By the way you are right eveyone does have the cushion built in and your prices are just as fair as the next guy and better than some.I guess I should have left you guys out of this but I saw the SW in the thread and used it as an example.Nothing wrong with the price on the Kers.Someone may buy it at that price,but my point is that just because you guys are asking $8000 does not mean the cue is worth $8000.
Another SW Question!

No, certainly not...it's just a listed price. But if it does, then maybe it is. Or if it sells for $7k, then maybe it's worth that. Or $6k... Fact is, though, that unless you are well connected and willing to peel out $10k, chances are you won't be getting a new one from him. For that reason and that old Kers's are some of his favorite cues, Scott bought into it pretty heavy IMO. Maybe good move, maybe not....only time will tell.
Sorry about the thread, but I saw it and had to reply. Guess I sort of have you all to thank. As it turns out, I also got an email about this very cue this afternoon. Checked my records and we no longer have this plain jane predate SW for sale. I had already removed the high res pics and meant to remove it altogether. Site is corrected now.
It's not about being right or wrong. The market is just high on these cues. I think you getting a plain one for $1200 and a 6pt for $1700 recently are both really solid/good deals. And that's certainly buying as low or lower that most dealers are these days.
BTW, we do have an ebony nose one for sale now at $2350. It think that's priced pretty fair. It needs to get added to the site...hopefull will get it uoploaded soon. It was in somebody else's booth last week for $2600.

sean, i have not had the pleasure yet of buying a cue from you (altho i may try soon, you have one i like). i think you have some of the fairest prices i see for a retail site. and you constantly will offer specials such as the andy gilberts around christmas.
this drama about "trades" will always be around. the only real way to see how much a dealer is giving on a trade for any product is to get a cash price on the item that you want to buy (without the trade) and then mention the trade afterwards. but be prepared to hear an honest actual cash value of the trade that way. and a dealer has to resell the item so they are not going to give a retail price for a trade unless it is an unusual circumstance. the dealer has a right to make money, that's why they are in business. this applies to cues, cars, anything of value.
