You said it before I could. LOL. How'd you like to have an 8 hour session shooting with that thing?
Your right arm would look like Hulk Hogan's pythons while your left would look like something found on Clay Aiken

The "Celtic Prince" is an awesome looking cue.
I love the blackn white design. I think the cuemaker wents bananas during his worked on this.
My fav is the Icarus:

Its not that expensive (expensive enough for me ;-) but a real beau.
Also i think this Gina is a expensive one:

That intimidator cue would sure help to avoid the bar fights!!!
APA sleeper said:I'm pretty sure Ernie of Ginacue was trying to sell his ivory masterpiece for a few thousand dollars back in the sixties. FORTY YEARS AGO!
$400,000 is what he wanted-firm. I tried to negoiate a better deal-he wouldnt budge. For its time period (Dec 66-the year I was born) it was way ahead of what Bushka was building. Ernie is the most artistic cue maker ever, he is so creative and artistic. He might be the best cue maker alive in the artistic and creativity catagory, even Barry said that. His cues hit very good not great but thats my opinion-for many players they are the best hitting cues ever.
Someday I might make a move on that $400,000 cue but not right now, is it worth that much? Perhaps, the problem is its not liquid, it would be hard to resell, its a very narrow market up that high, there might be 10-20 players for a cue like that. Can the big cue guys afford it? Sure but again its hard to re-sell, a $30,000 Gus takes a day to sell or less. Having almost a half a million tied up in something that is hard to resell becomes more expensive, a Picasso fora million is nothing and is an easy sell. Its all about the liquidity and upside investment value that sells big ues. Again a $30,000 Gus mightr be worth $35,000 in a few years and will still be an easy sale.
The higher the price the market becomes the problem you cant sell it as fast and the % return on the investment aint there.
I dont buy many cues for the reasons outlined above, I buy them because I love them and never sell them, but tieing up $400,000 is a tough pill to swallow for most of the people in the world and thats one of the reasons Ernie still has it. The Golden Bushka was bought right no big $$ changed hands, Ernie built his cue so again no $$$ changed hands. If pool was like golf Ernie could sell it for a million in a week. But it aint, so what its worth and what one can sell it for are 2 different numbers far apart.

I own that ivory Ginacue, I played with it for a week, it has 4 shafts,
I bought it from Ernie about 18 months ago, Its core drilled and dosent weigh 45oz its around 21 I think, It breaks great for me because its a front heavy cue-but thats crazy having a cue like that being used as a break cue, I had it in my case for a month, its in mint condition, its impossible to tell its been used for 4 hours of play and breaking for a while.
I rarely sell cues but I decided to sell this one I have a few other cues in mind I'm gonna buy and I only want to keep a ertain amount of $$$ tied up in cues. It is by far the most over the top cue I have ever owned. I wont lose any sleep if we dont get it sold, I dont regret buying it, I do have a few cues I regret buying but not big dollar ones, but since i rarely sell cues I have them still....

Did he really confirm a price of $299,000(!) for his most expensive collectors cue?
Is it the stick he made for Jim Rempe long years ago?

Actually it was authenticated, it's also known who he made it for, and where the wood came from. Just an FYI... the owner only buys all original, authenticated cues and he is a stickler. A nice guy, but a stickler to his buying criteria.
