See, there you go.
If it's that subjective why bother?
Other than for collector's purposes of course.
When will the Southwest cue market come crashing down?

Its not subjective. SW cues play CONSISTENTLY better than RB cues IMHO.

Well I would like to know how they are able to gross 1.5 a year then. Unless the average selling price of a cue is a lot higher than I thought.
Hasn't it kinda crashed already? Unless it's a brand spanking new one or an ebony/ebony one, they only seem to be getting these higher prices anymore in the Facebook raffles.....
Synopsis: Life's a biatch then you order a SW.
Complain ALL you want, THEN you fess up AFTER you recieve your cue, that it was WAY worth the wait..
If you're one of those who are STILL complaining, you're in the VAST minority. "VAST" is the key word there...
No animosity here. Just reality.. Good rolls to you.

I played a friend's SW for a few racks. I wasn't overly blown away. Your friend, Keith, IMHO....makes a cue that hits every bit as good as a SW, if not better.
I think there are better cues to be had for less money and a shorter lead time. I think the reason SW has a long waiting list is the "mystique" of waiting for, and eventually owning, a South West.
I have little different opinion I don't think market will come down anytime soon but will come down. I've only been selling on AZ about 8 years or so when I first joined u might see 5 to 10 SW cues for sale a year and all would be sold before 1st bump. Flip to this year or actually right now there are more than 5 or 6 on the boards for sale and 4 or 5 on ebay at all times. The people that have these cues some will run into financial difficulty and sell cheap if need be others will just be done with pool and willing sell quickly cheap to get into another hobby or venture. I've seen several including a franklin era 6 point 3 veneer mint condition 2 big shafts sit on this forum for 2700 for over a month and several others 28 to 3200 that don't move as quick as they use to. However I don't see them crashing anytime soon just slightly and slowly decreasing

Funny u said that...I have been out of azb since 2012. Just looks here once in a blue moon but not regularly like before. I also noticed that there seems to be more sw for sale in the wanted section
Youre right, my "friend" Keith does make a cue that hits every bit as well BUT that has nothing to do with SW desirability, or waiting list length.... Ive already explained that.
I just picked up a terrific playing South West in a trade, and I think I'm going to play with it.
60 " 30.25 / 29.75 and I just love the way it goes through the ball.
This is the first I've really been able to practice in five years, and not a lot of cues feel as comfortable and balanced as this South West.
I've always felt that if you're playing every day all cues hit pretty good, but when you're totally out of practice nothing feels right.
