Im looking for a players cue. I want a OLD straight sneeky.
What i need in cue:

Old style click hit (not a cracked hit click) If you own one you know that sound. Think OLD blood/TS/ect......
Be right AT or under 19.2 oz
59" perfect
58" ok
57" No NO
Dont care what it looks like, as long as its straight (together and apart)
and the shaft wood is also old. (no new shafts on old butt please)
You players know what im talking about, the old cue with 200 owners
that hits a ton.....[:
Im looking for a cue with a used value of around 300-400...
NO production cues
Im looking for a old beater with a solid hit..
I will also consider wrapped cues.

My past cues from, 1990-1998
Black
Phippi.

JW
SW
cue tec (just kidding)



(this is assuming i get permission too trade out of my spot)

I will for partial payment of cue, give my 6th batch spot for a pick
of Ernie Martinez.
This spot is under the 54, so you get at a discounted price.
I wish i could hold out for this cue offer, as i have waited awhile.
But i need a playing cue now in the two weeks or less.
I will pay the shipping, add 100.00 cash and give my spot

Send pics of what you have too offer.
Please no issue cues.......
I have a PM into 12squared, making sure its ok to offer my spot,
if not ill just buy the cue when its my turn.
Win Win 4 me:D
PS: the last batch had left overs for sale, next batch is due
like SOON, this spot will have first rights too left over cues also.
something too consider for you collectors.

Here is the link too list: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=70953&highlight=ernie

Thanks all

EDIT: Just got the ok from 12SQ. too trade out. So send pics of what you have.
Best chance too get a Ernie cue fast.

I took this from a old post.
It list the price for ONLY the top 54 (im 51)
I would suggest a savings of at least 300.00
And if you buy a fancy one, at around 1600
i bet you saved over 500........
here is the copy:

Good Morning,

Visited Ernie and his partner yesterday and came back with new update information about the next "Two" Batches. Including pricing and configurations Ernie may be offering as the assortment in each batch.

Before we get into that, it's been decided that we would freeze the list as is (54 - 3 sold, see below) and not accept any additional names at this time (sorry egon). The reason, we all know the quality and collectability of Ernie's cues and that cue prices can fluctuate and increase with demand, cost of materials, etc. Ernie, his business partner, & I appreciate the support & encouragement AZ Billiards has given Ernie during his "comeback" so we will price protect his cues for the entire list. Whatever the final price, all 51 remaining will be offered the cues at that price without the fear of an increase. After that...? This is our way of saying thanks.

Please note that the following preliminary pricing is for the base cues noted and if additions were made to them (inlays, additional veneers, fancy rings, etc.) there would be an additional cost. The final decided price will not exceed the following (although these prices are more than fair already :eek:

Standard cue w/1 shaft (what has already been sold).......................$575
4 points, no veneer w/2 shafts............................................ ........$1000
4 (8) points, 1 recut point imbedded in each point, 2 shafts..............$1300
4 points w/2 handmade veneers w/2 shafts....................................$1400

Note: All 4 point cues, I'm told, will have fancier rings than the Standard cue. I saw no samples of a completed pointed cue but I saw the recut points for one of the cues and they came out awesome.

Here's what to expect as far as time frame: next batch will be a 9-cue assortment and is estimated to be ready in about 6 weeks. The next batch should be ready in another 6 weeks. That's 18 over the next 3 months...getting excited? Of course, these time frames are on cuemaker time so please be patient.

Just a thought. My old Meucci is everything that you want except the weight. Many Scruggs cues fill the bill.

Another idea. For next to nothing Schmelke may be able to make you what you need. You may be able to achieve the hit that you want with a judicious selection of joint and tip. One last thing. When people look at the Schmelke cue options they don't realize that everything available to a cuemaker in a blank is also available in a sneaky that they make for you. Example: ebony butt into BEM forend. You can specify most things. You cannot get an ivory ferrule, but you can get a cue without one or change it later. You cannot get many popular tips etc. You can get a premium shaft and a custom taper. Good luck...Tom
