What Does Something Like That Cost From Him? What Is The Wait Time If You Order A Cue From Him? Does He Have A Website?

Thanks Marcus for putting this question as delicately as possible. At 9450 someone will be getting a hell of a deal on a beautiful cnc looking cue.FAST_N_LOOSE said:BILL,
PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY, BUT HOW DOES AN UNKNOWN MAKER BRING THIS KIND OF MANY. I ALSO SAW THE CUES IN VALLEY FORGE, AND WAS IMPRESSED WITH THEM,BUT I ALSO FELT HE WAS A BIT PRICEY FOR HOW UNKNOW HE WAS. TO BE HONEST I'D TAKE THE GINA THAT STEVE (JIFFY LUBE) BOUGHT FROM YOU AT VF. JUST MY OPINION. WHAT'S YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT IT?
YES THE PICS LOOK BETTER. ARE YOU USING INDIRECT LIGHTING? IF NOT, TRY IT THEY'LL LOOK EVEN BETTER.
HOPE ALL IS WELL.

I buy from the cues makers and they set there prices. but he is very well known inn germany and has been making cues for 12 years and commanding those prices over ther, he just wanted to come to the american market this year! he was also invited to the cue makershow this year and will be attending! the work is sharp and detailed! the cue is beautiful!so i said i would help launch him in the U.S.A.FAST_N_LOOSE said:I WAS CURIOUS. I KNOW FOR THIS KIND OF CASH, I CAN GET A NICE CUE FROM A WELL KNOWN MAKER. I JUST WAS INTERESTED IN HEARING WHERE THE PRICING STRUCTURE GOT IT'S JUSTIFICATION. I KNOW IT'S A NICE CUE, BUT I'D FEEL SAFER PUTTING MY BANK ROLL WITH A MAKER THAT HAS A REP BEHIND HIM, OR AT LEAST SOME KIND OF TRACK RECORD.
Charlie,the inlays are razor sharp ,what is cnc looking, and 95% of cues made today have cnc used on them .the rest are pantagraph,wich is a man powered cnc, it is all what you do after the router stops spinning that makes the differance! his work is crisp and he is the best in his country at what he does! it is kinda like you guys saying I wouldnt bet on mika when he first came to america to play and now he is in the money all the timecuedoctor said:Thanks Marcus for putting this question as delicately as possible.

His cue look similiar to josey,Cog,and a few others and I think he has put one too many digits on his prices. He can set his prices as high as he like but IMO there is NO justifacation for him to command prices higher than 95% of the top 5 cuemakers here is the USA. Now if his name was ART Cantando I can maybe see that price!!

than you for helping explain!!Onemoreyouth said:i think what cornerstone is saying is that those prices ARE justified in Germany, as he has been a well known maker there for 12 years... however he has JUST decided to try and sell the the american market... thus nobody in america has heard of him yet.
if there is anybody on this board from Germany they would be able to help stabalize his rep as a german cue maker.
hope that makes sense....
thats a gorgeous cue cornerstone.
