First off, hello to everyone. I have a cue I want to sell, and I'm new here. I understand that people may be reluctant to buy from someone they don't know, so, if no one here is interested, I'll list it on Ebay, but at least I'll hopefully get a little input before doing so.
It's a plain but classy looking Joss I've shot with occasionally for a while now. Back trouble keeps me from playing frequently any more, so it hasn't seen huge amounts of play. Also, a couple of weeks ago, I bought a brand new Joss shaft for it. I didn't really like the diameter of the old one, so I bought a new one and sold the old one cheap to someone who wanted it. The new shaft has been played with twice, and the butt/new shaft combo is very straight, even though the new shaft wasn't custom made for my specific butt.
The cue was originally sold to me as a 20 oz. cue, though, unlike others here, I don't have any means of weighing the precise amount of both butt and shaft down to little fractions. (This is just a simple and relatively inexpensive playing cue, so I'm hoping this is OK.) The new shaft is 13mm with a pro taper.
It's actually quite a nice hitting cue (but, of course, I fell in love with something else someone was selling just after getting my new shaft). Accordingly, the shaft is immaculate, and the butt is in good shape, though it has a couple of minor imperfections. It's been generally well cared for, but it is a playing cue.
If anyone's interested, please let me know, and ask any questions you'd like to ask. I've taken some photos, and will include them as long as I figure out how to do so after typing this. If you'd like to check my rep on Ebay, my username is mjtwelve. I haven't sold billiards stuff on eBay, but at least my feedback should give you an idea of the type of guy you're dealing with.
If no one here wants the cue, I'd at least appreciate some input on what you think the cue is worth. If anyone is interested, feel free to make an offer, or I'll add an asking price after I get a clue on what it's worth used. As an occasional eBayer, I'm set up as a verified PayPal person.
Thanks for looking,
Mike
P.S. - As you can see, the shaft is one of the brand new Joss ones with the Joss logo on the shaft itself. It cost $170, as you guys probably know.
