I am liquidating my collection. I have two of Chuck's cues. Bought them so long ago I don't even recall what I paid for them. I know he passed last year. Has anyone seen any of his cues for sale? Just trying to get an idea of fair market value. Many thanks for the time of anyone that can help.

Collection?

You need to add the cue specs to get this cue sold.

Sorry. Had the spec's in a picture, and forgot to add them. Specs have been added

Butt: 29" long. 16.2 oz.
Shaft 1: (Refinished) 29" long. 3.6 oz. 12.25 mm.
Shaft 2: (Not Refinished) 28.25 mm long, 4.0 oz. 12.2 mm

Also, in reply to Reverend H. Sorry. Must be the lighting difference from the pool table to my wall. I have more pics and a video if you like. Thanks.

That's not a cue

It’s not? I’m losing it

It's simple, just tell the owner the tip won't arrive for 2 weeks so hold onto the cue until then

Nothing is ever simple. I never placed an order for one tip, or one of anything else. I had to see what I needed and put together an order. Might not have time to do that right now. Things like phone calls and putting orders together are dead time. You have to do these things then when you charge more for a tip than a few dollars above what the tip could be bought for from a discount house people think they are being robbed. I used to have a sign up that included fifteen dollars for the first five minutes of phone calls and two dollars a minute afterwards. Never charged it but the sign by my desk sure cut out bullshit phone calls! Until I put up the sign I had people calling me three times a week just to bullshit! I did tell a few people the next call would be billed.

A shop with three people working often ties up another person with the things that can't be billed. After a rainy weekend or just the phase of the moon sometimes I wrote estimates from the time I opened my gate till the time I closed it. No billable time, didn't even take time to eat lunch! I have owned over a dozen businesses. The grass is a lot greener from the other side of the desk!

Both can be true and is.. they are good products and they want to invest money in the game. Isn’t that what we complain about? Manufactures not investing in the game?

Ultimate Pool and Matchroom both using the same ball suppliers and cloth now. Interesting they've both made the same moves. Wonder if it's because they are genuinely good products, or just companies offering them good financial terms. I suspect the latter, but don't really have experience of the equipment to judge it so I may be being unfair.

Everything ultimate pool have touched has failed so I wouldn’t pay attention to them at all.

Clearly a sponsorship so about the money but it does not mean they can’t be better also.

very fair point, but it's hard to know what's a cash grab and what's a supplier producing a quality innovative new product when you haven't tried them yourself and pro players opinions aren't too trustworthy as they often have financial incentives to promote certain equipment. Was more curious what others experiences were (if anyone had used them).
