black boar

> My question is,if someone here in America scopes his site out,like I've been doing for as long as he's had a site,and decides they want a super nice Boar,or for a different example,wants a plain ebony Cog to play with,or likes Barenbrugge's ring work or whatever,and sees exactly what they want,will he sell and ship to us,or do we have to go to Japan and buy it in person? He reputedly has deals with these and several other custom guys,what is that going to do to the market for these cues here? I'd personally love a plain Cog,but isn't it crazy to pay in the neighborhood of 4 grand for one,according to the current 107 yen=1.00 USD formula?

I think it is crazy indeed, though I don't begrudge Joe Gold or Tony for taking on such a deal since it is obviously lucrative for them.

If this were 30 years ago we'd be in trouble, but these days there are so many cuemakers making excellent playing cues, and quite a few that do extraordinarily beautiful work that I find no need to "have to own" a certain cue if it means killing myself financially.

If you like butterflies, no one does them better than Paul Fanelli. Simply the best in understated beauty you can find, and he didn't make any contract deal with Lucky (not yet at least, lol)

If you like traditional points, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who cuts a meaner point than Skip Weston, and his prices are beyond reasonable imho. Both Skip and Paul makes great playing cues in addition to being aesthetic top-dogs, and I'm lucky enough to have both of them in my neck of the woods.

Anyway, my point is, if you're looking for a cue to play with or hang on a wall, there are soooo many great choices without having to pay Lucky's prices. Obviously there is no dissuading someone bent of owning a certain cuemaker's cue, but $4000 for any plain jane is insane.

On a related topic I ddon't care what people want to sell their cues for, what I hate is when people put up a web-site and instead of a price they put down ask, that's a joke...

I couldn't agree more! This was one of the driving factors in our decision to start our own site. We refer to that exact topic right off the bat.
 
Btw i just read this thread, i called scruggs two days ago to order a playing cue and was told "we are not taking orders on any new cues now"
I have owned 4 cues from him and 1 i payed 1200 for 6 years ago....
Just to note:

Welcome to the fray...

But is it more annoying to not know a price or not know who you are dealing with?

Thanks for the kind words Joe. After reading your post I saw your point and it was a valid one. We will be adding more contact info to the site. We're (my partner is another AZ member...RunArak...I will let him post his contact info) exicted to have the opportunity to launch the site. I really believe that buying from custom cue dealers and cuemakers is the way to go these days with all the fraud on Ebay.

Thanks Rich! The credit should go to my partner...fellow AZ member RunArak. He is the photograher and the website designer. We were pleased with how the pictures came out, but we also believe we can improve upon them in the future.

Rich,

Thanks for the compliments on the cue photography. That means a lot coming from you. I have seen several of the photos that you post on BD and on your site, you do a fine job yourself. I am learning each day and hope to become even more consistent.

Jamie and I love cues and we love the game. We hope to be able to supply a great product at a fair and competitive price. I am obviously the other half of New2YouQ's & TheCueDealer. Boths sites are the same, just 2 ways to get there via the web. Thanks to all who have taken the time to browse our site. We have more cues coming and the site will be updated as soon as we get them in.

I thank you for your kind words. :D
 
i'm touched that dumb and dumber above are so interested in how i spend my time. i hope it doesn't develop into an obsession, since jimbo tends to get very involved in his silly bb posts. i'm sure they both would benefit if they could develop more diverse interests themselves.

Wait just a minute there Larry. Your the one who stepped into this thread with the smart ass comment.
Maybe you forgot.

Now you are going to rip Jimbo and me because we don't appreciate your idiotic BS. It appears that your main interest is making stupid comments on pool forums. I think you are the one who needs more diverse interests.
