I hate to throw my 2 cents in being a old school Meucci fan but, a teammate of mine on my APA league bought a brand new custom BMC (Bob Meucci Cue) from the factory. He is a old man, retired and he is a sl4, not the best player. He thought Meuccis were the greatest like back in the days. His wife bought him a $1000, supposed to be a one of a kind BMC 2 Christmas' ago. I pleaded with him to get a custom from a cue maker off here but, it's his money and he wanted a BMC. First off, the cue took forever to get to him and when it did, it was a greenish white Gambler hybrid I've seen before with the script righting but his being $1000, he got the BMC logo on it and one shaft. I could feel all the inlays and joints through the finish. About 2 months later the one green long inlay cut another team member playing with it. The inlay was popped out and springy like a diving board. We looked the cue over and 2 more had popped out also, 3 total, one in the forearm and 2 in the butt sleeve. Meucci did take it back and fix it and he was without a cue again for months. I said I would never buy a Muecci unless it was an original and now with this info won't be doing that either.Meucciman, if you think this is a lie, pm me and I'll give you his name to check the facts.
As far as this thread, at least the seller on eBay states they are not original, "ORIGINALS" but, what if the new buyers aren't that honest and buy them to flip to unsuspected buyers? Bob can do what he wants with his company but, I personally think this is wrong. Put a 2 or a C for custom or something in the butt cap bolt area or something.
Good luck Bob Meucci.
