Are high end predators hard to sell on the secondary market?

[garczar]

no idea. when their top model was like model 3k6 and costed around $800, yea i saw people here play with them. now they ask the equivalent of that, times two, for painted cues with big ugly cats on them.

and their freak colored break cues sells out because people are mental.

Only Pred stuff i might look at is shafts and even then imo they are way overpriced. The OP's cue is a nice piece, their collab's with US custom makers was/is a good idea. Still crazy priced tho.

Profit on their Chinese stuff has to be massive. The workers are probably making 1/5(maybe) of what pay is in US. I've never owned a single Pred product. Their cues have never done anything for me. They are marketing guru's, their diehard fans won't buy anything else.

I know it's crazy.
Picked this custom up about 8 months ago to my personal specificatins from inlays, colors, etc. and it cost much less than some of Preditor's high end machine made products. I just don't understand it.

IDK who ever bought those high end predators?

I bought a Virtuoso because I like cocobolo and turquoise and I liked the way it hit. Is that high enough end?

Curious. What did you pay for it?

I've got a couple 314's that I use on other brand butts. I'd like to try a Revo, once I find one for a decent price that will fit one of my butts. That's about the only thing Predator I'm interested in.

I got into the Predator ecosystem for a song but would still buy a radial P3 (or at the very least a Revo shaft) if I had the pocket change, given my time with a P3 & the 11.8 Revo it came with (retail at the time it hit the market was $1,200-1,300 so not the same money as $1,500+.) I did like the looks of one or two IKON models, but they only came in uni-loc so they can go pound cat litter.

I need a cue that hits a ton. Predator cues always hit just under a ton mostly half a ton so I have always shot with other cues.

I have a couple not predator that hit a shitton. Interested??

They're about $3,100. Add a Revo, an extension, and feed the government tax trolls and you're at $4k. There are a lot of customs you can get for that.
