Cue From Hell

I purchased five cues in 1999 from Russ Espiritu. I sold the one I liked the most to a friend of mine. He called me and told me he got a DWI and needed his money bad. I took the cue back and gave him his money back. I sold it again here on AZ about 4 months ago. A week later the guy calls me back and tells me he was in a car wreck and needed the cue money to repair the other guys car so he could stay out of trouble. All he really had to say was that he didn't like the cue. I offor a satisfaction guarentee. Since he was honest about it, I told him to send it back and I would refund his money. No problem. He even included a case. Thanks by the way! I sold the dam cue again two weeks ago. Guess what, the guys transmission went out on his car and he needs his money. I am sorry guys, I ain't taking the cue back again. It is the cue from hell. It was a $895 cue that I sold 3 times for $600. What a freaking ordeal. I think I am going to quit selling cues. Anybody else ever have a cue from hell?

I've had a jinxed car... But never a cue. Your story is hillarious though.

There's an idea Purman.... find someone with a jinxed car... the cue might counteract his car & right your luck with this cue.... ;)
 
From hell???

Have you posted any pics of this cue? Not intrested in buying (hell I can't get my car to start as is) just curious which auto related curse I put on it! :D :D :D

If you go in the search and put in 1999 Espiritu cue, you will see it. Dam pretty cue. Cocobolo w/ five floating holly points in the butt and forearm.
It ain't mine anymore. I saw the guy Sunday in the pool hall. Said he got his car fixed. I asked him how he paid for it. Told me he wrote a bad check. I think he may be in a little more trouble than he was with a bad transmission now.

That sounds like a cue you would like to give to somebody you don't get along with just to jinx them. :)

I had a couple cars that were jinxed, first car I ever owned was a Saab 2 cycle. That's right, 2 cycle like a lawnmower. The second time the engine seized up I payed a guy 25 bucks to haul it to the crusher.

Sounds like my old Vega. I also had a Corvair that you filled up with oil and checked the gas on. I worked in a gas station at the time. I put every drop of oil I removed from the customers cars in it. Smoked like hell but kept running.

Ahhh...yes...that was the beige bat with a red bow tie on the butt cue that Shorty asked me to curse after you picked on him for winking at you.You may remove the curse by placing it in the back seat of a 1919 Bugatti,moon walking backwards around the car while wearing a tux with a GREEN bow tie. Or just let the hot check writing shmoe deal with it! :D

Seems to me that since the guy had to write a hot check because he was broke, because he bought the cursed cue... it's already working it's magic on him.... :p

I was going to offer $666.00 for that cue. :)

Funny "as hell" post, perfect.

Don...you should know better than to try selling things to a pool player, they're ALL broke and have one problem after another followed up by a sob story. You should have sold the cue to a regular working stiff with a normal job and responsibilities. I know what you're thinking..."Now who in the hell would want to buy a pool cue that's a non-pool player"? If you were selling a Predator instead of an Espiritu it would have been much easier pawning it off as the greatest "grill starter" that you ever saw, and with summer cookouts hitting every weekend...who WOULDN'T want one.

So trade that cue for a Predator and start marketing to the people that have money and stable harmonious lives. :D

Sounds like your cue is 666-1 upside down -series from Espiritu. Only way to control the jinx is to have a guy called Damien to buy the cue :p
 
Perhaps there is a certain amount of mystery surrounding the cue. Not to worry, that’s what legends are made from. Kinda like Excalibur, stick it into a stone and whoever can remove it shall rule Jinxalot. You just need to add a little bit to each hard luck story. Say something like, yeah the guy who bought it had some car trouble but he managed to knock off Efrin 9-5 in a recent tourney. The guy before that had a banking issue but he snapped off Johnny 9-3. The cue never loses. The wielder just has to deal with a few minor financial hardships.

You should be able to sell it again.

Be thankful that it’s only a cue, ….and not a wife. j/k

Purd, any cue I put in my hands seems to turn into the "cue from hell". Funny thing is, it seems the same way with women, too :eek:

You used to but you just got lucky...somebody stole it and is now burning in hell along with it. Can't you just imagine all of the nasty things that are happening in his life now? :eek: :D

Hey Purdman

Sorry to hear about your luck with the cue sale but I sure wish you had left Espiritu's name off the cue in this story. It sort of makes it seem as if something was wrong with the cue rather than with the guy(s) that bought the cue. I'm sure it wasn't the cue but more the buyer(s) that created the "cue from hell". I bought a nice Espiritu on Ebay a little while back because the one that I have custom ordered through Russ is not finished yet. I will eventually have 2 very nice Espiritu's in my collection. Good story but felt I must defend Espiritu for I feel he desreves it.
