How much $$$ do you have invested???
- Thread starter Jersey
- Start date
Heh. That was a typo. I keep my bridge HEAD in the case.
Used Tim Scruggs cue for playing: $1250 (Thanks, cueaddicts !)
Break cue, Falcon JB: about $200 10 years ago.
Smooth papers, playing gloves, Q-clean etc. $50
Adds up to $1600.
Edit: Oh, and a hard unknown leather case. About $200. So, it all adds up to $1800

Too Much 
Cues I will play with:
3 BCM (Bryan Mordt) cues
1 Capone
1 Jerry Franklin Southwest
1 Petree Jump/Break being made as we speak.
1 Whitten 3x6 case
1 original Centennial 2x4 case
Retail on above probaby about $8500
Cues I won't play with (part of My Father's and my collection)
$$$ makes me sick to think about it
All cues mentioned are for sale also - except the Southwest.
Most of you have seen the collection listed for sale in the classifieds at some point or another - everything from Schick to Szamboti to Gina to Balabushka.
Also have one of the fanciest Ariel Carmeli's to date. Ivory, ivory and more ivory.

i skipped some of the middle pages so i might be the cheapest one here lol
I shoot with a players 3 piece cue that I found left at a bar, i waited for a week to see if someone claimed and they didnt so ive laid claim to it. I was given a soft case by someone else... I bought a 12$ box of chalk, a 19$ tip tool, i splurged on a 40$ measles cue ball for practice and a week ago i bought 5 pool/biliard books second hand on amazon.com for a total of 22$ shipped.
So I think im into it for around 12 + 19 + 40 + 22 = 93$ and the house i play out of has a free table
Once I am good enough to be able to tell the difference between my cue and anice que I will pick one up, i've been playing for less than a year.

Beginners cue "Luxor" with 1/1 hard case - 100 ?
great for beginners and even amateurs, a good comrad from my army time still plays with it
Upgraded to Jim Davis - 280 ?
Didn't know it was a decal cue when I bought it :angry:
The Luxor served as a break cue from then on
3/5 case for 20?
Mythus by Marathon (chinese Sledgehammer) - 125?
sold the before mentioned Luxor for 25? to my comrad
1st series 314 shaft with 5/16x18 joint matching my Jim Davis cue - 200?
2/4 real leather case - 150?
Sold Jim Davis w/ 314 to a team mate for 150?
Mezz Z 606 - 700?
great playing cue, comes with Moori medium tip and WD700 is is a much nicer shaft than the 314 - and it's a real cue, not some maple stick with decal foil on it
So by now I'm at 1.400 ? and the next 300 ? are already planned with the Mezz Extension and a used Espiritu B/J
I'll keep the Mythus by Marathon for a while as a jump cue until I've decided between Airshooter, Bunjee and Franz Hauber as I can't fit three butts in my case but have a jumpstick pouch on the side of the bag
I want more cueball control on the break so that's why I want the Espiritu having a normal ferrule and leather break tip, but I find B/J's hard to jump with, so I'm looking for a good jumpstick as well
Adding the jumper it's another 100-150?, so I get fairly close to the 2.000 ? barrier
And I start to think about a self designed BCM or the Ariel Carmeli 404 - so add 2.000 more my 2010 or something:embarrassed2:

Too much IMHO.........
So far it's a little over a grand, which consists of my Judd, Case and a few accessories. In a month with the addition of my 2 Prewitts, that price is going to hit the 7k mark. By the end of the year with my Gina being made as well as a few others.....I don't EVEN want to think about it........
