  • Typical eBay fun.. full of scammers and tyre kickers.

    I’ve had someone practically begging me to sell them a cue for 30% less than it’s listed for. Messages every other day... now on the banned list. If £25 is so important to them I have decided they shouldn’t be spending any money on cues.

      Before buying this please note:
      Originally my cue. Was originally a 58 inch plain ebony cue. It was taken down to 55 inches. I sold it to this guy for £300 and he's had it lengthened 2 inches and is trying to pass it off as an original. It certainly is not.

      The finish at the base is not even finished like an Osborne cue.

        £600 + delivery on FB = Superb condition. No mention of any work done. Looking at profile the guy is a dealer no surprise.

          Yes, he bought off me to make a profit by doing this. He also has an exquisite cue which will be similar so eyes peeled.

                      Had the badge removed. How to tell if the cue is genuine when the most important identity mark is removed?

                        Easy...don't touch this auction unless he provides the receipt and evidence it belongs to this cue.

                        Too many people want to believe the stories in the description so that they feel like they're getting a bargain...just not worth the risk...trust me
