CHALKERS.COM

Welcome to CHALKERS.COM, your source for fine pool cues from current and past master cue makers. Since 1990, we have been providing knowledgeable and helpful service to cue collectors (both established and aspiring) searching for special and rare cues, as well as to pool players looking for a well-priced cue with a great hit.

Most of the cues you will find on CHALKERS.COM are either new or in “like new” condition. We have set the standard for complete cue descriptions, and clear, detailed high-resolution photos.

In addition to pool cues, CHALKERS.COM features billiard art and memorabilia, our own line of billiard-themed post cards and note cards, pool tables and other billiard-related fixtures and furnishings, and high-quality museum art reproductions. Cue valuation and authentication, as well as cue consignment and photography services are available.

The principals of CHALKERS.COM are Martyne S. Bachmen and Hugh Tiernan, who have been business partners for over 15 years. You will find Martyne's and Hugh's bios on the About Us page.

CHALKERS.COM has been honored as a recipient of a 2004 “Sparky Award” as one of the billiard industry's “most outstanding sites”. This recognition by BILLIARDS DIGEST is for “excellence in Web innovation, page design, and ease of navigation”. The article is in the July, 2004 issue and you can read excerpts from it here: WEB GEMS: RATING THE BEST OF THE WEB.

Martyne has been a feature writer for BILLIARDS DIGEST for many years. Most recently her articles have focused on the world of cues, including cue maker profiles and the collector shows. The photos illustrating her stories were taken by her partner, Hugh Tiernan, who was the principal photographer for the upcoming BLUE BOOK OF POOL CUES, 3rd Edition. Martyne did the photo layouts and descriptions, as well as contributing revisions and new material to the 3rd edition. You can preview some of their cue photos in Martyne's Cue Articles and in the monthly “Wand Workshop” to which she contributes. Many of the custom cues for sale on CHALKERS.COM will be featured in the new Blue Book.

CHALKERS.COM ships worldwide, with complimentary shipping for all cues within the continental U.S. Methods of payment accepted are cashier's check or money order (U.S. funds) or bank wire transfer. For U.S. orders only we will also accept Visa, Master Card and American Express upon receipt of a faxed Credit Card Authorization Form (download the form directly from the BUY / Contact Us page).

If you don't see the cue you're looking for here, please e-mail or call us - there is a very good chance we can find it for you. Cash is king, but we do consider trades or part cash/part trade offers, especially for vintage cues.

Discounts are available for the purchase of two or more cues.
