I want some of what this guys smoking. He had a stirling cue up for 2k as well, he's also the same headcase that has that old cue with parris splicing thats been listed for well over a year.

He has a load of cues listed, all hilariously overpriced.

I have sold two in the last month at ?500 each.

Seller did know, because I had messaged him about it and reported it on ebay. He wasn't the nicest chap and sold it anyway. Ebay being ebay didn't do anything to stop it either. Well I guess whoever bought it will be sending it back and reporting as soon as they see it in the flesh.

Seems to be gone from ebay now.

I think Crispian needs a new bulb in his workshop

That is not a parris cue and the veneer is not a wood he ever used. Pretty sure the seller knows this fine.

Yeah that badge looks very different, bad job faking it, wished people didn't do that.
The guy that may bid on this won't be happy

Since you guys are experts, how does this shaft look according to you?

Alright i suppose, nothing to write home about. About average for consumer ultimates.

There are some right chancers out there , terrible veneer used and as Andrew said .... John Paris would not use this type and if he did it would only be recent . As this veneer would not have been used when non numbered ultimates were being produced.
Ferrule also looks a bit too long for a Parris .

Yup, looks to be a thai cue with a badge battered into place.

General area around the badge isn't at all suspect. That being said, in terms of the cue itself it's shaft is probably better than most "consumer grade" ultimates as of late.

Good god, that poor cue, looks like it may have been a Eureka at one point, then it was handed to Mr Magoo to lengthen.

That actually upsets me.

Rest shaft maybe

Just noticed the person selling this ordered it during 2013, 6 years and that's what turns up.

Yes, I would not be happy!
