Offered for sale here is a BIG Mike Bender cue.

Butt:

5 points of darkest ebony into nicely figured BEM.
4 veneers - white - purple - gold - black from in to out.
5 ivory boxes in the butt end, all veneered with the same config as the points.
A razor sharp ivory inlay in each point.
The ring work is stunning, they are ivory surrounded by silver with the same veneers as the points at regular intervals. These even match up with the shafts screwed in!! This ring work is at ABCDE.
Ivory Butt Cap
Ivory Joint 3/8 x 11 (I think)
Elephant wrap - I cannot find the seam!!

I will have to weigh the butt, but I believe it is very close to 15oz.

Shafts:

2 matching shafts with the same veneer work.
Old growth maple
Ivory ferrule
Both with pretty new Moori Medium tips
One shaft is 12.83mm and is in excellent condition
The other is 13mm and is unplayed.

Finally got round to weighing....

Butt is 15.2oz
Shaft 1 is 3.84oz
Shaft 2 is 3.98oz

Pictures can be seen here (I am going to take better ones in the coming days)

OK... relisted. The trade was cancelled.

Not for sale just now

The finish on this cue is as good as it gets. The inlays and ring work is right up there with my Mobley!!

Hey Grant! That is one insane cue! Mike's work is phenomenal, a true craftman :bow-down:
I belive that this is Mikes standard pin 3x8/14. GLWYS!

Thanks Miro, the pics do not do it justice, they look a bit cold for some reason.

Thanks for the info on the pin, I knew it was not a 3/8 x 10, but was still wrong with my guesstimate ;)
 
Here ya go grant, GL with the sale man!!!

Will take trades up to $2000 on this one.

Who wants a monster bender in near mint condition??
 
I have to say, you are one of my favorite sellers on this forum, because the cues you list are ALWAYS awesome. And this is no exception. That is a very nice Bender, and I would bet my last dollar it plays like it looks. Awesome cue my friend. Good luck!

Thanks Braden, I try my best ;-)

This plays very similar to my '94 Southwest. It gives the cue ball a very re-assuring thud :D
 
Thanks for the bump Djay old buddy :)

Just to let you all know, I will consider trades against this cue, but would want a good chunk of cash involved...
 
Considering a trade offer, but would still prefer it to sell outright, so back to the top with you...
 
Price reduction bump....

Will do traded for cash

If you want to do a trade though, the price point at $3750 is pretty firm...

This cue is even nicer than it looks in the pictures!!!

I thought people would be all over this one, well under retail and no 8 month wait!!
