I'm looking for something in the quality range of an 80-90's Joss, Schon, Richard Black, Predator, etc. I'll entertain anything especially if it is hand built.

I have a McDermott D-12 that was built in the late 80's. I would consider trading this if it makes sense.

Thanks for helping me find my next cue.

i have a schon r1 a reeves and a pat diveney in the for sale section all are in that range

Good pickup Stan, I was eyeing that one for a while.
 
i have a 1985 joss that looks like the color of money cue except the veneers are green, and slotted diamonds in the forearm as well. very excellent shaft made of tiger maple. wrap is dirty and finish is worn but it hits great and is perfectly straight. pm me if you want to talk anymore about it
 
I have an Ariel Carmelli Tulipwood. Ivory dash ringwork. 2 matched shafts @ 3.9 oz. 12.8 mm & 13mm. 1 shaft has very lite play & other is new. Black textured leather wrap. Cue is pristine cond. ivor X ferrules . 19.2 oz & 58 " length. No longer available.

Personally, I think you're a little bit of a nut for getting rid of a D-12. I always thought that it was a very pretty cue, on of their best. You could have someone like KJ put a 314 on the end of it with matching ringwork and you'd really have something. They play a little soft due to the enormous amount of finish on them, but if you have the finish taken down to a reasonable level and done over, they really play quite well. I have a D-20 that was built after the D era ended and with a more reasonable finish program, it plays as well as any cue I've owned. That said, I'm getting my D-16 back from KJ tomorrow and I can't wait! Yes, its probably cheaper to pick up a nice $400 cue, but I can abandon any cue that has a chance of getting back to its former self. I suppose that means that I'm the dang nut! Oh well. Best of luck no matter where you wind up. Certainly a bunch of great cues offered to you here.

Mark,
I have a few cues $400 or under. One that I would sell for $375 shipped is a slightly used McDermott M7QR6. I have an almost new Universal #2 of 10 Limited Edition with Smart Shaft, beautiful cue, suggested Retail over $700, shipped for $400. I have one of the best McDermott players, the EK-3, leather wrap, Chess designs, shipped for $350. I have a couple Ek-1 McD, one with new Gracio tan leather wrap shipped for $225, one Linen shipped for $150. I have an old Palmer that was reconditioned by Toeboy a few years ago. Two shafts. Leather wrap. This cue plays great and has a good feel. Shipped for $400. I have some old Hueblers under $400. One new unplayed Huebler AS-H6 for $525 shipped. I have an unknown custom with two shafts I picked up on ebay. It has an "H" on the buttcap. Will sell for $250 shipped. More I cannot think of but will add later if you do not find one. Bob H

Post a pic of that last one...my first name starts with an "H", I might be interested in it myself. ;) Actually, I'm trying to get my son interested in playing, so it'd be for him if that ever happens...
 
Give Paul Sumrall (S&S Cues) a call at 806-778-1957 or his PM is sonofthunder and get one made to your specs. He'll set you up with a nice player for the money.
