Hey Guys,
I know it's a little on the borderline to refer eBay auctions here that aren't your own - I know that some times in the past I thought I had found an auction that few others knew about and didn't appreciate it getting exposed because that just bumps up the bids. However, this one failed to get any bids last round, so it seems that it isn't that great a "foul" to refer this one. I bought one of his maccassar ebony prongs and it was well-made. There are some nice pieces here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121536465671?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I don't know the seller or have any affiliation with the auction - kinda wish I had the cash.
Good Luck,
Gary
 
I have purchased a ton, well, maybe not a ton, but received some very decent deals on great looking wood off EBay.

I will go with Joey on this one. On looking on what he had in the pic, I am almost positive that there isn't anywhere close to $1200 in value there.

Saved some of the best for last.

So basically he is stating that he pawned off his junk first.

I have to admit, I didn't count the number of pieces and then divide them into the $1200 to get a per piece average - my bad.
My thought was there is some nice wood there, already seasoned in his Florida shop and a new, aspiring cuemaker could acquire a lot of wood, turning squares to tapered rounds, in one place and not have to shop for months or years. Even if the buyer were not in Florida, the seasoning process would be far shorter than buying wet (8%-20% moisture content) that we often are stuck with.
Whether it's worth it or not is an individual decision.
My 2 cents,
Gary

Looking at them, I don't think they're worth $600.
For $600, you can buy a lot of non-pre made good stuff.
His burl piece is the only one that stands out .
The KOA's are the wrong sizes.
Meh!

Being an aspiring cue maker I offered him 600 and he replied with a simple "no thank you" Apparently feeling my offer was too insulting to even merit a counter.
