When this sells please let me know the selling price so I will have a better idea of what my Szamboti should bring. Thank you

That's only about 4 months from now and not that far from me so there is a good chance I will make it. Thanks for the advice

That makes more sense. I was hoping to be able to show the cue to several people in person at one time which seemed like an efficient way to get some exposure and maybe make a deal

I wanted to ask about something one of the people in this forum said to me in an earlier post regarding my question about taking my cue to a cue show. He said the following.... "05carbondrz March 18, 2017 ...... and attendees are not supposed to shop Cues around,Only Dealers who pay for a...

I was unaware that dealers did not want attendees to bring their personal cue to a show to sell it to them. I would have thought they would enjoy the chance to buy cues as well as sell them. I used to be a coin dealer and when I setup at a show I would buy all sorts of coins from the people that...

Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to respond to my ivory question. I am glad there have been no problems for people visiting/selling at cue shows

I took the pictures down because the interest in this forum had run its course and I was looking for other avenues such as in person cue shows,etc. This is what sparked my question about the ivory issues because of a scare I had heard about earlier this summer and I wanted to know if anything...

Have there been any new developments about taking cues with ivory to cue shows as far as confiscation, etc?

Well, it looks like this is coming to a close with no posts for 10 days. I hope I was able to provide some insight for the group by posting the numbers I received both in appraisal and offers. To recap the appraisals, after throwing out the highest and lowest, ranged from $10,000-$18,000 and...

Thank you. Apology accepted

I have no idea what you are talking about because I haven't offered this to anyone until I posted it back on Jan 31st. It has been in my safe deposit for the past 20 years. You have me confused for someone else.

Just to be clear, I am asking $18,000 and not $18,500. As you stated, that is above the offers I have received but I wanted no confusion. After all $500 is $500. I am glad you love the cue and am again puzzled that someone else doesn't like the dots :)

Interesting.....The black dots at the tip of the points might be my favorite part of the cue. That's why they sell chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream. Everyone likes something different. :) I took this cue back to the bank a few weeks ago but before I did I screwed it together and did a...

My using the word "hosed" was in reference to the suggestion of putting it up for auction and being unlucky enough to hit a badly attended or uninterested auction and ending up getting "hosed" especially after all the buyer/seller fees. The word had nothing to do with the offers and advice I...

Selling with an auction house poses too much risk for me with buyers fees of 15% and sellers fees of an additional15% meaning if someone wanted to pay $18,000 they would only bid $15,600 and then after my seller fee I would only get $13,300 and I would be right back to where I am now with an...

This is exactly why I stated from the beginning that I was going to share the appraisals on worth that I received from 150+ messages and also the offers I received so that it might help the community to be better informed. I always hated seeing something for sale and then 2 weeks later going...

I am comfortable with leaving a "little room" for the next guy but I think approx. $5,000 is a little too much to leave on the bone. I appreciate your point about when to sell, etc.... and as you said we all have an uncertain future. Thanks again for your valuable input.

I certainly wish I had but I did not buy a case at the time. It came in a triangular cardboard shipping case

Thanks for your input. I certainly do want to sell it which was the point of doing all this and posting pictures and getting literally 150+ messages about the cues value. However, I want to sell it near the upper range of what was told to me rather than at the lower end which is why I turned...

I certainly appreciate all the advice. Thanks again for the help
