour in his shop with
an empty truck..
..thank Heavens he declined.
