[gambler67]

Don't know but if cheap enough buy it.
You never know.

$501 on an unknown!
Yeah $125 was worth a shot.

Old A. E Schmidt cues made with Titlist blanks can be shined up pretty good.

I like the bottom cue.
That's probably worth $500 I think although I know nothing about the value of these cues.

I bought that cue new in 1973 for $105, if my memory is correct. I think I paid another $25 for a second shaft.

I had Scot Sherbine make the top shaft.

The bottom two are original.

this was discussed the last time it came up for auction. i think it went for somewhere in the $300-$400 range. I guess the bidder didn't pay or returned it and it got auctioned off again. It was believed to be as stated above an A.E.Schmidt cue

If the 'auction house' was shopgoodwill.com, they shill bid on a lot (if not most) of their offerings. I monitored for several months a while ago and would see the same item selling for more than retail over and over again.

It's really a terrible auction site. They take the good stuff that's donated and never sell it locally, just put it online. It always sells for much more than what it would on even ebay. I never donate to goodwill, but rather local charity places.

It's pathetic, go into the store and find nothing but dishes from the 80s and teflon pans that look hairy from all the scraping on them. Go online and find gibson guitars.

The pilots look like they thread on the outside too, which reminds me of a Viking super joint.

Yeah $125 was worth a shot.

hopefully the guy who bid $501 at least knew who made the cue

hopefully some of the sites aren't doing unethical things
