Nothing you buy will retain its original price/value.........the cue will either go up or down in value and
in all likelihood, it would depreciate some but let's face it. It's a coin flip nowadays and the market is
horrible and has been for the past 4 years and likely will never return to the golden era of pool cues.
So take full advantage of someone's decision to sell their cue and then work the best deal for buying
it but always resist paying the asking price by any seller.......all of us ask for more than we think the cue
will fetch & so there's wiggle room. Anyone thinking otherwise is naive and a sucker customer in waiting.
Very few cues are a good investment. Probably 97% of them will lose value. Buy the cue because you like it and want to play with it. Get the best deal that you can. I think the number one cue for investment would be a Gina cue. That is my opinion.
