Searing and Scruggs lovers

Nice

I see it is getting close to what you need. It will probably get there soon.If I hadn't lucked out on my last purchase I would have already bought it. Thanks for the sweet price I am sorry I can'n get it at this time. It is easily worth what you quoted me. And I do want to thank you for giving me a sweet offer! You are a very fair seller and I wish you good luck and wanted you to know the price you offered it to me was sweet. THANKS AGAIN AND MUCH APPRECIATED! I hope we may do something in the future and look foreward to it.Nick
 
Seems to me maybe Dennis isnt making enough cues of his own, and "redoing" everyone elses cues and then they hit the fleabay for rediculous pricing ?????????????:eek:
 
They fetch what they fetch.

Any given custom cue may or may not be what you think it is worth. Searings are very hard to come by these days. "Fleabay" as you might call it is an "open market" and as economists might call it, it is the best place to get a "real market value". 3 points:

1. Tim Scruggs is retiring
2. This is a classic design
3. The current "hottest" cuemaker going worked on this cue (I might say reworked)


It will bring what it brings and another person will be able to try out a "searing hit". If everyone hords all of the cues of one cuemaker no one else will have a chance to try them (Marcus you are exempt because you have sickness, just joking). By the way Marcus I am catching up because I have 3 now. I like to give people a chance to try other cues. For this cue I felt Ebay was the best place.
 
For what its worth

As a collector and fan of Tim Scruggs and Mike Cochran I have to throw my thoughts in here:A cue made by these two as a team or individually doesnt need to be "reworked" by anyone to enhance its value.Their quality as cuemakers and character as men speak for themselves.Mike Sellers
 
Sure.......I guess....

But....I would say that with the amount of work it is "Reworked" as in "my opinion" if some redoes the grip, joint joint pin and shaft it is "Reworked". Please explain to me what you definition of "Reworked" is.
 
why did it need to be reworked?

I think he is saying that a Scruggs cue in good condition does not need to be reworked. They stand on their own. The question outstanding is what prompted someone to make these expensive changes on a perfectly good cue.

How can you consider a T. Scruggs cue that Mr. Searing worked on "the hit of a Searing"???????????????? The cue is just that a T.S. cue that Mr. S. has "worked on"...........................................
And yes i understand that Searings are sought after but to use him to get more for a cue i think is obserd..... Also e-bay is fleabay havent you seen all the complaints and bad dealings on there or are you blind to that????:rolleyes:

This is some of my point exactly, it just seems all of a sudden these T.S.cues have appeared with "rework " done to them by Mr. Searing.....
Mr. N. Serdula commenting on this is one of them that was selling some a while back.........I am not trying to hijack this thread so thats all i will say and good luck with the sale ................................... John :)
 
Ok Ill bite

Is a balabushka a balabushka just because he put a joint and pin on a Spain or Szamboti forearm? Isn't this the same concept? I guess all of those hoppe conversions are worthless as well huh.
 
"same concept"?

No,Its not the same concept at all.Those Spain/Szamboti forearms were made FOR Balabushka to use in HIS cues.The Titleist conversions are done on cues NO LONGER MADE that were all made somewhat generically by a company.What you are talking about here is one living cuemaker taking another living cuemakers cue and "reworking" it.Mike Sellers
 
Concept

I was referring to his comment on the hit of the cue. Whether or not the cuemaker is alive or dead it is still the same concept in that respect.
 
A key component to the unique playability of a cue is the joint work and shaft work. The tolerances and attention to detail with Searing cues in this regard (and others as well) in my opinion are about as good as it gets.

This particular cue seems to be offering that sweet Searing hit in a cue that is available without having to refinance a house.

When you get down to it, this is a pretty cool cue for the mere fact that it has been worked on by two legendary cue makers.

I don't see how you could go wrong with it.
