Holy Sh-- that Beautiful. Way out of my class . Wish I could help with a price, but if I have to ask, I can't afford it. Thanks for showing it. Jim
I'd say around 800 bucks maybe.
Well, I thought Brandon was jokin' with his guess, especially for a cue with this much work however I looked in the new blue book and it days Robert Burgoyne's cues are listed under Q-Works and that his level 5 cues, the highest level listed, are $900 and up for a perfect cue.
I will say, it certainly is a beauty and with all the work in both the butt and the shafts, I'd think it would be the TOP of the Q-Works market, whatever that is.
Hope this helps some and welcome to AZ.

But that is just it...
But that is just the point...its not.
If it was made by either of those two you mentioned the inlay work would be much cleaner...flawless. I also bet that it does not play as good as an Ed Young either.
Don't get me wrong it IS a nice cue, not my flavor. However, there is a lot of work in it for sure, especially those fancy shafts.

I'm not saying that it should be valued like an Ed Young. The work is not as clean as other well known makers. However in the blue book It has Cantando and Youngs Level 5 cues at about $2000 and Burgoyne at $900.
If this was made by a known maker like young it would be valued at least $4000, why not at least $1500 for burgoyne?

The workmanship would have to be a lot better for that kind of $$. for example from the photos;
the points are very uneven,and dont look super sharp. There could be other issues with a closer look?
Top cuemakers would not have let that out of the shop based soley on that.Thus the price difference.
Don't rely to heavily on the blue book for pricing. It is VERY flawed at times.
just my opinion.

Look at the finish. Waves good buy to ya! Not a cue with any real vlaue. I don't know of him or his work but from those pics that is not a well executed clean cue my any means. I do not mean to bash it but he has a lot of learning to do. Exotic though. Just not my flavor even if it was executed well.

very well said. I use the bluebook for picture refrence only. I disreguard every number in the book.masonh said:
As far as the cue. Its a great idea but just not executed well. Love the theme but the points are off and the inlays are not sharp. Also the uniloc joint is a huge turnoff to me. I repair but will never build a cue. Its not bad for a cheap custom but it has little to no resale value.

Hits insanely great.

Btw, as for the value of the cue, as many have pointed out here the Blue Book is a guide at BEST. If you REALLY want to know what it's worth....it's whatever someone will pay, you can put it up on ebay and get some REAL opinions in the form of bids.

I enjoy the bashing considering those that are bashing know nothing about Robert. All hand inlaid, hand made cues. Each of the cuemakers he's compared to are using pantographs and cnc machines. I'll say this for his cues, they hit like a dream - both the Uni-lock and the 5/16-14. I have 56 cues from Black Boar to Action and I've got a $100 bill says you can't tell which have a Uni-lock joint by the hit, just saying.
So you bump a 12 year old post for shit talking?
