A small shop in Gresham, Oregon, that you can almost miss when you are
looking for it.

However, he is NOT BS'ing about his LARGE inventory. He carries everything
from the cheapest to the high-end collector's cues. If you live around
there, you can walk in and try 'em out! Competitive prices, too.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

But think twice about this. If you are looking for a playing cue and not a
collector's cue, don't go looking for a Viking, Meucci, Schon, Huebler, etc.
Although each of these are very good cues, you would do much better to spend
that money on a custom cue made by the best custom cuemaker in your area.
You will get a far better cue (in most cases) for the same money you would
pay for any of the good production cues.

Can't help but wonder, are you associated with billiardsnbagels. If
you are I'll have a Sesame lightly toasted with butter, thank you.

I do know one thing, the site sucks. You can't get by the introductory
screen no matter where you clicks. I hate those sites that require you
to click somewhere to get in.

Are you sorry to the ones who could log in and wanted to see the prices?

Billiards and Bagels has been in business forever.

Great company!

Hello,

We are one of the premier pro shops in the USA, and our prices are
some of the lowest around for what we sell. 30%+ of our inventory is
made custom with adjusted attributes just for our shop even in
production cues like Muecci or McDermott. Our customers spend over 3
hrs stroking with up to 60+ brands of cues before they purchase. Why
would you perchase a cue you did not stroke with???? Would you ever
purchase a car you did not drive?, or a gun you did not hold?, or a
house you did not walk through?

Any good cue maker will tell you that no two cues hit the same! As
good as they are and as hard as they try they are not the same.
McDermott's will hit like a McDermott compared to a Joss, but an Ebony
McDermott will not hit like a Maple McDermott, becouse an attribute of
the cue have been changed.

We believe that choice and selection is one of the most important
services we can offer for our customers. There is no way you can know
whats right for you without trying as much selection as possable. (see
cues 101 on our site http://www.billiardsnbagels.com/cue101.html).

Most of our customers understand the value of Customer service and the
Value of a shop that has been in business in the same location for
over 25 years. We are not some fly by night internet sales outfit run
out of our home or apartment, who wants to sell you Chinese junk at a
300% markup. For those of you who purchase on price ONLY, leave us an
e-mail address here and when I have a chance, I will send you a list
of some of the places our customers purchased from on the Internet
before they found us. For those of you who really want a quality
product at a fair price, look at our website and if there is something
you are really interested in call our 800 #. If there is something
that you are interested in and its not on our web site, give us a call
any way, I can't update the site every time I get cues in. If you are
really interested in making an improvement in your game you can even
make arrangements for us to fly you out here to make your purchase.

PS. We carry most of the production cues like McDermott, Meucci, Joss,
Duffrin, Schmelke, Cyclone, Eliminator, Legacy, Mali, Viking, I just
don't have the time or the space to list all there lines on our site.

Maybe because you liked the way it looked? I also wouldn't go test drive a car
without a price on it, why test drive a Ferrari when you are looking to spend
10K. Thanks for the 5 paragraph add that had nothing to do with why you have no
prices on your site. Your babble might work fine on some idiot who has no idea
what he wants in a cue or what he's looking at, but to me it just proves what
an ass and total salesman you are. There isn't 1 special cue on that site that
needs to have a price request on it, at least the guys at classiccues.com put
prices so you at least know where you stand if you want to make an offer. I'd
rather go to a site that has high prices then a site with no prices and if you
want to move a few more cues you might want to think about adding them, you may
be losing more business then you think. Or you can continue to talk down to
people who you have no idea who they are or what they know and try to make them
believe your cue 101 bullshit.
