Cue Prices today, in this economy.

The Vandals were a group of Germanic peoples who were first mentioned in passing by a small number of Romanwriters in the first and second centuries, but became more prominent starting in the late second century during the tumultuous Marcomannic Wars of the Romans against many of the Germanic peoples north of the Danube, when Hasdingi-led Vandals took the side of the Romans, in exchange for territory in or near Dacia. It was also under Hasdingi leadership that large numbers of Vandals later migrated and formed a powerful Vandal Kingdom that ruled Roman North Africa for several generations until it was conquered by the Eastern Roman Empire in 534.

Relative how please explain your logic, I may understand it if it’s of any value. My thoughts are doubting it. But hey, Viking is a cue company.
 
At the other end of the sales spectrum, cheap cues are cheaper. Facebook Marketplace has new cues nearby for $35 and they probably have a bum tip but are otherwise OK. A pallet of new cues was sold by the box of five cues for $100. A complete set of new cues and pool accessories go for $65.

Evidence the high end cue market is alive and thriving

I doubt that.
Just because prices are high doesn't mean that cues are moving.
If you have been around 15-20 years ago in the for sale section, you would know that the market is barely breathing.
What's going on today is that dealers grabs everything fast and many cue maker don't even work directly with customers, only through dealers. These guys hold cues and it may look like the market is thriving, my bet is that a lot of the cues are stashed a way for future sale at even higher prices.
Cue collecting is an old men thing, the young don't take too much interest in this, just give them an SVB cuetec or a Predator and they are good and happy.

So if cues are not selling would that not drive the prices down? That’s kind of how prices work.

I have no idea how the high end, 2nd hand cue market is doing, but I follow Crossroad cues, on his youtube channel, and I really love his channel (really interesting videos that he posts, showing the high end cues that he has for sale, and I love hearing him talk about them, while showing them), and his seemingly genuine enthusiasm for custom cues, but wow, I do not know how people afford the prices that he charges. His cues do seem to sell though, at his asking prices, because he is always buying and selling cues. I check out his website from time to time, and cues I seen for sale in the recent past, are no longer there. Seems to be doing very well. He is seemingly a really nice guy too.
