Damn that is a great looking cue and an even better price. Best of luck with the sale.

If I had the money lying around I would grab this in a heartbeat.
 
Thanks for the bump Koop.

It's actually very well made cue and hits well with straight grained maple forearm ... maybe I'll take close up photos of the inlays.

Hey buddy,

I call em like I see em and ANYONE looking for a cue under $400 would be absolutely nuts(IMO) to pass on this.

Dammit again!
 
Good looking cue, does this cue have a signature on the forearm?

Ahh .. now I understand why some of you might have been hesitant.

This cue is unmarked .. this is NOT the cue signed by Mr. Balabushka on the forearm or by Mr. Helmstetter :D

THERE is no signature anywhere ... just a clean cue.

Adams Japan also makes separate Helmstetter and Balabushka line of cues.

I do have a "certificate" that came with the cue (have to find it somewhere) if someone really wants it but to be honest, it's just a piece of computer generated paperwork.
 
OK, I don't think my fonts were big enough .. .maybe some people missed them.


SOLD!!!

The pin on this cue is 5/16x14 and not 5/16x18.

And to the person who PM'd me with $200 offer, I'm not replying the PM :rolleyes:
 
i think $325 shipped is a great price for that cue.. and whoever offered you 200 should be ashamed of themself... i dont understand why people cant make a reasonable offer when they try to talk somebody down in price..

here is a bump for you..

Thanks for the bump Chris.

I think I should've started the price at $3000 and come down to give people sense of "value" for this cue. I think the lowest price I've seen for this cue was around $600 on the internet. And mine is not too far from being new.

bumpity bump
 
I got a bite on this cue ... now someone pony up the dough before it's too late!!!
 
MAC, I already offered you this cue awhile ago and you showed no interest.

Snooze you lose, the cue is sold!!!

Whoever bought this cue, if you are unhappy at all with it and would like to sell the shaft please let me know.
4.5 oz is right up my alley.

Thanks,
Koop
 
Got it!

Jazz, I got the cue yesterday, well packaged and shipped quick. Thanks for the great transaction. This cue is awesome, some of you that looked at this one really missed out on a great deal of a cue. The points and veneers are razor sharp and even, a very well made cue. It hits great too. I'm a big fan of the traditional Balabushka style cues and was considering having one made by one of the custom guys. Was quoted $1500 plus setup fees because this isn't a style he commonly does by one that I won't name. So I got a cue that is as good as any I have seen for a fifth of the price I was about to pay! Thanks again Jazz!!!

Koop, I'm gonna keep the shaft for now but if I change my mind, you'll be the first to know.
