Deal of the century on ebay now LOL

That's funny!!! And the auction listing shows 3 offers made on the cue. When I worked at Billiards & Sports here in Medford, Ore, I would see someone come into the store about 2x a year with a one of those cane cues, and think that they really something special. Usually it was a cue that was handed down their father, or grandfather, or uncle. And each time they
supposedly paid hundreds for the cue and obtained it when they were serving in WWII or the Korean war or the Vietnam war.

And each time I would kindly explain that what they had wasnt they think they had. And I would pool out a supply catalog from one of our billiard suppliers, show them a picture of a cane cue that nearly identical to what they had, and then show the current wholesale price list which would quote a price of $20. And then person would invariably get pissy over the knowledge that the cue was a worthless piece of junk of a chinese novelty cue that has been around for over 60+ years. And I felt bad for the relation that originally bought the cue, which if they did pay alot of money for the cue, then they were victims of a scam seller and of their own stupidity for not being able to understand what a good quality cue was.

It amazes me to see several different cane cues up for sale on Ebay and see sellers trying to get hundreds of dollars for their "Rare" cue. More power to the seller I suppose if they can generate a sale. But you gotta feel for the idiots that actually buy the product.

Way to display a high end collectible like that - on a cinder block wall with a garbage can, propane tank and spare tire as nice accents.

Oh, you only looked at the first picture? Mitch, you need to go through the rest of the pictures! I swear, that must be the Sanford & Son backyard.

P.S. it's actually a brick wall with cinder-slab top. They splurged a little when putting that wall in. ;)

I can just hear some of the background chitter-chatter now, as those photos were being taken...

Fred Sanford: Who is it?
Aunt Esther: It's Esther!
Fred Sanford: Esther who?
Aunt Esther: You know Esther who! Open this door fool!
Fred Sanford: I can't open the door!
Aunt Esther: Why not?
Fred Sanford: You too ugly!

Fred Sanford: Listen, Esther. In the first place, you can't enter that contest because your not eligible. See one of the things you have to be is a part of a certain race.
Woody Anderson: What race?
Fred Sanford: Human!

Lamont Sanford: When a person has three heart attacks, he's dead. You had fifteen.

Fred Sanford: I still want to sow some wild oats.
Lamont Sanford: At your age, you don't have no wild oats, you got shredded wheat.

Fred Sanford: Goodbye, dear
Aunt Esther: Oh, you called me dear.
Fred Sanford: Why shouldn't I call you DEER? You look like Bambi's father!

Fred Sanford: Let's do like they did in the Bible: Moses spread his arms out and the Red Sea divided.
Lamont Sanford: So we're gonna do like Moses?
Fred Sanford: No, we're gonna do like the Red Sea and split.
 
a bit off the subject

i know a player " that will remain nameless " had me to build him a shaft for a cane cue, every time he walks into a bar with that cue he is ask to play, but only once
 
cues

Got into a bar fight in hong kong . ( pussy cat, real classy joint)
my buddy just bought a cue cane. it may not be worth a $h!t on the table
but it sure kicked @ss that night in the bar. priceless.

so if you are 6ft 4 and were on the uss midway in 1976 and you got your
@ss kick in the pussy cat bar, I wasnt there:thumbup:

read your fortune cookie you shouldnt pick on a little guy with a cue cane.

I think you guys who are criticizing the ebay seller for his backdrop of oddities that surround his prized possession cane cue are being short-sighted.

Haven't you ever purposely asked your most grotesque buddy to accompany you to the clubs so you look like the prize?

Marketing 101, baby.

Compared to the cinder blocks, that cane cue looks just like $15k. :thumbup:

Best,

No way, your buddy kicked Captain Kirks a ss?

I have mentioned this before but there was a girl who played league that had two of these cues.
She kicked a lot of peoples butts with those. Uglier than sin tho. The cues not her.

Probably a listing software malfunction. I used to use one when dealing in bulk camera gear. I remember one time I went to list a Tamron lens and the stupid spell check listed it as a "Tampon 105mm"

So maybe he meant to put in $327.00 but forgot the decimal point ($32700) and the program put it in with 00 cents after? I guess that makes more sense since it retails on Tiger's site for $409.
