Hey Marcus,

You are right, I had to get in this one.

Sorry Ken and Bill, please be patient with me but I have to feed my box cue fever. You both are very aware of my fondness for these.

Ken, if you are talking about the box cue Szamboti that you sent me photos of several years ago, let me know. I might be able to resurrect the pictures (not sure).

Fatboy, with the comments by Ken and Bill, I know you are stand-up. Sorry about the earlier jab.

Will......( The box cue guy)

GO GET IT....I KNOW WITH YOU, IT WILL HAVE A GOOD HOME.

no worries, the are alot of air barrel people in this world and i understand completely, and didnt take offence to anyone here, i just want to be everyones friend, i keep the net a happy place, i have only once in 10 years of message boards got into a argument, and that will be my last. I dont like it when someone attacks another mans means of earing an honest living, and what iiI do is honest, i had problems with it 10 years ago and got in some trouble but corrected things and have had the same gig for 11 years, this guy decided to put all sorts of bad stuff about me on a message boad not knowing the facts, the mods booted him and took down the B.S.. so like I said I keep it happy and completely understand people not believing what i said because i have to hide behind a screen name, i awalys will here-to many sharp guys with bad intentions, on other forums with squares my name and city i live in is my handle, overtime when i know everyone better i'll email links to back up what i'm saying now. i'm 100% honest on boards too, never exaggerate anything, i have nice cars and a small....no shame its just the way i am, back in the day i wasnt the most honest guy i couldnt be i had to do what i had to do ,now i either dont say a word or i tell the truth, as you get to know me you'll like me, i'm nice but not soft when it comes to my $$$ sometimes i'll take the worst of it for my own personal reasons other timews i'll pass on something for what ever reason, growing up with nothing and grinding it out for years has taught me alot,


just telling everyone here a bit about me, i noticed this forum is alot of comments but not alot of relationships here, unlike most forums, its all good, i just want to be respected, believed, i'm not a one upper, i dont care what some one makes as long as they are happy, i hate to see people suffer-unless they bring it on themselfs, so now you know Fatboy a bit better, btw i weight 250 now because of back problems i'm just over 6'1" and usually weigh 235-240 so i'm not that fat, just an old name in the pool room from 20 years ago, i'm 40.

Nice to meet you. I'm glad I was sort of following this thread. You sound like you've actually been learning some life lessons. I don't have much natural ability but have always loved and appreciated the game.

I'm sort of retired now but got to play in a tourney friday. I haven't checked your bio but this is not the first time I have totally agreed with you. I guess I'm a cuelover too.

Former first lady of pool. We get no Secret Service to help us in and out of cars with cue cases and such. lol

Thanks,
Little debbie

It is also a pleasure on my part to meet you. This is the only forum I have ever posted on. I mainly do it because I have time on my hands running my pool hall and learning to make cues.

I do not have much, however I come from the same back ground that you speak of above, which was having nothing. I work very hard for what I have, and I appreciate and I am proud of my accomplishments.

But, when it comes down to judging my true worth all I have to do is look at the people I surround myself, the same people I call friends, and there is really where my wealth lyes.

So, I suspect in the end we are not remembered for what we have, as much as the effect we have had on others throughout our lives good or bad.
 
Thanks,
I think you're a bit younger and maybe wiser than I. It just took a bit longer for me to get it. Being a child of the 60's, 70's 80's & 90's...I think a bit of brain damage was done. I also think I pm'd you. But I don't really know. Confused after midnight. I must be getting old.

p,s, I almost all growed up. Can I get the 6 and the breaks? I'm just a girl.
 
Hey, I'm near the cascade mountains. They do run through several states.
Are we close? This is a long weekend and I'm having a killer BBQ on Monday.

:D :D

This will be an interesting auction not sure it will go to a dealer, with the rarity of Gus Cues of this quality out there for sale most collectors know the mark up from brokers so there may be some people on the side line. Remember this isnt a lot money for high end collectors.
I have heard of Balabushka's going from private collection to private collection for $100k and Gus cues approaching that as well.

Rich,
Thats what makes this auction very exciting. He refused to sell it off line to the snakes, (i really wish people would report this, so more people get their ID's yanked) and its a let it ride auction. The fact a cue this rare came to light, and their are notable collectors that usually don't buy from the bay. I bet, and hope, they make an exception here.

Thanks, Joe. We`ll have to see how it plays out. The cue would fit well with my box cue collection..........

Up to over 40K now, I think the current bidder is pretty serious about the cue.
Must be very serious seeing as how he upped his bid this morning.
The cue has generated a lot of interest and now I wonder if there will be a flurry of snipe bidders.

Lovely cue!
 
Man, good thing the Sopranos ain't on.. I will be watching the auction with popcorn in hand... :D

FORGET POPCORN, IT'S MEMORIAL DAY, WHERE'S THE KEG AT?

WHO'S GONNA CALL ME LATER AND LET ME KNOW WHO WON IT, AND HOW MUCH IT WENT FOR?

I THOUGHT I COULD GET TEXT MESSAGES FROM EBAY, BUT I HAVE TO BE A BIDDER TO GET THAT SERVICE, AND TRUST ME I'M NOT IN THE GAME ON THIS ONE.

Hey Guys,
I was the high bidder on this cue, until I found out that Will was my competitor... I would very much like to have this beautiful cue.. Reminds me of the monster box cue I used to have...
I agree with Eric about not turning it into a pissing contest..
I happen to be very good friends with Will and have spoken to him at lenght about this cue..
We have agreed that both of us like the cue, but don't want to ruin it for each other..
This cue fits PERFECTLY in Will's beautiful collection, and I hope he ends up with it..
Go get it Will...
Best,
Ken Kerner

So do you think if the names could be seen by the other bidders, it might have affected the way the bidding has gone AND the final price?
