"Very nice. I don’t think pictures are in the thread anymore. You should re post them."

There should be several pictures throughout this thread. I will message you. This cue is now almost 50 years old, giving you an idea of how old I am since I am the original owner. The late champion player Gary Spaeth is the one who persuaded Gus to make a cue for me and I am delighted he did...

Does anyone have an answer as to the current state of the market for 1970's higher end Gus Szamboti cues? I like to check in every 6 moths or so. Thanks

My Gus Szamboti from the 1977 area

Another 6 months have gone by so it is time to check in and see if higher end Gus Szanboti cues are selling. Is thge market up, down or sideways? Thanks in advance :)

$15,000

I sent you a direct message

Are you going to be there and wanting to see it?

Sounds depressing but also possibly very accurate

That sounds good for the market then. Mine is just a little ole $15,000 one so maybe there is some hope :)

Sounds like bad news for the high end Gus Szamboti market. I will check back in another 7 months and see what's happening. Thanks for the input

Been about 7 months since I checked in. How is the market today for higher end Gus Szamboti's like mine? Up...Down...Same ..?

Well under 10,000. Probably in the 7,000 range

Here you go. From the 1976 area.....

This implies that a nicer Gus Szamboti is worth $10,000 or less. That seems low to me but if that is true then it is what it is. Thank you for your estimate of the value

I do have a copy of the page from Gus' order book for my cue that Barry sent me many years ago.

You are correct that in the 3 weeks since we talked I have not made it to the bank to get into my safe deposit and take the cue to a poolroom so I can roll the pieces separately but as soon as I am able I will do that. As you know, I am older and life gets in the way at times. I thank you again...

This is exactly what I said in our message... "....I would have answered that it rolls straight together. I have never even thought to roll each piece separately but I can do that the next time I am at my safe deposit box and let you know. Thanks for your interest"

I messaged you and said it rolls perfectly when screwed together. It had never occurred to me to roll them separately and I told you I would do it the next time I am in my safe deposit box and let you know
