Unfortunate accident not your fault. If he's a friend and you feel bad you can chip in some. If he doesn't like that then you can chip in none and he can learn to keep his equipment out from under foot in the future. Asking for $600 is the first clue you're being put together.

A genuine Predator CF shaft split in 2 from a fall of table height at most? I know people like to give Predator stick for their prices but the only times I've seen one of their sticks shatter is from extreme force. In order:
1) apologize
2) laugh at the $600 remark
3) tell him to get a refund on his eBay knockoff.
I'd throw in some red loctite/JB weld for the laugh alone.

A new revo shaft is 500 his was used so it's worth 250 I would offer him 125.00 for my part of the accident. If he has any sense he will know that is fair, if he doesn't, nothing you do will be right.
Only an idiot stores his cues like that in the case. I see it all the time and I every single time I wait for the case to fall over so it can smack the shaft and break it.
I'd tell him to pound sand.

Sounds like fancy pants needs to use a cheaper cue until he learns to take care of it

Would homeowners liability insurance apply? Doesn't make sense to me that it would, but neither did my brother's kid throwing rocks at another brother's 1969 Roadrunner (before restoration) and breaking the windshield. Insurance company paid for new glass.
If you have you cue collection as a “scheduled”valuable maybe
I don't have an answer for you....
I just want to say I never understood why some players stored their sticks half sticking out of their cases. It's a recipe for disaster. One equipment guru in the 2000's at our local room even had a kickstand on his expensive case sat in the middle of the room with expensive cues sticking out. How can someone NOT trip over that contraption, knocking the whole thing to the floor?

I agree, sounds very strange for a carbon fiber shaft to snap just from falling, even if it hit a chair on the fall. I always make sure to place my 3 cues (valued well over $3K) near my seat where I’m sitting when my opponent is shooting. No disrespect to them but accidents do happen, so if they happen to go sit in that seat right next to my cues while I’m shooting, I might move my cues to another location.
To me it’s just something you always have to be aware of and responsible for, if you are as anal about your cues and keeping them in perfect condition as I am. If anyone is going to accidentally put a ding in one of my cues, I want it to be myself, from my own carelessness.

His responsibility to keep it out of the playing area. Even for some reason if you thought it was your responsibility, you would only be responsible for the fair value of a used break shaft, never ever a new one. If you were to total somebody's 2015 chevy, they would only get bluebook value of it, not get a new car.
have you decided what you are going to do?
Throwing rocks at a '69 Roadrunner?
what needed restoration more, the car or the kid?

His shit should have been out of your way and his cue should have been secured. Custom shafts from tier 1 makers rarely cost as much as he is asking. Your call I am surprised it split.
I agree. I know people who store their cues like that. It always seemed like an accident waiting to happen. If the pool hall is carpeted, I like to store my cue under the table. I have never had a cue fall from there. Of course, I would still keep an eye on it so it didn't get legs.
Put a post on Facebook Open Billiards Market group, ask if anyone has a shaft to fit his cue for sale. Donate whatever amount to him that you feel is appropriate.
Tell him that using a case to hold an assembled cue is not recommended, point to Exhibit A
