Trade-in Value of Cues Versus Cash Value?

Uhhh...this has nothing to do with Joe (I know Joe from back in the day and have done business with him many times) it's that this thread got hijacked with a ref to Joe and has taken a new tone.
 
Joe is a solid guy

Tracy Joe Salazar is the best player to ever come from Tracy California.

Fatboy is also from Tracy Ca, I happen to be the 2nd best player from Tracy Ca. Lol

That’s been our running joke forever. Joe played MUCH stronger than I ever did. He was a champion barbox player.

Good guy to do biz with. Honorable.

Fatboy<———came after Joe did, we’ve never played but I know who’d win😉
Now I know why Jam called him Tracy Joe, Thanks for that Fatboy.

Can anyone or person(s) well versed in selling and trading cues tell me how it works exactly? I plan on bringing some cues to the EXPO this year and wanted to understand the differences. Thanks in advance...
Cash is king, trades are worth whatever the recipient says they are.

A friend of mine will be there with a big envelope to buy for better than trade value

Cue deals work like this:

If you have a cue to sell me, it's not worth very much.

If I have the same cue to sell you, it's worth top-dollar.

So many people are guilty of that. Also the trade scenario of "my cue is gold, yours is shit"

Knowing what you are trading up is the key. You’re almost always better off selling directly to another player who plans on playing with it than you are selling to a dealer, who is just planning on turning it around and making $ on it.

The only advantage in selling / trading to a dealer is they are generally always willing to give you something for it whereas holding out to try to sell it for a higher $ to someone planning to play with it will be much harder to find.
 
I guess this question has many interpretations... If the question is like used car values, then the trade in (dealer) is always less than the cash price (private sale).

Trade in is to a dealer. Their sole purpose is to make a profit. That means they will give you less money for a cue you sell them, and sell you a cue for more money, as compared to the cue with a private transaction. Perfectly reasonable because you are dealing with a business that presumably has less risk than an individual, and you are more likely to find something this dealer has that you want.

I swung my hammer to help you, sorry if I missed and hit you in the thumb.
