I have a bunch of cues for sale, several of which I have posted here in the past. Given the dead cue market, I'm not going to go to the trouble of posting everything here, but the following cues will be heading for ebay over the next couple of weeks, so if you are TRULY interested in any of these at FAIR prices - no dealers please - then send me a PM for pics. Basically, realizing the market is dead and not currently broke, I'm not going to sell these so low that a dealer is going to be able to make anything substantial, so please don't ask me to send you pics of every single cue. Thanks in advance.

I have to admit - I'm finally understanding why sellers here prefer not to post prices and pics and would prefer to send out via email. Just too much work and too little return. Not anyone's fault - just a tough market these days.

As usual, trolls welcome - blast away :)

why?

Please don't take this as sarcasm, but I'm wondering why it's less work to send out multiple emails than it is to post all information one time at the beginning of a thread? :confused:
 
Try it - I have. Basically, I have 'form emails' set up for each cue, with pics and specs attached. Much easier to send those out to individual inquiries than to try to post the detail here. Last time I did that I got complaints that I didn't post enough pics, with all sorts of recommendations that weren't practical for my situation. To be perfectly blunt and honest, I don't expect to sell more than 1-2 of these cues through AZ - AZ'ers in general expect sellers to mark up cues by about 30%, and so make offers about 30% below posted prices. I sell my cues for a bottom-line price (generally), so they generally end up back in the closet or on ebay. But when the market is good, AZ is a great place to sell - the seller can cut prices a little below ebay because he's saving fees, and the buyer can grab a cue quickly if he wants it, and avoid the ebay wait and haggling with unknowns. We'll see.

Hilarious! What's funny Duane, is that the last time I did this I didn't sell a single cue to any of those who asked for pics/specs of all of them. But I did sell several cues to people who requested info for 1-2 cues. Problem is those who wanted all cue info were dealers who were trying to pick a few cues out of the lot to flip.

Overall, I promise to lose money on these cues :)

I'll send out emails to those who have PM'd me, sometime this evening.
 
thanks

Thanks for the info runscott :) One question answered! (now I have to figure out how to address the other hundred things that perplex me on this forum...) Good luck with your sales!

Since your willing to lose money on the deal, please send me pics of the vulcanite cue.

Please send a PM if you want pics and details on any of the above cues - it's the only way for me to keep track of who I've responded to.

I still have to gather photos for some of the cues (the ones without '*' by them in list above) so if you made requests that included some without '*'s, I'll get your info out tomorrow (all others responded to). Thanks.
 
Remaining pics (ones without '*'s above) will go out this afternoon.

Also, the pics/prices I am sending out (with exception of Kam) are for continental U.S. only - I don't normally ship outside of the continental U.S. unless I've dealt with you before and cue is non-ivory.

Please send a PM request so I can keep track of it. And I'll need your email address in the PM.

Also, if you request pics/specs for multiple cues, and some have not yet been photographed, I hold off sending anything until I have all of your requests ready - just so I can keep track of it. It's very confusing trying to keep track of requests when you have lots of cues for sale and aren't used to it. But I think I can do it, if you send PM's with your email address ...:)
 
All PM's replied to with email and requested pics/specs.

Also, I now have composed a single email with one representative pic of each remaining cue, prices, general description. If interested, PM your email for a copy - you can review and get additional pics, details. Some are off to ebay tomorrow evening.

Thanks.
 
Burnin a hole in my PayPal account!

Heya Scott, I've got $800 burnin a hole in my PayPal account ;)
 
The Lambros is sold. Thanks to the 20 or so who asked for pics/specs/prices on that cue. My apologies to those who were waiting for counter-offers that never came. I hate rejecting offers over just a few $$$, but I honestly felt I had to break even on this one, which is what ended up happening.
