There's a cue in there a Balabushka. In real life those cues sell for 10k to upwards of 30k. My Grandfather had a pool table when I was a young boy. When he died we inherited all his old pool signs, cues and memorabilia.
I took a marker and a piece of sandpaper one afternoon. Stripped the cue down, not knowing anything about it or its value, and painted it up with a marker. Played with that cue for a good 5 years until I wore it out. Ended up breaking it on a scratch.
3 years ago it ended up in the trash unsalvageable by the finest cue restorer I could find. Nothing can bring it back. Nothing today can educate me on what I should have known years ago.
Now I know last year the trade figure we gave you was amazing but I can't bring it back. I can only tell you that today, right here right now, we have a good deal. Maybe not as good as last year but a good deal nonetheless. Lets not let past regrets cloud today's judgment. Here's my pen...there's the bottom line...no more missed opportunities.
