Just like the titles states, what are the thoughts on values of this cue. Cue is new never chalked.

And yes the stain on the shaft was intentional and the cue shafts hage never been used or chalked.

Ivory Butt Cap, Joint, Ferrules and dot inlays.


Thanks in advance, Shane

The ivory joint is stained - why? Value in terms of a quick sale - within 30 days - I doubt people would pay over $1200 for this cue - it would almost have to be a Huebler collector- just my opinion.
I like Huebler cues and have owned a few - but paying more than a $1,000 for one really starts to limit the market to very few out there as buyers.
I think the asking price should be $1500 and see what offers arise.

So custom shop cues are a different beast then standard production Hueblers.

I've seen some of the very desirable models routinely sell in the $2200 to 3k range in the Huebler Fan FB group.

Saw one very rare and complicated custom shop cue go for 6K at the ICCS show in Chattanooga last year.

This cue is not in that category

No Shit...

Hence the $1300 to $1500 valuation.

We agreed prior so why your reply to mine with some “Huebler education” ?

Knock it off - we all know that there are degrees of custom shop cues and we all agree that this is not a super high end production builder cue. Plus the cue has badly stained ivory joint that will require a new ivory joint - $300+ repair- the cue has no points either - low end of custom shop - the unplayed shafts are the only thing that gets this cue to even $1,000 sale price IMO.

To the owner: The stain on an ivory joint is not intentional - it is a flaw in the cue !

You probably need to knock it off as well. Reread my post the stain on the shaft not the stain on the ivory. And 100% a stain on ivory joint doesn't require a new joint. Where in the world did you get that from.
This forum sometimes geez.

BULLSHIT!!!!!
At the very least the lettering and date in the butt piece gives it away. The ferrules are too bright to be ivory and to think that the inlays would be ivory is uh well I have a house to sell you if you think they are ivory.
a simple test for ivory is a hot needle poke the butt piece adjacent the letters and it will melt the plastic.
 
In or around 84 I had Huebler make a custom for my wife. It was very light 16 Oz. And the pro tapered shaft came to 12 mm tip as she has small hands. It had points and even put her initials in the butt. A beautiful cue that suited her nicely. She still has the receipt and tells me it cost $189.00

Greg i stand corrected. The butt cap is not ivory. The joint and the Ferrules are. I tested all of them with the hot needle.

Everyone has their opinion and often, it is supported by years of cue buying, selling and collecting.
I’m a proponent of using ivory in cues as long as it’s pre-ban. IMO, the joint doesn’t look like ivory.

Lol literally just tested 110% ivory.

Your photo clearly shows a stain on what you claim is an ivory joint. Ivory is a porous natural material and a stain would be absorbed into the material. The ivory would need to be sanded down to where the absorption ends - no telling how deep . Then you would need to polish the ivory and re match the shafts . Most cue makers would just say to replace the joint as a chemical wash most probably cannot remove an ivory absorbed stain and sanding and polishing could be a waste of time.

If that’s not a stain on your joint in the photo then why is it there and what is it?
