Maybe if i read the link ......................
I just looked at the link provided by RackmZackm and read the letter from SW cues. The letter was addressed to my good friend from Dubai, Merwyn Fernandes. Merwyn will not buy a cue unless it is worth a good amount of coin. He has no junk in his case for sure. He just bought an original Gus that's gorgeous. I also know the new owner that posted the current thread and he is well known locally and is very trustworthy. Good luck with the sale Sean.

I have to say that this original post was very misleading. Upon reading, I understood it to read that Jerry had hand signed his name to the cue. It was disappointing to learn it had only been engraved, with a random word at that.
The cue will only have special appeal to someone who's nickname has been established as "killer". It's not like it says cool cat, Ginky or toasti (well known players' knicknames.
Sure the additional shafts add some value, but only for someone looking for some "spares". It's not like they areall identical where a player can swap them out at will but still maintain consistency of play/feel/hit.
For the right buyer, named killer, with the curiousity to sample different hits, maybe $3k. Everyone else, not named killer, and not octophrenic, much less.

I think this is a cool cue, even without the engraving and 7 extra shafts. The engraving of "Killer" takes something away from the cue, IMO. It would be interesting to know the original owner...was that his nickname, or was it a reference to the cue.
What is it worth? Whatever someone will pay. It is a documented, authenticated very early Franklin cue, so it has value, although I don't know how much that would be. Personally, I would figure the cue and 2 "original" shafts would certainly be worth $2k or so. Six spare shafts have to be worth $100 each or so, although if they are SW fitted shafts, they are probably thinner at the joint and would only fit another SW. If I bought the cue, I would probably sell most of the shafts to minimize my investment. I don't think the aftermarket shafts add much "sentimental" or collectible value to the package.

Have to keep in mind that the non matching LD shafts will only bring value to those that use them. I don't, so they'd be of no value to me. Ringwork doesn't quite match up either. Wrong color brown phenolic.
Then there's the matching SW shafts, & 2 of the 3 would be way too small for me. Which would mean I'd need 2 new shafts, & I'd deduct their cost from the cue.
The engraving means absolutely nothing to me. The fact that it's personalized to an unknown would reduce the value a bit more to me.

i don't think any of the comments were negative towards the owner in any way. Most of us know him/of him already.
The cue is what he asked about, and he was just given open feelings about it, like he asked for.
What negative comments.???????????
Am I missing something here? I'm good friends with both Sean and Merwyn. I was merely giving my blessing. If there were any negative comments directed towards either of these stand-up individuals, I certainly wouldn't be very kind with my comments.
Marcus. In what part of my post did I imply that I thought there were any negative comments about my friend Sean?????

I would love to hit some balls with this cue. I bet it hits awesome. In my personal opinion the cue might be worth 1800 to 2000 bucks. In all reality the "killer" could be his P*&NIS. It is a cool cue though. I just sold a brand new merry widow for 1100 bucks a couple months ago with a letter from Laurie.
I also had over 1000 people look at the cue on EBAY not to mention on AZ. 1 person pulled the trigger at 1100 bucks. I think the market is terrible right now. It might be a different discussion a couple years ago.

I had no reason to take offense to your post. I was just confused as to how you could possibly think that I was responding to negative comments that weren't there to begin with.
Note: This post wasn't edited because I still have my sanity.
