Hi,there is a auction running for a fellini case and possible balabushka cue that I was a owner of and it has been sold a number of times and was always a early jensen cue.The bumper has been switched out from a old black bumper to a redish brown bumper as stated but this was done by the new owner who purchased the cue a few months back,checkfedback. If anybody choses to believe this new description they should require the cue to be verified by tascarella or barry.BUYER BEWARE!
 
Edit - I sent him a message with the link to the prior auction, and I get this in reply:

Thats the like cue I have obtained. It is my knock around cue. I think I have explained that in the auction did I not???? There is a night and day difference in the cues .
That cue also has a dinged up forearm and this is mint.the butt is where the 2 lifted spots are.Totally different cues. I explained that in the auction I thought.Ill recheck it.

Riiiiiiiiiight... :rolleyes:

I happen to know it was taken to a local cue maker from discussions after he got it so it was rewrapped

Also the weight bolt was not a balabushka because it was made by atlas and the butt cap was not a balabushka from his thoughts when he got it but mentioned he had acess to some parts ,i dont know,the only thing I am saying is I would never make a suggestion as to a cue being a balabushka unless I had proof and that is why when I sold it I stated it was a copy because the cue has been thru many hands before I got it and 500 bucks was what i paid.I am pretty sure that if it was a real bala it would have never made it into my hands!It was owned by alot of cue hustlers on ebay before me and were all not experts but to make it this far and suddenly be the real deal is kind of like the us beating russia in ice hockey is 1980.ITS A MIRICALE
