Ebony and Maple, No Veneers

Thanks. I watch ebay but miss stuff. A couple incredible deals went by me that are still killing me.

I have been focusing on late 60s to early 70s National and Gandy cues. If you search you'll find I have posted some. I have a post in the wanted section with my inventory and wanted list. I am trying to fill the 10 cue Gandy catalog. Im half way there with several multiples.

Also early McDermott, Murrey, Early Viking, Karl Mayer, Joss, Fedunka, and others. Not Meucci.

I do like the odd and obscure too.

Sometimes buy, sometimes just research. I have folders on my PC with thousands of pictures.

I recently hauled out my collection. It was in storage for more than 5 years. Still working on inventory and pictures. I lost some records when changing computers.
I browse Ebay for certain Custom cues, today a Huebler from Pauls Custom shows listed. However, it was in bad condition, they came with two shafts this one only had one. The guy was asking almost $3500 for the cue when its value in the current condition was closer too $1500. In the future, I will keep my open for you, please do the same for me.

Peace Doc✌🏿

Huebler prices have gotten stupid, especially the Custom Shop cues. I have a few Hueblers, and snagged a couple lately in great condition for a bargain. But you have to be fast. I missed and absolute treasure Huebler a couple months ago. I got out-sniped in the last few seconds.

I do look for Hueblers as well.

I grew up outside St. Louis, Missouri and Paul’s shop was located in Linn, Missouri. The owner of the pool room I used to frequent took me out there in 1972 for the first time and Paul gave me a tour of his facility. My, first Huebler was a custom Chessman with two ebony shafts. At that time Huebler cues were the only cues I purchased in the 1970s, I bought a different cue from his custom shop every until 1979 when joined the Army. Now, I have 8 models from his custom shop, cues from his custom shop are all I purchase today. So if I see any production cue that are reasonable and nice models I will let you know.

Paul, was really one hell of a guy, and a good friend.

Peace ☮️

Doc, here is an Ebony Huebler that isn’t over priced at all if it’s straight.

I'm already watching it. I already have a few, so I don't grab those unless it's a super bargain. Got one in New condition a couple months ago for $80.

I'm really looking for higher models with points and veneers.

I totally understand my, friend there currently 3-Cues from the Custom Shop listed. I can’t purchase any right now, because of the Ivory. The Korean Government is cracking down on everything coming from the United States, because of Trump’s bullshit Tariffs on South Korean goods. Until, that blows over all I can watch, which I will continue to do.

I won't risk the ivory purchase myself here. Not worth the potential trouble. Those are international sales aren't they? Japan?
 
Yes, I think two of them are from Japan, and there over priced in my opinion.
Yeah, that's why I said Huebler prices are crazy. Other sellers see those and post higher asking prices. It's changing the market.

Lots of cues from Japan on ebay these days. Lots overpriced but occasionally a bargain. I grabbed one and was surprised how fast it got here.

That’s the problem with the current market, and that’s why almost all those cues will not sell. Then, at some point in the future the prices will correct and those who do buy will be stuck with cues that lost their value, kinda sad, but a sucker is born every minute.
