I have an Omega butt purchased off of AZ billiards. The butt is Brazilian Tulipwood into Curly Maple. The butt was sent to Mike Bender to have shafts, warp and finish. I received the completed cue back from Mike on the 6th of June. I have roughly $2000.00 into this cue and I have developed a medical issue that forces the sale of some assets. I hadnt played this cue but it hadnt moved so I have now played 18 racks of 9 ball with one shaft. The cue has Sumo med tips on it and the one shaft I did play has a nice hit, feel and feed back. I am impressed with the hit feel and feed back from the cue. My pictures do not do it justice. I will entertain reasonable offers for this cue. I know in this market I will take a hit on this cue. Make an offer and lets see what happens.

Specs:
Butt Diameter-1.27 in just before the flare
Joint Diameter-.87 in
Tip Diameter- 13.04 mm
Butt weight- 15.4 oz
Shafts weight- 3.6 oz
Pin Tread 3/8 x 14, Chromed Brass
Butt made in 1994, cost $1100.00
Shafts,wrap and finsih, Mike Bender 6-6-2011, cost $940.00
Brazialian Tulip wood Butt and points into Curly maple
Sumo Med Tips
Ivory ferrels

Are you open to trades? If so for what. I have things other then billiards equipment as well. Let me know what you are interested in.
 
Omega/Bender- $1300.00

My backs against the wall with some medical issues I'll let this go for $1300.00 and you won't be sorry.
 
I have been asked if the points are lined up on this butt, they are not, they are good straight points but they are not lined up perfectly. I have researched pictures of other Omega's and talked to various people about this and it is from what i have been informed common with Omega's. If this is a sticking point with you this is NOT the CUE for you.
 
Omega/Bender $1200.00

OK I am at the point where I need to give this away, I'll take $1200.00 via paypal plus the paypal fee and shipping.
 
Spotting Scope & Binoculars

OK since this isnt burning up the air waves I have a couple of other items that I would unload.

I have a Swarovski Optik CTS-85 spotting scope with a 20 x 60 eye piece, this is a $2000.00 optic asking $1200.00

Also I have a Zeiss 8x32 Victory T* FL binoculars $1850.00 new asking $1200.00

If you know about optics and are a sportsman you know these are quality.

OK the Omega/Bender , the Zeiss 8 x 32 Victory or the Spotting scope Ill take $1200.00 for each one.
 
It is a tough market. I had a couple offers of $1200.00 that i turned down and now everyone has gone poof. If it wasnt for an unforeseen stay or two in the hospital this cue wouldnt be for sale. I know everyone states that a cue plays but this one does and I have owned a Searing, Gus,Barry and some others. I have played 18 games of nine ball with one shaft in a small local 9 ball toury and took 3rd. I have also played 5 games of 8 ball with the shaft since and on the first game my opponent broke and I ran out on him, i also won the remaing 4 games. I may have become a fan of Sumo med tips.

I have Joel Hercek building a cue that should be completed in 4-6 months and John Bender is completing one that should be done in 2 weeks. I am also on Southwest list for 2012. I need to sell this so i can straighten out this medical issue.

I have attached some photos of the cue John Bender is building me, cored Bastogne Walnut with waterfall bubinga points and butt, water buffalo joint, kangeroo leather wrap, and sunken maple shafts.
