1990's Tim Scruggs cue

[Teutone]

The Tim Scruggs cue belonged to banking Bill (Bishop) of L.A.'s Hollywood Billiards fame who used it for a year or so before I got it in the late 90's against crashing a car of mine. Cue is straight with 2 shafts, black leather wrap, mint condition, no damage cracks scratches or dings.
I have a Gus Szamboti cue bought in 1984 from Bob Vanover in Dallas TX, never used the Scruggs and it's probably time to put it up FS.
Tim Scruggs initals signage and I don't know whether JANUS was a name or a TS style? Located in the Los Angeles area.
Can someone tell me a realistic FS price for this cue?
Thanks

I feel certain that it is someone's name... Tim had no real "model" names.

This belongs in the "Main" forum vs the "For Sale" forum for valuations.

My guess is that's the name of the God Janus

I haven't posted here before. Can I ask you to post a link to the main forum where I should post?
Thanks

Edit: Has already been moved to 'Cue Reviews,' thank you.

IMO its a 3000-3500 cue.

Exactly what I thought. I am an old fart Euro expat from a time when one of the classic Languages were mandatory, either Greek or Latin

IMO its a 3000-3500 cue.

Thanks for chiming in.
I looked at Tim Scruggs cues on ebay, not the prices people were asking but looked up the actual prices his cues sold for.
I would rather see the cue go to a player / collector than a reseller.

I have my trusty old Gus Szamboti since the mid 80's and never used the Scruggs. Since 97 or so, it has just been sitting there in a case gathering dust, and it's time go to someone who hopefully uses it.

Can anyone here verify who this person is? I'm interested in the cue, however they are a new member and i'm not looking to get scammed I know i'm also new here, however i\m buying not selling and would use a broker if i made a deal here with this individual
