Then when trading your "unknown" second tier cuemaker's cue, don't get offended when the other person says.. to much for someone only known on AZ and in his immediate locale. Remember, fair market value?!?!?
So I also gather that people who have responded have no problem saying to a cuemaker, you know what, your asking price is to much how about xxxx?? I wonder if a cuemaker will chime in and tell us if this has happened or not? Personally if I am at a show, or whatever, if a cue maker gives me a price I don't agree with I just walk away, or say, good luck (in a non-condescending tone). I realize they are proud of their work and don't want to be told it isn't worth that much.
I also don't agree with new cuemakers coming out of the box asking for first tier money. Hey, not my fault you bought all that stuff, a video and a book, and saw a 4 point Tascarella go for 2k. You're a good fella, only rhymes with Tascarella, it doesn't equate the price.
I see alot of interesting conversations coming at the show in March. I can't wait. I see a lot of my dollar offers coming.
Don't be mad when you're new unknown "internet wunderkind" cue gets an offer of a hundred dollars on a trade. Also I fail to see the logic of buying an internet buzz cue and trying to trade it in. I have had multiple offers of some new cuemakers cues, used as barter material for South Wests, James Whites, and Motteys. Sorry you bought it, you get rid of it. Also do yourself a favor and do not say cuemaker xxxx says its a 1200 cue new from him, for the same reasons that have been said on here. People have a short memory when it comes to talking on the boards then trying to pawn their stuff.
JV (--maybe it's easier to sell lower end stuff??
