Would like any opinions on this MO11 cue I inherited. Considering selling it. It has some type of flaw near the gold figures, it is not raised at all and can not be felt by touch, just has the clouded appearance seen in the photo. Has a few minor scratches. No cracks that I can see at all. Tip stays right on the table when rolled. Thanks, Rich
 
Great cue. The last MO-11 I saw sell on ebay (was in alot worse shape than yours) brought 700-800. I would expect yours to bring 800-1000 if you find the right buyer. Possibly more depending on who's interested in it and how bad they want it. It's a great cue. If you don't need the cash I'd hang into it.
 
Thanks deadnutz, I don't need the money. Probably will go up in value overtime ya think? Cool to own it :) It blew my mind when I realized what I had.
 
It's probably the most desired cue by meucci collectors / circa 1975 first brochure. If it were mine I would keep it.

 
Your welcome, That is Meucci's First Brochure when he started up the company 1975.
 
:)



I think you should sell it to a collector. My starting bid is $400.



With all the cues being made every year, the actual value of older cues is going down.


Too many pool cues the world!!!!!!!!:angry:


This is a real good pool cue!:thumbup:
 
My votes with everybody else.
Keep it forsure. Very rare.
By the way I do have that brochure
and Meucci display case with many cues.
Besides my high end cues.

Yes, I think it might go up in value. Its simply supply and demand. The market is soft on everything right now. When we see the economy get better (if ever) the cue market will boom again. Do yourself a favor and pick up a good case for it and keep it in a climate controlled area. I've seen a ton of these old Meuccis warp from being exposed to excessive heat, moisture, etc. It's a pretty cool cue and deserves to stay in the best condition possible. It's never going to archive "elite" status but as far as a Meucci goes you have a gem there for sure.

To keep it as simple and cheap as possible I'd recommend a GTF copy cat case for storage. They can be had for about 100 bucks and in my opinion are the best bang for your buck as far as storage cases go. Thanks for sharing the pictures of the cue.
 
Very cool Meucci and since you don't have any money in it why not keep it. I've never seen one like it in person......very rare for sure.

Meucci is a huge name in pool, and their older cues are probably as collectible as any other models. It does look to need a refinish on the forearm but I wonder if the value will go down if you do that even if you send it to Meucci to do the work on it. May be safer to keep it 100% original and store it well. It's in very good shape, no major dings or flaws you'd expect in a cue that age.
 
The blue book of cues 3rd edition lists this cue at
98% - $1,900
90% - $1,400
70% - $800
:thumbup2:

I posted this after seeing the $400 offer. :eek:

This is just to give you an idea of the value in a normal economy.
If it were mine the lowest I would take would be $1,400, this cue
is hard to find with most being in collections.
 
Cool.

Be careful, that ghosting over the inlays is most likely the finish lifting there. An impact there could crack the clear coat or break it lose or make it even worse.
 
This guy has been hibernating in a filing cabinet in Dana Point, CA, for the past 20 years, so it never gets too hot or cold. We are going to be moving to Nevada in a 2-3 years and that is one reason I am thinking of selling it.

Deadnutz, GTF copy cat case, will look into that. It is in a "viking" snakeskin case right now. But it doesnt close all the way because the case is a little too small for it.

Thanks everyone for the advice!
 
SELL, SELL, SELL!


You are not a pool player, so why keep it? Put it on EBAY and put a $2,000 reserve on it and see how high it goes. This will tell you what it is worth in todays market.

Sell it now while it is still in nice condition. You keep it and it can warp, termites might eat it, the dog might chew it, the wife, girlfriend or boyfriend might use it to smash a spider up on the ceiling....


I don't see the economy getting any better for investing in old pool cues. I see good Meucci cues selling on Ebay every day for under $200. Dale Perry sells brand new cues for $125. People on AZBilliards bash Meucci cues all the time. Some even say they fall apart and are made out of plastic.

You keep it and you will grow old and just give it away...maybe at an auction or yard sale. This cue needs to be shown around or put up so people can see it and admire what a real Meucci used to be like.:D
 
Sounds like Poolguy4u would love to own this cue for his collection. Poolguy4u, make him a fair offer and he might sell it to you. Good Luck to both of you.

The $400 dollars was not an offer but a start of an auction. Sounds like you want to bid $1400? LOL!!!!!!!!!

The Blue Book values are way over priced on most cues, just like the retired McDermott's price list online.

Prices today are in the toilet compared to five years ago and I don't see them coming back.:(

While I agree with you on most cues, it does not apply with this rare Meucci. It's worth what the book say's IMHO. I do love old meucci's but
I am not a collector. I just have a few 1st brochure cues.
