I have not scanned the cue gallery lately but got to thinking about all the cue's that people have that they would not sell under normal circumstance's. Everyone has heard the phrase " everything is for sale or anything can be bought " but what I am talking about are the cue's or cue that it would take a lot to buy. Im mainly referring to the one's that are for example $1000 new and the owner would not sell for more than the new price. This is all with in reason and it could be because of playability, centimental value, look's etc... I personally know a few people that would not sell their playing cue because of its playability. I have had over 200 cue's (mostly for a short time, buying and selling) and in the past ten years have played with about a dozen different one's. I would say about half of those were really good playing cue's but that is my opinion and other's might not have liked them. Just to name a couple were a 90's ivory jointed Paul Mottey, an early 70's Joss, an old plain jane Tascarella, Bob Manzino, an all bem Southwest, Tim Scruggs sneaky pete and my current playing cue which is a Rick Howard. I had this cue made about a year and a half ago and it is probably one of the better one's I have had. It's not fancy, just a wrapless 6 point and could use a refinish but since I have no intention on getting rid of it, I see no point at this time.
