Last night you saw the beautiful new Szamboti, and a tremendous triple box cue by a relatively unknown cue maker.YOU were invited to guess who made it. Some guessed Black,Scruggs, Carolina Custom, and Gilbertand. It is none of these. It is a tribute to any cue to be in the company of these great cues, but no one has guessed who made that box cue that I sold to the first caller last night. This morning I talked with Mike Cochran,no stranger to fine cues since he makes one of the finest cues in the USA out of TIM SCRUGGS shop, and Mike said to me, "YOU didn't sell that cue,you GAVE IT AWAY!"
He is dead right. For Mike to make me that cue I would be talking $8500 or more. I sold it at a price that I cannot replace it for. WHY you ask would I do such a thing? Advertising. I want to introduce to you, the public, a cue made right here in the USA by one of the finest cuemakers you may not know. You, the patrons, of az, the most knowledgeable cue fanatics in the nation, can't tell the difference between this cue and the other great cuemakers, and to speed up the process I am giving you 4 hours to steal my personal playing cue so you can report back to the rest of us how happy you are, and I can sell the next cues and actually make some money!
People come up to me and ask to hold it, to look at it, and they just stand there grinning with a look of desire to own. Well, the pictures don't do the cue justice. Honestly, this cue is a flashy cue proving that OLD SCHOOL is TIMELESS. It just doesn't ever get old. Gaze if you will at all that mother of pearl through the eyes of imagination disregarding the poor photography and imagine yourself with a real treasure that is not only beautiful but is a smart investment.
In1973 I bought a new Cadillac for $7,000 and a new Balabushka for $125. Today that Balabushka is worth $15,000. About 15 years ago I championed a little cue maker in Las Vegas, and I bought his cues for $175each. What do you think a South West is worth today? The same could be said of Tim Scruggs, Gina and Rambo.
Tonight only, you can buy my personal cue with some 2 or 3 months play for the ridiculously low price of $1,250.
Who made it? I will tell the person who calls, but I can tell you 1 thing, at least one player won the U.S. OPEN with one. You think he did that with a cue that didn't play pretty good? Enough talk, if you have ever wanted a high end cue but were not willing to pay 3 or $4000...GRAB THE PHONE and to you who always wanted to get a bargain and turn a tidy profit making the love of your life swoon when she tells the girls how her smart husband made that deal, TO you I say, "Quick Henry ...the phone."
What are you doing sitting there? CONFUCIOUS SAY, ""Man who waits for roast duck to fly in mouth go hungry".
YOU have 3 hours at the most to buy tomorrow's classic today.
