Played with them
I've had two custom Ginas made and play with both. I don't believe I'd buy a cue so expensive I wouldn't play with it.

what fun is THAT
If I own the cue, then it's definitely going to get played.
That's what pool cues are for and I'd never buy or own any cue just to admire it.
In fact, I spent more than that for a cue in my collection and I played with that cue today.
When I own a cue, rest assured that cue will get played or why else own it.
The sole exception is my Runde Schon......it was the custom build that drove Mr. Runde bonkers.
I could never part with that cue as there's just too much history to the cue and sentimental value.
Other than that, the price of the cue will never keep me from playing with it.

And when it got sore I'd never leave the mirror:shrug:

Buying a cue just to put in a safe, never to be used is just pointless beyond belief, almost as pointless as grown men collecting toys "mint in box". The whole point of cues are that they are functional art. If they are not functional or not used for the function it was made it is just a stick. Paying 4k+ for a stick to put in a metal box, never to be seen by anyone other than the owner and maybe a few friends is just silly. All of the cuemakers hard work in making the cue play well goes completely to waste. To me that's a damned shame. There are lots of people that could slap together an inlaid stick, but to make the inlays perfect AND a cue that will stand up to use and play well is a different matter.

I play with them.
I play with them.
And yet we have many members here that do just this, lock them away. I liken collectors to stakehorses, most can't play but love the game & collecting cues & stakehorsing are their way to feel like they are a part of the game. At least the stakehorse puts his $ in, the cue collectors deprive the game of cues that should be in it. Perfect example of having more dollars than SENSE. Not a sermon, just a thought.
