I just took in trade a very nice 2001 Varney j/b cue. Its an Alves into maple 4pt fullsplice. 58" with a 13.25mm shaft and the cue weighs right at 19oz. The shaft does have the slightest roll to it but hardly a concern on a j/b cue. It has 3/8-10 joints, black phenolic collars & the blk 1pc canvas-resin tip/ferrule combo which is covered by my lifetime warranty. I just cleaned the cue up a bit and it looks close to new...no dings or dents period. I will have pics a bit later if the cue last that long. I will take the first $275 obo. Thanks.
