I have four cues that I am listing in one post to conserve space. All of these cues are in excellent condition. For full specs, just PM me.

Cue 1: Schon STL4: This cue is in practically brand new condition, other than the slightest bluing of the shaft. Weighs 20 ounces with a weightbolt that can be removed/changed. Shaft is 4.4ox, 13mm w/Milk Dud tip.
SOLD!! Thanks!

Cue 2: Phillippi ebony full-splice/fancy sneaky with Intarsia inlays. Cue was just refinished by Rick Phillippi and the shaft is brand new. Weighs 19.4oz with a weightbolt so it can be changed. Shaft is 3.7oz, 12.75mm, LePro tip.
SOLD!! Thanks!

Cue 3: Espiritu 4 point/4 veneer, lizard print leather wrap, white buffalo turquoise notched diamond inlays. Has a few dings on the forearm, nothing through the finish. The shaft is brand new. Cue weighs 19.0oz w/weightbolt. Shaft is 3.9oz, 12.8mm, LePro tip.
SOLD!! Thanks!

Cue 4: Joss N-7 Color of Money cue with upgrades, and has just been refinished by Scott Sherbine of Proficient Billiards and is like new with the exception of some shaft bluing. Upgrades are a buckhorn joint and a beautiful black lizard print leather wrap...looks like the real thing. Cue weighs 19.0oz w/weightbolt. Shaft is 3.7oz, 13.2mm, Super Pro tip (I will change it, if you desire).
SOLD!! Thanks!

Hey Joe,
Cue #3 has buffalo turquoise inlays and I think at one point it was mine (I think I bought it brand new) and plays jam up. I really like the tapper on Russ Espiritu shafts :)
 
Would you take a Taurus Tracker 44 in stainless steel for that phillipi? It only has 50rds through it. :D

i would have been all over that schon if i didnt just buy a bob frey hustler.

wouldnt take a carolina sneaky thats been test hit in on trade on the schon would u joe?
 
just wanted to point out that technically thats only 3 cues under $500, the 4th cue is of course exactly $500. if i hadnt heard that espiritu cues tend to be a little whippy, i'd be sorely tempted. that is a pretty looking cue.

Esperitu

Actually, Espiritu cues are well known for their playability. He makes a well made cue at a great price. Looking at the joint setup here I'd imagine this cue plays as solid as most 5/16x14 SS joints. IMHO.

The new shaft is not an Espiritu shaft. It was fitted to the cue by Cory Barnhart. It has a nice, firm hit to it. Also, I have never thought of Espiritu cues as having a "whippy" hit. Quite the opposite. Most people that I know who do not like Espiritu cues don't like them because they feel the hit is too hard, not too whippy.

I understand the technicality. I will take $499 for the Joss N-7 just for the sake of clarity....:thumbup:

I am sure Joe would do $499 on it. :p
I have to say that Joe is probably top 3 best sellers on AZ Billiards and my past transaction with him went smooth. Joe always has great deals on nice cues. As for the hit of the Espiritu I owned one and it played very nicely. :)

Haha you beat me to it on the $499! :grin-square:
 
A ton of trade offers so far, but nothing concrete. Would prefer some cash offers..doctor bills to be paid.

I figure I would make sure you all see this. Quoted for truth.

Bump for a great seller.

Thanks Logic. These are some very nice cues at great prices. Prices when new:

Schon STL-04......$700
Phillippi Intarsia.....$800
Espiritu................$925
Joss N-7..............$850 (not including the leather wrap and buckhorn joint)

I am offering each of these cue at around 50-60% of value. All are straight, only the Espiritu has a few minor dings (not through the finish). The Espiritu and Phillippi come with brand new shafts (fitted by Cory Barnhart). The Joss was refinished last week by Scott at Proficient.

I have had literally a ton of trade offers, but in the case of several, the trader has wanted retail value for their items while I have these at wholesale prices.

No problem, though, I will entertain all offers. However, it is difficult for me to come out of a deal in decent shape if I trade a $1000 retail cue for a $300 retail sneaky.

Thanks for listening.

I had a question about the dents in the Espiritu forarm. They are not through the finish. There are two dents that you can feel if you search them down. Here is a hugely blown-up image (16"x18") of them, and you can still barely make them out.
