Some people need to learn to read and comprehend. When I said there were no such things as a $1500 cue, I meant in "parts". You are taking the statement out of context. Read the rest of the post.
Parts usually cost the same for any buyer, with exceptions.
The Name of the Maker is what drives the price of the cue...not the parts used to make it.
That isn't to say I don't have Name cues.

Let’s save some of this venom for that rail steeling lying bum of a thief who’s plan is to save pool by robbing folks just one at a time.
At least with Jackpot you got something for your money. Clearly there was deception involved from the very beginning but at least you weren’t completely robbed. For the folks who like the cue they bought, good for you. I hope you enjoy the hell out of it. (And hopefully at a poolroom again real soon!) $500 isn’t diddly squat for something that gives pleasure. For those folks who don’t like the cue they ordered or it’s perceived value just send the thing back and get a refund. I would think Dean would be willing to do that from what I’ve read, if he won’t give a refund after this new information of the builder has come out then he and this Jack guy are crooks. And for those of you that started your reply with “I didn’t order a cue but....”, well this is an open forum and your opinion matters too, just not as much as the people who bought the cues. Still important though, just like railbirds at a money match. I noticed the AZ house pro has a pretty good handle of the situation and out of all the people who didn’t buy one of these cues it’s only his opinion that really matters. I would imagine he has spoken privately with Dean and expectations going forward will be very clear. So hopefully we can move past this situation and concentrate on more important issues.
Like these two issues that came up in this thread- first of all, someone mentioned there’s no way a cue should be worth $1500. Totally wrong here. Precise artistic craftsmanship comes at a cost. From me the cost is next to nothing, but from Randy Mobley who made my custom cue it is significantly more. And judging by his wait list people find a value with him. I paid more than $1500 for mine, been offered twice that much for it and don’t ever plan on selling it for any amount. I have all but one of the cues I’ve ever owned and still only play with this Mobley, I just really like it. And if someone can find that same “like” with a less expensive cue, then rock on- you win. But that still doesn’t mean that some artists aren’t more valuable than others thereby making some cues worth the extra money.
And secondly, the guy who brought fishing into this needs to get funny farmed. Full on Chevy Chased.
