My point was, I sent him an offer, per his request, and he hasn't responded, not even to say no thanks. It's a $475 cue brand new, that comes with a shaft. The shafts are a tick below $200. I know Schon cue values fairly well. Do the math, and I made a very reasonable offer (which i'll leave between him and myself til he responds), based on the cue being used, not new. Given the value of a used Schon these days, especially a lower priced production model and the fact that I have to send it off to match a shaft up to it. I'm not saying what I think is fair is the same as what he thinks is fair, it's his cue...but a simple response would be nice. Might be the last time I respond to an ad without an asking price. There's another thread on here somewhere about these types and I'm becoming a believer that to post, a price should be listed. I was simply looking to pick up an affordable Schon for my daughter to use while she continues to learn the game.
