These days the guys who build cues that actually go up in value are Dennis Searing,
South West, Barry Szamboti, Dave Barenbrugge, Ernie Gutierrez John Showman, and a few others.
Those cues will stand the test of time, and there are some newer names that look
promising and already have long wait lists.
We can name at least 25 more great cuemakers but do they really go up in value?
From my experience most these beautiful cues by great cuebuilders will never be worth
more than the day they went out the door.
Typically people order cues because they want that cue not to sell it, dealers deal, but
the cues that go up in value are hot items.
