FYI,

This cue is warped in a couple of spots due do water damage. I purchased it, took it to a cue maker who put it on the lathe and verified the warp at two joints. I had to file a complaint with ebay and force the seller to take it back. The seller is a scammer and now created a new ebay ID since the negative feedback was left regarding this cue on his original ID.

DO NOT BUY THIS CUE

At least the seller is saying that the cue has a "wobble"...how bad was the actual warp/"wobble"?

Thanks for the heads up. What was his user id the first time? As he may be selling other cues under that name.
 
The George case is probably worth $100-$150...if the Meucci is a Meucci and straight---is worth $150, so cue with 2 shafts and a little warp would be $300.

Just my two cents which isn't worth crap. I've used cues with warped butts which will not make you miss shots.:)
 
The original listing has been removed, the original auction was back in June.
Here is the ID and feedback I left:

This buyer desn't know about custom pool cue.

ERNIE MARTINEZ DOUBLE SHAFTS AND MEUCCI POOL CUES WITH GEORGE CASE MADE IN USA (#180890206522)

The case that the cues came in (that Its george) smelled very moldy inside, even had what looked like mold spots on the outside of the case. A very well known cuemaker confirmed that the cue was beyond repair and warped at two joints (IIRC the A and C). The seller does not speak english well but was very clear he had no desire to stand behind his cue. He was rude and basiclaly told me where I can stick this cue. I went through ebay and recieved a full refund. FUNNY THOUGH, when I sent him back the cue he tried to still fight the claim saying that I cracked the cue and damaged it before sending it back. If that were true he seemed to have lefdt that part out of the new listing (it was not cracked thought). Anyhow, I am over it. Just don't want someone on AZ to end up with this cue.
