I don't usually concern myself with how much other people pay for their stuff.
But maybe that's just me…

your paying too much for cues

You can say that about everything in life. Clothes , cars , golf clubs , food. The list goes on and on. Pool cues are like art. It’s worth what someone’s willing to pay for it
Nothing has that rich, warm sound of vinyl.
About the same as a low end player I'm guessing.
300 is way over the mark of a top playing cue to begin with

$300 is too much. I play with a $100 one right now and I'm bitching about it too.
That link is right up my alley if I want a shooter with a hint of exoticness. LOL
My wife’s grammar is top shelf, so is her character. Me, I’m a pool player so my grammar sucks
Getting your point across can become fuzzy with horrible grammar.

I don't disagree a good playing cue can be affordable. If all you want is a standard maple shaft and decent playability I think something can likely be found for $100-200 easy enough. If you want really solid quality that isn't just a basic sneaky or a painted piece of plain maple then going up to $500 opens lots of options including some with low deflection probably.
Good playing cues don't have to be expensive.
But, sometimes people want artistry or craftsmanship or performance features (carbon shafts, screw on extensions, specific tips, etc) that drive up the cost. Nothing wrong with that either. Doesn't have to add to the playability to be a viable reason for selecting a more expensive cue in my opinion.

To be fair, so is criticizing someone for the manner in which they spend their own money.
Heh. I bought an OB 10-12 years ago that people said was too much, 600$ for it back than, still a great cue today. Than met somone who had a carmeli for sale that looked and played great. i got at a steal of a price but was told the carmeli was too much cue for me back than. The carmeli sold for almost double a few years later.
There are always going to be people complaining somone else has nicer things. Personally, I dont care what people spend their money on. Spend what you are comfortable spending, enjoy your toys no matter the cost.
I tell people all the time this a hobby for most. Enjoy it. None of us are getting rich playing a league or a tournament. Sure, we might come out on top sometimes but all said and done i happy to have a fun hobby that i can enjoy and usually not cost me much overall due to being in the money now and than.
Yes i have pricey cues, and i have cheap cues. Its a hobby. I enjoy it.

never criticized for what you pay or buy. get what you want. i do.
just said basically is that the first 100 to 300 to maybe 500 determines the play ability of the cue the rest is fluff.
how hard is that to understand without jumping on me.
this is not an intellectual forum so i try to spell out things clearly, but some still have problems understanding simply put things.
and feel they need to attack the messenger for their lack of mental acuity.
