Gentlemen,

After 50 + years of pool and cigarette smoking the later has just caught up to me. Stage 4 Lung Cancer, inoperable. Heading off to Gamma Knife and Chemo in th next two weeks but, it's just a chance to extend survival, not a cure for the disease. Hence, everything must go. Includes my cherished Diamond Pro AM w light (about 1.5 years old), cues, antique spectator chairs, some limited art work, house cues and wall raack, balls etc. You can see some of the items in my signiture line and I'm grateful to have Whright Shot with some photos. Guys, I'm not going to donate this stuff away, I want a fair price (What's a Dick Black, Black Baron with four shafts worth??). But, the wife does not play and would not know the fair value on these so I'd like to move it alll out pretty quickly. Let me know by PM what you are looking for and what you might what to pay. I'll send pics and specs as best I can. We have some stock photo's taken on various occassions but can get more given some time. Everything located in Florence SC.

Mike
 
Sorry to hear this as it really puts things in perspective. Keep your chin up though because it simply amazing what modern medicine can accomplish. GLWS's
 
Have someone help you photograph and document all the items you're looking to sell. It kinds like you have a wonderful collection and I hope you get fair prices. Do that by not rushing with bad photos and incomplete descriptions. I'm very sorry that you are in this situation and would help gladly if you were closer. All the best to you and your family.

Ps. This is the nicest table I've ever played on. I spent many of Sunday afternoons getting my ass wh. ped at straight pool by a true Pool Player. I had never played a single game of 14.1 until i met Mr. Mike. I cannot express how much I enjoyed learning from and playing with you Mike. I will never forget our times together. You introduced me to Custom Cues, (i thought a Predator was as good as money could buy), taking me to meet Ray Martin, showing me that real pool is a classy game, how to play safeties, introduced me to AZ, the list goes on and on. I honestly didnt realized all you had done for my game. I will carry these things with me forever and my cue will never be drawn from its case without thinking of you Buddy! Talk to you soon. We arent giving up yet!

Mike Im so sorry to hear that you ill. Cigarettes took years from my grandparents lives and im lucky that I quit years ago otherwise i wouldnt be writing you this email.

Im interested in your richard black cues and the titlist conversion but dont want to offend you with low ball prices. So im thinking would you mind telling me ruffly what you want for them and ill tell you if I can afford to pay that?

Final note: Im sick right now myself and I believe that playing pool is one of the few things keeping me alive. Are you sure you want to stop playing, or is it that you physically cannot play.

I always reply to people who email me on this site so ill let you know either way. FYI diamond table kick butt! :thumbup:
