Hello Everyone. I haven't been very active here since I sold most of my cue collection off a couple of years ago. I'm still not playing much pool and I just quit my job so I've decided to sell my main playing cue which I used for about 3 or 4 years.
Chris told me he would charge $1700 to make this cue today. Apparently amboyna is very expensive and hard to get these days. I'm asking (See Below) but feel free to make an offer.

The cue is easily in 90% condition. The pigskin wrap is flawless and it rolls straight with just a very, very, slight wobble. The main flaws are two mid-sized finish dings. One is on the butt and the other on the forearm (pictured). One shaft has seen semi-heavy play (basically about 3 days a week for 3 or 4 years.). This shaft also has some finish nicks around the joint collar. Chris cleaned up the shafts and they look great. He said he can mend the finish ding so it can't be felt but that there will be a light ring where the ding was. If you buy the cue and want any work done on it or if you want a new shaft, then I will take it to Chris before mailing it to you. If you don't want one of the shafst I'll take $75 off the price.

Updated Sept. 2015:
I'm still not playing much pool and have decided I need to sell my Nitti. One shaft has seen about 14 nights of play since being cleaned.
Price now lowered to $950 + shipping and PP. Thanks.

And the specs...
Joint and butt are not ivory but the ferrules are.
The tip on the lesser used shaft is 12.7mm if I remember.
The used shaft I had taken down to under 12.5 (I can get it measured exactly if need be.)
The weight of the cue can be adjusted with weight bolts. Again by memory I think I have it at 19.2 or 19.3.
 
So 2 days and no comments. I'll take that as a sign my price is too high. Lowering it to $1500.
I really haven't kept up with what Nitti's are selling for and I'm not sure how much the ding affects the value. Any offer or feedback would be appreciated:)
 
I picked the used shaft up from Chris and he did a great job cleaning it up. It looks new except for the finish dings near the joint. The tip is new and the ivory ferrule is 12.5mm.
I also got the actual weights. The butt is 15.8 with a .9 oz bolt that can be removed. With shafts it is 19.2 (both are the same).
He said a new shaft would be $175 and to refinish and rewrap it would be $250.
Again all offers will be considered and comments are appreciated. I'm not interested in trades though. If it doesn't sell in a month I'll be happy to keep it:)
 
Cue is again for sale at a significant price drop.
$1025 + shipping and pp. $950 w/ only one shaft.
 
Its that time for the yearly bump:)

I decided I'm willing to sell for under $1000.
Price lowered to $925 + PP & Shipping. ($875 with 1 shaft)

I am in Melbourne Florida for anyone local (or within driving distance) that would like to see the cue in person.
