Ebay hand made Philippine cues??

Now when I first saw these cues a while back I thought, "Wow these cues look really nice, Whoa look at the price! They're sure to be junk."
But I never really asked... IMO these cues look fantastic, but something about the price screams low quality. 10-50$ For these cues is what they regularly go for.
What are your opinions, are these cues real? Real materials? Good quality? How exactly to they play.

I've bought cheap Filipino cues before ..... my advise is DON'T. You get what you paid for. Cheap hardware, cheap wood, poorly made and generally not straight.

Having said that I still have two very nice Linds cue from Phillipines and am looking to add Viattorre and Edwin Reyes cues.
