I just got off of the phone with Barry... he said his retail on this cue is $800.

I've got another Barry in possession and one more on the way from him. I'm a steel joint kind of guy, which is not his usual joint, but I can say that it hits every bit as good as the top cuemakers' cues I've played with.

I also own a similar style Searing, and I'd put the Cameron's playability very close to it.... if that tells you anything...

And you can't deal with a nicer guy on top of that!
 
again, for those of you who aren't up to speed on this auction, the check will be made out to big brothers/big sisters - the organization - and not to some individual.

the cue was shipped from barry to ross and is in his possession and ross is as straight up as a person can get.
 
its a great cause and if makes ya feel any better scott go ahead andf outbid me im done at that! lol!
 
Barry is a cuemaker from a sleepy CT town, with two killer cats protecting his work. I have one of his older cues and it hits an awful lot like a SW, only better. Still a stiff hit, but not as crazy stiff. Of course, there is a G10 3/8x10 joint that wasn't there originally and a coco plug, but still, the shaft is going to dominate any hit (and that hasn't changed). Barry is old school. Screw and glue. Full points. Mine is ancient (he didn't even recognize it!) and it still plays very well. Nice work from a guy that doesn't get enough recognition.

Barry builds a great cue, I've got two and love them. Plus this is a great chance to help out a great organization.
