After almost a year of illness, medical tests and major surgery for my wife, she is doing much better. Due to the surgery and recuperation time, we have been unable to deal with much of the cue business for the past 3 or 4 months. We are finally back and hope you will find a Crown Cue you can't live without... OR, a Crown Cue that you know your special someone can't live without.

We have 4 new eBay auctions which started, today. They are at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320181116604&ssPageName=STRK:MESC:IT&ih=011 (Tigerwood and Curly Maple)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320181131248&ssPageName=STRK:MESC:IT&ih=011 (Bolivian Rosewood and Maple Burl)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320181150419&ssPageName=STRK:MESC:IT&ih=011 (Curly Maple and Lacewood)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320181200561&ssPageName=STRK:MESC:IT&ih=011 (Curly Maple and Hawaiian Koa)

I'd like to thank my wife for her faithful support with this business. She still hasn't been released from her surgery and isn't even able to drive a car, yet (and can barely ride in one), but she is helping me get this business back off the ground in time for Christmas sales.
 
Very Nice!

Why didn't you post em here in the Wanted/Forsale before Fleabay?
I am happy to hear your wife is on the mend.

Hope you luck with your auction. Also wish you an early healthier 2008 and may the last few months in 2007 have better vision and less stress.

Anyone can buy a cue from our site at any time. It really shouldn't matter where we list a sale first.

However, we posted the eBay auctions first, because we have had a lot of first-rate, repeat customers on eBay, who have been waiting for us to post more cues there. We have already been receiving messages from some of them about my wife's recovery. They knew she had been doing better with her heart problems, but something else was going on with her health, this year. Most of them just play pool and don't get on a computer enough to hit a forum, so she wanted to make sure they knew we were back. eBay doesn't like it if you post an auction with nothing to sell, so the only way to reach them short of sending out a mass mailing would be to post an auction and let their automatic searches find us.

Also, we've posted our discount sales and other stuff on the forum before, but the response has not been nearly as great as the response from our regular customers on eBay. We've found a few really good customers here, but mostly just good people to chat with. That's not a bad thing. It's just that our largest [supportive] customer base seems to be on eBay. Although that may change in the future, it's just the way it is, for now.

That explains that. Thanks!

I've played with a few of them in the last few months, since around the Jamboree.
One of the guys that make my cases is collecting them, because they're pretty good players for the price.
Nice woods, and overall pretty nice cues.
Glad to hear things are getting better for you guys!

Thanks. It's been a slow, but sure process for us.

I think I know who you're talking about that collects cues. He's got some really nice Crown Cues. Glad you like them.
