Your quote is off a little. It should be,I have no idea what I am doing in this thread, just I'm on lunch and it's something to do. I would agree with the statement that something is worth what someone will pay for it, thats obvious. Will that person be screwed for paying $22,500, they would say no, most everyone else would say yes. There is no way in the world you could get me to part with $22,500 for any cue, don't care what it is, who's it was, what it's made of or how much money I had at the time.
I have a few cues, some just for show on the wall it makes the room look better, but I think the most expensive of those is probably worth $500, the others not much at all, they are for esthetic reasons only. My current playing cue is a production Viking, although I am looking for a custom cue to be bulit for me shortly. Thats simply because I cannot find anything out there already that fits my specifications, I know it will costs me a bit but it's the last (or hopefully the last) cue I will buy.
Bottom line I wouldn't pay that even if I won the lottery, local pick up only on something like a cue also worries me :shrug:

She is famous for a lot of cleaver quotes and was known for being very rude, although with this one W C got the best of her.
