I am glad to say that I had the opportunity to deal with Darrel over the phone and I am the proud owner of his MO-8 Chess cue. I live in Arizona but am from his area, turns out that his boss is a good friend of mine. Darrel priced the cue to me and with no questions asked I paid him his asking price. I will personally pick the cue up in January and take it to uncle Bob Meucci and have him sign it and put it away with the rest of my collection. See you around Jan 20th Darrel and thank you sir for selling me this wonderful historical Meucci collectors cue!
