CUE IS TRADED - THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INTEREST.

Beautiful cue in great, played condition, with only minor wear. 4 Rosewood points with ivory Hoppe ring, 4 veneers (maple, brown, salmon, purple) made from real wood - Skip doesn't dye his veneers - green/white linen wrap. Beautiful highly-figured maple forearm. Signed and dated "Skip Weston 03".

2 shafts of non-ivory material - very smooth with no dents. One is 13mm, 3.9 oz, unknown tip, some ferrule discoloration. The other is 12.6mm, 4.0 oz, Talisman medium. Both hit fantastic but I actually prefer the thinner one.

This is one of Skip's good ones - hits fantastic. The joint is 3/8x10 flat-faced wood-to-wood, black phenolic collar with red dash ringwork. 15.2 oz butt

Complete set of smooth ebony joint protectors included.

Nice cue! That would make a great player for someone who wanted a custom and at that price they wouldn't have to spend a ton of cash. Good luck with the sale.............

Very Nice Cue

That cue looks kinda familiar Scott. A very nice playing cue as I recall. Good luck with the sale! ;)
 
Available again

Ok, as happens way too often on AZ, the sale(s) did not go through to completion. If you are interested in the cue - at the price listed above - PM me please. If you want it for less, please DO NOT PM me :) - it will go to ebay in a day or two.

Thanks!
 
Edited to remove my venting over AZ deals :)

Cue is no longer available - traded for another one.

So far I have had 3 deals fall through on this cue - two sales and a trade, which is why if the current trade falls through, the cue is either off to ebay or off the market.
 
For inquiring minds, here's the butt, sans bumper:

Scott - had you accepted my offer, you would have avoided all this frustration. It's your call now as to whether or not it was worth $40. Regardless, thanks for showing me the cue. :)

Regards, Dave.

Dave, you PM'd telling me you were offering my FULL price - which was $800. Then you had me show up and you lowballed me thinking it wouldn't be worth my trouble to reject you reduced offer.

I wouldn't have taken $799.99 from you at that point.

This cue was in my collection before I sent it off to Scott a few weeks ago.
If your looking for a solid player, this is it. One of the three finest playing cues I have come across. Good luck on the sale Scott, buyer will be very happy with this one. David

Scott... here's a copy and paste of my PM to you.

Pls point out to me exactly where I offered your full price.

Let me know. Thanks, Dave.

Thanks David. The trade is done and I'm shipping the cue in the morning. As you promised me, it is a solid player. This was the last in a series of 'experiments' I was going through, trying cues by different makers - I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, especially the thinner of the two shafts.

It is a stiffer/harder hit than a Mottey or Scruggs, but softer than the 3/8x11 pin cues I normally hit with - Zylr,Tucker,SouthWest. I highly recommend at least trying a Skip Weston with the 3/8x10 pin - also, his points and veneer work are impeccable. If I ever design my own cue again, and Skip will make a 3/8x11, I might very well get him to do the work.

this sure sounds like you were willing to buy it at the asking price...

Your "break" is that you can go off and buy a cue that you like better, for a lower price. I do have a life, which is why I don't have to deal people like you.

It's a great way to be.
 
...and....the cue is now traded, so this thread is dead and I will end my subscription to avoid additional wasted dialog.
