OK. But the reverse would be more horrible. LOL!

What ferrules are on your snooker cues? I thought brass was pretty standard.
Linen fibre on all my cues….pool, snooker, and carom.
I've owned and played with a lot of cues including a Tad, GinaCue, Southwest, Joss West, Craig Peterson, Bill Schick, Robinson and a Schuler.
Iv'e never owned a Meucci but the times I hit balls with a Meucci and they were too wippie for me.
Whenever I have been asked about buying a cue I always say it's personal preference, buy the cue you like.
During the mid 60's, 80's Craig Peterson was a 'Highly Underrated' cue builder outside of the Chicago area!
OP has an old Gus he thinks is worth twice what it is. He keeps butting up against those in the know, telling him his asking price / valuation is too high. He keeps insisting it’s not. 10 years later, he’s still got the cue, still insisting his valuation is solid. Still asking what the market looks like these days.
Check back next August for more of the same
Well you're obviously not getting your asking price; you haven't for years, so what is the market telling you....? Whether it's 2x higher than it should be is less the issue. Most people on here have been telling you it's too high and you don't want to lower the price. You just make continual inquiries about the market. Lots of Gus' are selling quickly at asking price, but in addition to the cue being priced too high, you're hurting your reputation and high end buyers may not want to deal with you because of your behavior on this forum. At this point, your best bet is to turn to an AZ member who sells high end cues. He'll inspect it, suggest a reasonable price, take nice pictures, vouch for the condition, and the cue will probably sell quickly.
Nope. It’s perfectly priced. Right where it should be. That’s why you’re getting so many offers. Right??
The price you are asking is the "I don't want to sell" price.
I don't think you are asking anything for it because you have no intention of selling. You just want to talk about your cue and this is probably one of the few places on earth where anyone else would give a damn about the thing.
It is not necessary to pretend to want to sell the cue. This is the Cue Gallery. People post pics and talk about cues they like or own even if they want to keep them.
No person with the ability to reason believes they have an item priced correctly and it is unsold for 10 years. It's silly.
The young players today could give a crap less about the great cue makers of the past.
Give them a carbon fiber shaft on most any butt and they are good to go.
I see this all the time in bar league play.
The old timer's that collect and love the master cue makers are slowly dying off and so goes the price of these cues.
The Szam in this thread was never seriously for sale, it was and still is a look at me thread.

You missed the window where your cue could command top dollar.
The window switched to carbon fiber shafts on cheap butts.
