Ok so I completely understand putting your name on a cue diminishes resale value. I also understand that "life" happens sometimes and you might need to sell at some point. For example, my pup, Boti, had an expensive surgery this week and I had to sell my Tascarella cue to help pay for it.
I've been buying, selling, trading cues now for about 15 years. Had a ton of high quality cues come and go. More than a few that I instantly had sellers remorse over. I'm tired of buying and selling cues. The cue market is crap, you have to practically give stuff away to make a deal anymore. And the number of people out there looking for a nice, high end custom cue to play with are dwindling by the day.
Since I had to sell my cue to help with the surgery, I have to order a new cue at some point in the distant future and am thinking about putting my name on the forearm of the cue for two reasons. 1) So that I will be deterred from ever giving up my cue ever again. 2) If it will be a somewhat pricey custom cue of my dream design, having my name plastered on the forearm would help deter thieves from trying to steal it. Maybe?
Thoughts? Opinions?

who buys a cue with in intention to re-sale it...and then puts his/her name on it? If you are needing to sell a cue to pay for your dog's surgery...maybe your priorities are misguided?
By the forearm, do you mean under the wrap? If you want to mark the cue as yours, maybe engrave the buttcap so it can be replaced easily if you do sell it.
I don't have an opinion on putting your name on your cues, BUT I did just see your JB case post in the sale section and I hope your dog gets better. It's always sad to see a little guy like that in a cast.

I have put my name on several cues. Haven't had any problems selling them.
