Just seen a tony wilshaw cue on ebay. Looks good at £220 or best offer! Just been listed.

I'm on my phone so I can't get a link up but if you type 'Tony wilshaw 1 piece snooker cue' it's there on ebay

Anyone have any info or opinions on this cue as i also have my suspicions. Had a bid of £145 accepted on it so an absolute bargain but too good to be true me thinks. The seller does have 100% positive feedback from a few transactions though.

Also with guys like this now on ebay it probably wouldn't be to hard to have a badge copied

I just asked the seller for a few closer pics of the splicing and also to see what butt joint was used in the cue so i could run it by Andy. Within one minute the seller cancelled the sale lol so future buyers be warned.

Lol, need to turn my brightness up on iPhone as at zero and does look ropey...apologies:stupid::nightmare:

This cue and the poor badge fitting has been mentioned before.
Looks very poor to me, but could just be the photo...
Andy will do personalised badges as well

Contact Andy through here or on Facebook I'm sure he'll give you his best advice. The state of the badge area is a worry especially with the split in the wood, badge does not look straight either. Also look at the sellers feedback for recent transactions, looks like he sells personalised badges himself.

[TooDark]

I think you have to trust 428 transactions 100% feedback plus doesn't look suspicious if I'm honest.
Andy makes nice cues for sure but don't seem to ever hold their price for whatever reason.... £145 is a bargain.

I could be wrong but this does not look like one of andy's cues. The badge looks like its been bodged into the cue, especially with that crack just below it.

I fully expect that hunt&osborne cue to be lengthened and slapped on ebay inside a few months.

[ADR147]

This is brilliant .......£1000 for a cue with no badge that John Parris did some work on !

I never laughed so much .......the seller must be deluded !

Why is it any time one of these (or a hunt & o'byrne) gets listed its either a stupidly small tip or been hatchet-ed down to midget size?
