Worth on my Zinzola
- Thread starter zpele
- Start date
Not getting on u to much but there is another zinzola thread just started recently. From what I hear he trying get back in business. He didn't retire he ripped off Alot of people here on AZ and elsewhere. It will probably be a very hard sale even at rock bottom value. There are few on here that are priced great and that is only reason they are not sold.
I have never bought cue from tony so I say this completely bias. But Goodluck on ur sale pics or description of cue would help a lot to determine value

No worries. I'm actually not looking to sell it as its my player and it's honestly one of if not the best hitting cue I've ever used. I'm really just curious if being the last cue made increases the value over the usual cost of the cue.
Also just for clarification- I've never dealt with Tony- I won the cue after it was finished.

Maybe that is why there are no pictures?
I don't see how your cue could be worth any more considering his name is now total trash right? Your cue is worth as much as it plays in my opinion.

Sell it in your local pool room for whatever you can get
to a computer illiterate heathen who has no clue what an
AZB is..
NO ONE who follows AZB will buy the damn thing out of
respect for the people who Zinzola screwed over here.
I'm sorry you are stuck with it.
Are you and Jesse accusing the op.of knowingly owning a cue that was paid for and never delivered to another customer ?
The plot thickens.
Not his fault if he didn't know, sounds like he got the cue legit.

I dont think the mans rep or the fact it was the last one have any significant impact on the value.
One day, his cues were good. Then the next, his rep was bad.
Some people wouldnt touch it, others would have no prob owning it....and every point in between.

Look at you, being all diplomatic and shit! :grin:
^^ This......and unfortunately for sellers, that alone lowers the value, because there will be less buyers in the market for his cues....
As to being the "last cue he made" no value bump for that, IMHO
I hate everyone the samely!
There is zero benefit or value to having the last cue someone makes unless the cue-maker is a respected, highly regarded cue-maker by his peers and the public at large.
A cue-maker's reputation has a lot to do with it and owning a Zinzola doesn't help since his cues really never did get rave reviews at any time I can recall and I followed him on Az,
However, I will concede that I admired some of his designs and the workmanship but never played with one of his cues. Regardless, I wouldn't want a cue from a disrespected man.
All of my cues came from people that were trustworthy, respected and talented cue-makers & that's the only type cue I want. However, if I already owned one, then I'd still play with it.

It was just a stray thought.
I have a lot of those since they put me in the home.
Is it time for my meds yet?
I like the white oval ones,i feel all warm and cozy from them.
His cues had a reputation of playing great. Unfortunately he has a bad rep....
But prices are based on supply/demand.
Right now there is no demand for his cues because of his rep.
In a couple years people will forget about the maker and just look at how the cue plays...and from what I hear is great.
I think the value will go up in time......my .02
Look at you being all funny and shit!!!
Count me in the camp that thinks this has no chance at happening. This is the Information Age. There will be no future date that a Zinzola cue comes up and a person can't research. His cues were already commanding a higher than normal price compared to other cuemakers of his years of service. There is no room for up, but plenty of room to go down.
Everything points to a decrease not an increase It's not like the playablity of his cues were legendary or even something to tell anyone with any experience about. Not many (if any) are going to say that his cues were comparable in hit to a Searing or Lambros or any cue really well known for playability.
And like it or not, the AZ community and influential groups and their members like Premium Cues for Sale (Joe, Sean, etc.) aren't going to be pushing Zinzola cues anywhere but down.
Passing the cue off to an unwitting victim at a local pool hall is probably the most likely route for people wanting to unload. That doesn't count as "value going up" in my book.
