What you men by "this forum has made you regret that decision"? Which decision are you refering to?

[Dirty_Harry]

Ahh i see what you mean. I meant buying my £50 Riley, instead I wish i'd splashed out a bit more .I'm half asleep in the library, the essay i'm writing doesn't make sense either...

[Bigmeek]

As I did...

Brendan147 How could I buy a Thai cue from the UK? Is there a website and would shipping be OK?

[cueinhand]

UT through Unclevit won't disappoint you the quality in this price.

Lol the only reason anyone should buy that is if they want to give money to charity, that cue would struggle to get half that on ebay

I recommend "unique" if you're afer a good Thai cue. Very much like GBL cues fro what I've seen, made me wonder...

Makes no sense to do that, buy a thai cue direct from thailand. (ie from omin)

What's the different between new Riley & Riley Burwat ??

Riley Burwat, do you mean those Riley Burwat Gold & Platinium series ?

No no no
I mean old Riley Burwats are ok and be in that price bracket.
Old Rileys are ok, old ones not 10 years, I mean old.

Riley bought the Burwat name after Burroughes and Watts went under. Then they made Riley Burwats.
I've seen a couple of ok ones from the 1970's and Ian McCulloch plays with one too.
There not top notch but OK nice looking and in the price bracket.

Find Unclevit in TSF. He is very close to both Omin and UT. Omin have website but it is much better to go through with Unclevit. UT don't have website and I don't think you can get to him directly.

You can e-mail him here: suvitc at gmail dot com

Hope this helps.

Yup

but if I may reccomend
Go with the UT cue
Cheaper but still better
if you want a cue to keep then I suggest UT cue
can't beat what you get for the price

Me and my friend will have UT cues by next January. We gave Unclevit such a timeline so that he can ask UT to get prepared with some beautiful exotic woods as we requested and the high quality ash shaft with loads of beautiful chevrons.

Unclevit is such a nice person to deal with. No doubt about that. I am relieve to know that you are happy with your cue made by UT. What else we can say, right? As Unclevit said, UT is the guru for most of Omin's cuemakers.

Its about a lot more than that, think about the good karma etc. As far as i'm concerned it's all about that vital position in heaven, i'd go with Oxfam anyday . Being serious though; the 'commercial' charity shops are rip-off merchants, but i don't really know much about cue's so i wasn't sure if this was a bargain.

[Mr O]

They don't know much about cues I reckon. Ebay is your best bet but may take a lot of patience to get a cue you want for a bargain price. I won one of those "Unique" Thai cues last week for 67 quid and it's like new, worth at least 150. Often the best bargains are those which haven't been advertised very well. Poor pictures and descriptions will put a lot of people off, so you'll get it cheaper. Can be a bit risky but some people just don't know how to sell what is often a very good item
