Cues rarely seen for sale

I can't remember the last time I saw a Colorado for sale, I have a couple beauties, maybe if I ever get a decent camera I'll post a few pics. And I keep going back and forth on selling my Ernie Martinez cues cause every time I pull one out I just get that feeling when you know it's something really special.
I am always in the market for 1960's - 70's fancy vikings priced to sell FYI. I should buy a camera... prolly wont .....

Cuesblues had or still has a couple of Colorado cues,or maybe they were Vague Doug's
Anyway they looked good and played quite well for a relatively unknown cue.
 
there are a lot of variables as to why some cues are rarely seen for sale.

rarity, scarcity, collectability, desireabilty, detestability (is this a word?), etc.

So considering 'cue is so undesirable' all the way to 'cue is incredibly rare, high quality and collectible', both can account for being "rarely seen for sale" for very different reasons.

e.g. we don't see many Spaldings or Heavily inlaid Southwests for sale.

Abe Rich cues I think sold as Star cues. His shaft wood was said to be absolutely the best. He was out of Florida.

Randy Mobley's cues come up rarely for sale and they are the cutting edge. It might have something to do with how nice they hit.

Good point touched on here. There are cues the collectors go for because of rarity and beauty...these may or may not be good cues for playing ability..a prized feel or hit. I have one of those, a Palmer Model M from the second catalog. It hits like playing with a pipe. Made for when tables had slower cloth...I bought this new, hang on to it for nostalgia reasons.

I also have a Keith Josey...made in 2007. Also bought new. One of his pantograph cues, titlist style with 4 needle sharp veneered points. I hang on to it because I love it's stiff hit with great feedback.
 
Ray Schuler. Not the legacy cue series. The By Ray Schuler original kind. A hit only a true player can love.
