Meucci Maximum MAX-3 Pool Cue eBay 2011
A Meucci Maximum MAX-3 Pool Cue that was for sale in July of 2011 on eBay. I bought this Meucci Maximum 3 pool cue new in 1997 and it is used, but it is in great shape and everything is straight. I have found very little info on this cue so I called Meucci and they said it was a limted run of only 250 cue sticks. They said retail was about 200 but should be worth double or more. The shaft does show use and might need a new ferrule. I asked the local pool hall how much to get new one they said 10 bucks installed. It is a great stick which I don't want to sell, but it no longer gets use out of me. It comes with a leather case.
