Michael, could I suggest you put the pictures WITH the descriptions and pricing for each cue? I feel like I'm lost in the desert trying to follow one of these threads. Or you could just link the description and price to the proper pics.
You listed some cues in the $500 thread and referred to 9 pages of a thread where the guy might be able to find the pictures - or maybe not.
Trying only to be helpful ... hope it is interpreted that way.
