Someone Loan Me $50,000 Right Away...Tom Cruise's Actual Cue For Sale on the Bay!

I sent him a message. I explained to him that this cue was never even remotely related to The Color of Money. It's probably never even been in the same room as a DVD of TCOM. Aw, hell, here's the message I sent to him today:
"Is this some kind of joke? The actual cue Paul Newman's character gives Tom Cruise's character is a Joss JN07 model custom made to look like a George Balabushka Custom cue. It has four ebony points spliced into a maple forearm, a linen wrap, and mother of pearl inlays. Not once in the movie does Tom Cruise have a cue with transfer pictures of crabs and crustaceans on it. You may want to consider revising this auction before I report it for fraud."
He responded to me with this ...
"It was a mistake. It was bought at auction and Newman did put it up, but I see now it's not fr the movie. Ice pulled the listing"
Oh good, I'm glad "Ice" pulled the listing.
That post wasn't directed to you but to the person that seemed to think we are all morally corrupt.
Checks in the mail. Don't just turn around and resell it. Let it accumulate more value over time.:wink:
It's a little know fact that the topical fish inlays and/or the stickers in the forearms of George's cues were a trade mark from and actually built/glued by Gus Szamboti. That fact alone prompted me to bid above asking price.
i'm pretty sure no one would just ante up 50k without trying to at least do a little homework. and if they did shame on them for being so foolish with that much money. for a short time i sold private equity investments and i know from experience that getting ten grand out of people worth a mil plus is almost impossible if they don't know you. no matter what kind of research you can give them. so i'm going to say that most people with 50k in thier pocket aren't buying a cue on ebay sight unseen if they don't know sqaut about pool cues and can't meet the seller face to face and examine the property before making final payment. once again shame on them if they do and, if they do, we most certainly get to laugh at them.
you're being sarcastic, yes? i am pretty sure you have to be. no one thinks that p.o.s is worth 50k it's just something to laugh at.
