Balabushka ?

And to the winner, a complimentary off white canvas straightjacket and a two-week-long stay at your local RMHI (regional mental health institute)....

....but of course we all know it was probably just a shill-game. :)

Doggoneit, some feel 40 or 50 of "us" collaborated to discredit the cue so one of "us" could score it at 96+:o

The buyers ok on this deal! He`s going to pay by pay pal and then when it turns out to be other than a bushka, He will file a claim saying he did`nt get it! LOL;) :D

^ because back in the day, a Balabushka was not extravagant. It was a couple few hundred bucks maybe.

i just sold my PP 5970,3970,5101, and the set of 4 of the 5100's. nice payday, i held on to the 5070 I have all 3. I kind wish I kept the 5970 in rose gold, Patek watches are the best investments there are if you know what your doing and have a bankroll,

who ever bought that cue lost alot of $$$$, if its a Bushka I have a 12" you know what, sadly I have 25% of that :mad: . I believe the seller was on the square and the buyer made a mistake, I dont know alot about Ebay but the seller has a good reputation and I hope when the buyer gets the bad news, he is compensated. I have some real Bushkas for $100,000 for that buyer, i'll give up a 25% commision to who can bring me that buyer, I'll sell 5 of the 6 I own so @ $25,000/cue X 5 REAL Bushkas the person who brings me the buyer could make $125,000. Its not how hard you work its how smart, so get busy and bring the buyer to me!!!!

in all seriousniss I hate to see this because someone got robbed, i'm 99.345745% sure of that. I looked at some of my real ones and as Ken, my friend with issues ;) is right, that cue has issues. Actually Ken Kerner is one hell of a guy and friend, he has robbed me on a few cues and I think I got the best of him once maybe, but I will promis anyone here he is a stand up guy to do biz with, as is Mike Gartland and Bill Grassley, and Don Surman too, if I left anyone off the list let me know, Casey is cool too, infact I havent had a bad del yet, if I did I got out moved and shit happens I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, Jay Helfert is.
 
Hla2, firstly, get a better pic. Secondly, you suck!

Fatboy, we already knew you sucked!!

Jealous! Blancpains, Piguets, etc. just won't measure up to you bastards! I'm eyeing an orig Roley/Radiomir right now, can't wait to drop that on youse bastages!
 
If the buyer doesn't pay, the seller will still be billed "the final value fee" by ebay. that won't be cheap! I think I'll watch for feedback comments.

If anyone thinks Fatboy isn't the shartest knife in the drawer definitely reconsider.. Whenever we do business I have to go straight to the emergency room to stop the bleeding:) After all the business we've done I look like Frankenstein from the stitches..
All kidding aside.. Eric is one of the best guys out there to do business with. His hospitality is beyond description.. Especially putting up with me everytime I visit.. Great friend, I have the phone bill to prove it;)
Best,
Ken

you, me, and about five hundred others;)
 
yup guess he figured it out, and cmon anyone that deals in antiques knows if there is a chance this cue is legit they will have it authenticated by whoevevr it needs to be done by, this guy isnt new at this and hes not gonna leave thousands on the table if its truly a bushka, am i right
 
Don't beleive it's anything special

This seller has previously sold cues that she led people to believe were the real mohican. I've talked to a few that were later disappointed. I'm really surprised that people have bid that high without any mention of this one being anything special.

There are alot of good copies out there! I've seen quite a few!
Somone will be unhappy!

Maybe he just wanted to tie it up for a while till he could check it out? just in case it was a a real one.

balabushka not

my apologies, this is a black, as fast & loose said. i once had one also, i also had a simular tim scruggs tribute. big give away is tiny bumper which black bought from adams/helmstetter, has a metric screw holding bumper in. blocks were ivory. bushka's were maple windows w/ivory curls. poor buyer will become very sad & depressed. hide all guns, knives, etc. etc. don sherman
 
But dont forget.....nobody forced him to buy it.

He took a shot to make a lifetime deal. But that is the risk about these speculating deals. You can win but you can also lose big time.

It also could have turned to the other way and he would had the deal of the year.

your right, oh yeah that "Real" Bushka we did a deal on is beyond amazing. Gotta do your homework. Thanks for the deal we did at the Derby.
 
and no counter feedback left, not that any would be expected.

OR, the deal went down off-bay to avoid buyers fees although not likely.

Hey, it's still a Black!
