After Death: Your Cues

What do you think should happen to your cues after you die?

Have you communicated your intent to anyone?

I've talked to my family about it. I haven't gone so far as to put a value on them. But I did explain they shouldn't be a $5 garage sale item either.

My instructions were to give them to a designated pool player friend of mine to sell for appropriate value. My daughter doesn't play, and neither do my other family members. So I'd like the value from them and the $ given back to my family.

I do actually think about this. Most will go to my kids. There is at least one that goes to a forum member. Maybe three or four.
 
Can't remember everyone I've promised a cue in my will, but since I'm in the final process of putting it together please let me know your preferences.
Apologies to bnall, I've already sold the Scruggs cue I promised you, but there are still 2 left.

Not much time left so get your selections in now, otherwise they will all be going to auction
 
I keep a record of the original purchase price and they are insured on our homeowners policy with correct values. My wife knows she could contact the famous HOF cue maker here in CT for advice on where to go for proper sale of them.

The only plan really necessary is for your executor to have an eBay account.

If anyone has a collection and no heirs or are disappointed in them and not leaving them jack, please feel free to entrust them to the book collector, {stick collector}
museum of cues.
I promise to take good care of them and to exhibit them with your name attached.
 
I hadn't thought about it, but it makes sense that they be cremated along with me.

My guitars all have beneficiaries, no one would want my pool cues (both of them).

I communicated to Drivermaker that I would help his widow liquidate his collection ... I am quite sure his Meuccis will sell for a good price but I don't expect to get much for his Herceks ;)

I've written instructions for my cues. Most will be willed to friends with remarks about what the cue and friendship meant to me. the rest will be sold by little Kenny (fourkingscues) with proceeds to be split between him and my estate.

As much as I don't look forward to my eventual demise, I take comfort in knowing that my cue collection will help me be remembered by a select few.

There will not be a "box" cue buried with me. Even in the next life, I'd look like a jackass with such a fine instrument yet such a lousy stroke. Forging friendship will always mean more to me; my love of material things only goes as far as they can serve that purpose.
 
Thought about it, but haven't made any decisions yet. Being ivory, two of my cues have to remain in Canada. The others I'll probably just have donated to the BEF. The two main cues though, it's a hard choice - I'd hate to see them go to waste but then again they do whenever I use them.
 
I haven't given much thought to it. It's really not that high on my list.

Maybe I'll have them jammed up my ace and let the beavers drag my corpse off...

Well for Hells sake, I have planted people with money, whiskey, guns, dolls , knifes, fishing polls. books, pictures, playboy hustler and other porn, fire extinguishers, beer all kinds of things.
I planted a guy with the shotgun he used to blow his own head off with:eek:

I had one funeral service where they wanted to shoot the guys horse and bury it with the cowboy.
As part of the funeral service .:cool:
You would not believed the look on there face when I said no you cant shoot the horse.:help:

Instead they let the horse go, Well it was pretty muddy, and the horse almost got stuck in someone else grave . .:thumbup:


But I have never planted anyone with a pool cue before. Where do you want the service done. Billy Bobs Hill Billy Pool Emporium .:killingme:

We could cut up a gold crown and make into a casket for too.

Looks like we got a good plan for your funeral service, now all we need is for you to kick the bucket,

And don't worry I have never had any of my customers complain.
