This is Hilarious! (on Ebay)

Typical Ebayer, doin' their thing:

It's a "one-of-a-kind, custom-designed, Italian-made MEUCC" lmfao

Made by MEUCC - you know, the Italian Master Cue Maker!

I think I cracked a rib laughing at this one. I won a HOF-4 off a guy but I think we ended up using it for firewood, or something.

i think its real.i saw that the other day and was thinking that it was real.Why the high starting bid?

Meucci Original with 3 shafts....That's not that bad of a price. I'd certainly pass on it though.

I had a laugh when i saw this too, but i imagine that the cue will end up going for quite a bit of money.
Dont forget,its "a genuine one-of-a-kind design speced by the original owner" and "The cue comes with three extensions that are screwd to the base" LMAO

HELLLLOOOOO?!? It's a Meucci! In that sense, yes it's a "real' Meucci. But it ain't Italian, or rare. There is a demand for a Meucci Gambler, especially with 3 shafts. But the description is an outrageous lie.

They took the old "write good ad copy" thing a weeee bit too far on this one!

Still laughing....

Too bad it a Meucci

Out of all the cues I have bought and sold the only one I really wish I hadnt sold was a Meucci Gambler.

Becaue the ends might be ivory, of course!

What a coincidence! Out of all the cues I've bought and sold, the one I wish I hadn't bought was a Meucci.

LOL I can understand that

When I started playing pool Meucci was the dominate cue in our area, so it was the first decent cue I played with. I think they make an ok cue (much better back then than what they are making today) but I found that the better my game got the less I liked the Meucci. Still wish I had kept the gambler for sentimental reasons but I sold it along with everything else when I quit playing.

Talk about oversell - maybe I can get him to market my cues!! LMAO
