The used pool cue market seems to be booming again.

It seems to me that the used pool cue market is really booming again (and I am not sure how long it has been doing so well), because it is really hard to find a reasonable deal on a used cue (one that I really like anyways).

There seems to be only 1 used pool cue dealer here in Louisville, and I could not find anything I really liked from him (that I could afford anyways).

Cues on ebay are selling really well, going for some pretty high prices in my opinion.

Those old Helmstetter cues are selling really high (most people seem to think that they were really custom made, I am guessing, with the prices that they are willing to pay for them).

I was at the DCC last year, and it seemed that all of the used cues that the dealers were selling were way over priced.

I seen this nice old Jackson cue, and it was not all that fancy, and the dealer was asking like $700 for it.

For a used Jackson like that one, I do not think the price should have been over $400.

I do not see how the used pool cue dealers were able to sell any cues, with their super high (overpriced in my opinion) prices.

But it seems that the economy has gotten better, and people now have a good amount of money to spend on used pool cues, and they are really selling pretty well.

I am just having a lot of trouble finding something that really strokes my fancy (for the amount of money I have to spend on a cue).

I miss the good old days, when I could pick up a nice used sneaky custom for a $100 (but I understand that we are no longer living in the 90's).

I am happy for the cue market though. It seems to be doing very well.

And I remember when a $1000 was a lot of money for a custom pool cue back in the 80's........

Today, joint protectors sets can cost that much and when it comes to custom cues, forget about it.

Pre-owned production cues are the best bargain around for a pool player......$200 - $650 price range.

Curious - what time of year are the leagues where you are? I find the best deals when leagues have been done for a few months here.

The guy has 40 itrader transactions. Thread after thread of fishing for handouts is one thing, but when you graduate to bitter nonsense threads, enough is enough.
 
I have to OP on ignore but I just have to say I picked up a Ned Morris for 400 bucks on here a few months ago. Good buys all over the place. Work some OT, save up some dough. Beast of RAT for like 500.

Ah yes....the wife.

I have one of those.

She does not touch the cues...or there will certainly be a boom. :D



Recently we moved. I moved my cues in the minivan. She tried to help unload it. She stumbled on the front walk carrying a 12x12 O'Neil cue case. What happened next was a blur to me but I remember distinctly I helped her up before I ever looked at the case. As it turned out the case landed in the grass and is still pristine as are all the cues in it.

She didn't help move any more cues.

What You said ... I finally had to place him on Ignore, as it was too painful reading all those frivolous threads. "Somebody" needs a girlfriend ... now !

Looked through his history and removed my post. Thanks for the clarification.

Seems like he is trying to flip cues veiled as a need for a new cue but not enough money for what he wants.

It's too bad. There are lots of good folks on here who could use a deal on a cue not to make money but because they need a cue.

At the end of March he posted about how bad the cue market was doing

Lol let me clarify. There are some awesome people on azbilliards who would help someone in need. It's too bad their generosity would be wasted on someone who is just going to flip the cue for a profit.
