Wayne Holmes cue FS/FT - new direction!!

[8-ball Rat]

Morning, all!

Please reference this previous thread:

After speaking with several of you about possible swaps or purchases...and a few hours of sleep to mull it all over, I've come to the realization that:

1: There is a good group of people on this forum. Very nice, and very interested in doing things on the square....most are on the up and up....which makes this even MORE fun than usual.

2: I now have a better way to explain what it is I'm in the market for. While I do appreciate all the offers for trade, I'm not interested in low end production cues in really rough shape, or cues with a name ending in "eucci" !!

For what the Wayne cue will bring on the secondary market, I fully expect to put some cash toward a trade for a cue that I REALLY want. That said, what I'd really like to try and find would be:

A Scruggs hustler cue that is actually straight AND playable
B. A lower end of the food chain Schon cue
C. An entry level players cue by Andy Gilbert (not the jump/break)
D. Something close to those above.

I'm very willing to put a fair amount of paypal into the deal, to make things even.

Thanks again for all the interest, and some great conversation about cues in general!

Here are the pics again...just so you don't have to hunt them down.

Take care, ya'll.

Be advised...I'm not against an even trade for a Tascarella, (Mr. Fast N Loose...are you listening??)!!!

You will fit right in here, especially with a sense of humor like that

Just wait 'til I break out with the dirty knock-knock jokes!!

BTW - even trades for a Gus, Searing, Showman also considered!

Fast N Loose,

Thought that might get your attention! Glad to bring some giggles your way!

Ya know, it wasn't too long ago that there were a few people with TS and Gilbert lower end cues, looking to trade. Seems as though the world swallowed 'em up!...or they made good at Derby City with 'em.

Pass the word on the Wayne, if you would, guys. It's really hard to try and allow the pics to do the cue any justice. Really gorgeous work, and awesome hit and feel from this VERY underrated cuemaker.

Warmest wishes to all who hang out here.

All,

Again, prefer a trade...but willing to sell outright as well.

I was fortunate enough to find a TS sneaky from a fellow AZ'er....so next on my wish list are:

1. Nice looking/hitting DZ cue
2. Low end Schon (STL1 -ish)
3. Entry level Gilbert cue
4. Nice looking/hitting Jacoby
5. Jeff Olney player's cue
6. Petree player's cue
7. Runde Sneaky Pete
8. Sherbine Hustler

....oh, who are we kidding....I'll yap with anyone who's got a cue to trade.....Now that I have the Scruggs, I'm just havin' fun!!

Thanks ya'll,

Mark (the obviously addicted Rat)

BRING ON THE TRADING GODS!!!!!!!!
Be good, ya'll. Shoot straight.
