It's my first time selling something here, figured I'd try it before delving into the depths of Ebay. Recent financial commitments mean (I.E. Buying a Pool Table) I have to part with a really nice solid Capone cue I've been playing with for a few months. As you can see it's a not-quite-Plain Jane, having silver stitch rings and a really nice leather wrap.

Weight is approx. 18oz with no weight bolts (Which is how I've been playing with it) and includes three weight bolts (They seem to be 2 x 0.5oz and 1 x 0.2oz" but I don't have a super-accurate scale at home so may be a little off with these measurements.) that take it up approx 1.2oz in total. (That was how it was when I first got it.)

The overall condition is about 85%. I had the butt section refinished by Mike Capone when I first got it due to some seperation of the finish near the butt cap, he did a superb job and it looks just like new. Everything else is original. The only other thing I can see is there is a very small chip in the joint ring of one of the shafts if you look closely. The leather wrap shows normal wear (I.E. A little smoother texture where you hold it near the butt) but has no scratches or marks, the seam is perfect and unnoticeable.

It has two 12.75mm shafts. One shaft has been played with and has normal wear and no major dings. Other shaft has not been played since I got it and appears close to new. Both shafts have some kind of layered tip (I was told one was a Moori when I bought it but don't know how to prove it) that are serviceable but could use replacing depending on how fussy you are about tips. Ferrules are a hard, shiny slightly translucent material (Melamine?) and are 1/2" long. Joint is Uni-Loc Radial pin with Capone's inscription and includes plastic joint protectors.

Like most Capone cues the butt is cored all the way through with a laminated maple dowel. It has a very solid hit and feel that rewards a smooth stroke.

With it is a Joe Porper JP Leather 2x4 case. The overall condition is about 60%. It has had plenty of use and has multiple small scratches and dirt marks and the color is faded a little but has no major tears or rips. All the zips are working perfectly and Joe Porper guarantees his cases for life. (I had to send it back to have the main pocket zip replaced a while ago and had no problems doing this.)

I'm looking for $550 for both the cue and case, plus actual shipping costs by the method of your choice. (USPS, FedEx, UPS etc.) If you want just the cue or case make me an offer and I'll see what I can do, but I'd prefer to sell them both together if I can.

Anyone in the Southern California area is welcome to contact me to see it in person. I can do Paypal or personal check if you don't mind waiting for it to clear. Please PM me if you have any questions.

Case pictures added. Case includes bag of foam fillers for customizing the fit of shafts and butts that I've never used. (No idea how you'd get them out afterwards.)
