Jim Oswald got me started in the Collecting of Pool Cues in 1982.
Anyway, as many of you know, I have gone through 8 years of Major Life-Threatening Medical issues that I have slowly battled through and have built my--Mobile ProShop and Repair Center and Business. So, I am finally at the point where I can physically get into a Brick and Mortar Pro-Shop that can support my 'Pro-Shop, Repair Center and Memorabilia Store'.
The Location that I am closing on is in a Plaza that has a Pool Hall that currenty has 12 Pool Tables and a Full Bar and Liquor Service.
My Storefront is right next door to the Pool Hall but would be its own Business.
I have worked over the last 3 years to build my clientelle and inventory so I can support the business. However, I have very minimal cash reserves, so I need to liquidate some inventory to cover the first year of rental and operating expenses, so I can take some of the stress of generating revenues to a minimum for the first year or two of opening the Brick and Mortar Store.
So, I need to generate about another $10,000 in cash to have the Lease, Build-out of Store and small reserves to get the doors open and business going.
All of my inventory in the store is owned outright by my business and I have an inventory that will compete with the Old Billiards and Bagels of the Past in Gresham, OR, before Jim Closed up and Passed away a couple years ago. Jim operated his business for over 30 years and focused on personal relationships when u were in the process of buying a new pool cue or something in the pool world. He allowed u to hit with any cue in inventory, this included, over 100 cues that were over, $1,000 and up to $10,000 cues.
Jim as well as I have always followed the approach that a pool cue should be touched and felt and stroked before a purchase was made. And that Is what I plan on continuing to offer in my store.
So, I am offering some of my inventory and some of my personal collection to generate some cash reserves.
I will post the pictures of many of the cues and cases and Books, Memorabilia and such that I have until I have met the $10,000 number that I need to get me up and going.
I currently have, over:
------600------ Pool Cues from Vintage Collectibles starting in 1939 up through Many 1970, 1980's, 1990's and all the way to the Current Models.
------200------ Pool Cue Cases, from 1x1 to 6x12, cases from older Collectible Centennial cases to Its George to Current Castillo Butterfly Cases, to Dealer Cases 12x24 and everything in between.
------1000-----Accessories, Memorabilia, Shirts, Books, DVDS, VHS Instructional, Matches, EVERYTHING POOL AND BILLIARDS related!!!
ALSO--I have the LARGEST SELECTION of ---tips----from the 1960 Champions to the 1990's 1st Generation MOORI tips, all the way through the Most Current Tips in Inverntory in the state of Florida. I have over 120 Different Tips and over 9000 Individual Tips in Inventory. I have-- 2 Large Cigar Humidors are utilized to store the older vintage tips to maintain the correct temperature, humidity and environment so the leather and glues and resins and tanning components do not degrade.
I offering full service Cue Maintenance and Building Services for local as well as Abroad Customers.
I dont want to go on and on. . . . . . . . . . . . .
But I wanted to let you know what I am doing, So you know where I am at, I am in the State of Florida, City of Largo. We are very lucky to have one of the most saturated areas in the US of Pool Players, Pool Halls and Facilities that Have Pool Tables, Players and Tournaments and Leagues. It is one of the few areas that Pool is still strong and maintaining its hold on the entertainment area of Pool.
So, PM me if you have any questions, my email is michaelkennedy_1@yahoo.com
If you want to email me or send me some pictures, advice, or whatever. I have taken my time to try to do this properly so I am succesful on my Pool business venture.

I will thanks EVERYONE, now, for your help, purchases and such in the near future.
