Well spotted, I own that cue. I bought it from a US Collector.
Might have a bid to see if I can win a unique cue....that I already own, lol!

I can't tell if there is sarcasm in your post so I will explain. I bought this cue from Cornerstone Custom Cues Last year for $2900. The chap that runs the site is Mr Bill Grassley, a well respected collector that knows me very well. Yes I am saying he doesn't own the cue. The reason he doesn't is because I do. Its unique. I even know the person who took those photos, ha, ha  Sanjay was interested in it. He has had this cue in his hands. Quite clearly a hacked account that hasn't been shut down. I will buy it and see what happens. Si

There we go, I have bought it.
Tell you what, if he does have a cue that looks exactly like this....and I get it.....I WILL GIVE IT TO THE FIRST PERSON THAT ASKS FOR IT....THATS RIGHT.....$3500 MOTTEY for FREE.
So you see, I am pretty confident, he, he.

I still have them somewhere but I can't post them because of profanity violations. Also, he was selling the same Cognoscenti. I know where that is too and it aint in the UK either!! Scammers!!!!!

Well done Jazzy, that was the cue. Tommy D said it looked awful just as Raj said it was a beauty. Ahhh, what does Tommy know....he plays with a Meucci, he, he!!

I just bought myself a McDermott Sedona (M1-6A)...what a beauty. And a Moori installed on it as well.
Should have it in my hands very soon.
Si, I'll let you see it next weekend in Stirling.

I got a really good deal on mine. The seller was offering a package including this gorgeous cue, plus a lucassi jump cue, 2 x 2 case and some other pool goodies all for 559 bucks. When I asked him about shipping to the UK, he said he actually made a mistake about the initial price as it should have been $689, but as I had noticed early, he offered it to me for the original price!

All I can say on this subject! Don't buy a cue unless it is through Mr D'Vali. Ok, I never got my Schon from him, but I never knew him back then. (he was still at school when I got that) Hehe! -----------------

Cheers John, I appreciate it. Got my first email last night asking for payment for the two Paul Mottey cues. I replied asking for the UK number so I could discuss delivery arrangements. Just waiting on a call now, he, he, he, he, he!! '........so you have two identical Paul Motteys, eh? REALLY? Wow! Well considering Paul only made one and the one in your picture is IN MY CUE CASE I beg to differ!!!!'
