cognoscenti plain cocobolo

A: It looks beat to hell

B: Joe Gold only uses exactly 30 silver blocks in each ring so I'm not so sure it's a cog

Jake, Joey used the slotted SW style rings in his earlier cues. I agree that the cue is beat to hell though.:D

So You don't think it's a good deal to bid on it? Which are the differences in between cocobolo and ebony in hit,playing and stuff like that?:confused: :cool:
 
Whoops my bad, it's just that ebay has so many crappy scams( see the thread about the "pro mod" meucci specifically designed for 8 ball that hits like a golf club)

It's already at 9 hundees and with the condition that it's in that may be a bit steep IMHO

Find a good ebony one, The Hit is the best. With two 13mm shafts. Pay about 1100 to 1300 for it.

My advice to you is to keep looking. That cue is in rough condition and i've never seen a Cog cue with that style of trim rings, just my opinion for what it's worth.
 
I owned & sold an older Cog that had those same poker-chip rings. It's an oldie, but goodie. With one shaft I sold it for $720. I could have gotten more, but needed to turn it. In regards to the wood, I have a had a number of bacote cues like this that played great, and one ebony that also played great. cocobolo may have little stiffer hit than the bacote but probably similar to the ebony since they are both considered hard/heavy wood.

The age of this cue may have some collectable value, but I really don't know about that.

Good luck, Dave
 
I agree with the other posters. STAY AWAY from it. Keep looking. Spend a few hundred more to get one that is straight and in good shape.

All that foreign stuff makes it suspicious.

I'm not associated with this sale in any way, nor do I know the seller, I just wanted to point out that the reason there's "foreign stuff" is because the poster is probably from a foreign country. The seller is from Iowa. Here's the english version: http://cgi.ebay.com/COGNOSCENTI-CUE...DVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200087051144
 
I concur that the trim rings are CORRECT for the early examples.

The cue, and lister, are legit IMO.

Draw your own conclusions on price, MANY variables to consider.
 
Ok, then I'll wait cause I've already a cocobolo cue that is actually my playing one and really wanted to try a ebony one...

Thanks all of you for the advice on the ebay one...

Now do you know where can I find a ebony one or anyone can get me in touch with Mr Joe Gold?

:)

Did not know that. Thought it was weird that the seller claimed to be in Iowa but the language was foreign.

Thanks

The page was translated into the italian ebay site. "http://cgi.ebay.it" I doubt the guy actually posted it there, though he very well may have. There are many country sites for ebay.. scroll to the bottom of the ebay.com home page.

<Edit:> Check it out by searching for something, copy the auction ID. Then go to another country site and paste the auction ID into the search box.
