I agree and disagree. I don't see them as a pure investment but they are in a sense, if you take care of them. Especially cues from famous and desirable makers. If you can take care of them and treat them right, you can sell them for the same or even more than you paid for them. I buy them to play with 100% of the time but when I find myself not playing or enjoying them as much as I should, up for sale they go! Let someone else give it a shot.

Have you ever thought about a cue as a "soulmate." There may be that one cue out there that is IT for YOU? You love it and don't want any other cue? HAHA!

I've always liked the idea of having a Tascarella cue. The history with Balabushka, the classic style, very old school.

So I got a quote...nothing fancy, his classic 4 point, 4 veneer with stainless steel joint, a few notched diamond inlays with leather wrap.....$5,250!!!

The questions I have...

1. Is that worth that price or should I find something used?

2. Is it worth the hype? Does it really have a great hit and feel? I know its subjective but I do see a lot for sale.

3. Do you have one that you would never get rid of because you love it so much?

4. If you have ordered a custom from Pete, what aspects of your cue have you loved or not loved?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
John
