I own 6 Olneys and unless I need the money bad I would not sell any of them......and you know why? same reason, they play better than any cue I have owned and I'm playing much much better.
Bump and best of luck with the sale.

But as I said in the original post, I don't much care for wraps and the shaft is only 12.8 as opposed to 13. Also, I'm leaning a way from the big metal pins. But the jury is still out on that, so if that were my only thing, the cue wouldn't be for sale. For me to make this cue what I'd really want, I'd order another shaft, and get a leather or lizard wrap. That's another $300-$400 I'd have to put into it. Believe me, I waffled on the idea for a long time. And if I can't get what I want for this cue, I may still do that anyway.
And if I do sell this cue, I could well see myself owning another Olney someday too. I just want a player and a breaker. I'm not a collector and I would most likely never have multiple cues laying around (unless I was trying something new).
Thanks

BTW..Good luck with your sale.....pm me if your interested in trades??
Respectfully,
Dale
Shevek said:Dale, thanks for sticking up, but that's OK. Sorry, no trades at this time. I jumped into the custom cue thing a little early, and right now I just want to experiment on cheap sneakies.
Tom, who did the wrap on the bottom cue? What kind of lizard is that? Are you happy with the results? I wasn't previously interested in leather or lizard wraps until I discovered that some people have the skill to put them on without a seam showing.
Thanks
Remy said:Shevek I did not mean to take this thrad to another level I just asked a question that's all but Iif I was out of line I apologize.
I had a feeling certain people would chime in with their bitter comments.
Again best of luck with the sale.
