Looking for a nice used straight 58", 19-19.5 oz, 13mm Omen SP in clean used condition. Hit me with what you have!
 
Thanks for the information, but, I am trying to stick to a budget. I would like to find one used for not a ton of money.
 
Maybe still looking for the right cue for the right price. I have stuff to trade as well.....
 
Thanks, Martin!

Martin, Thanks for your explanation of the price increase. My apologies, as I should have PM'd you about the matter. I have visited your website, and have seen some beautiful Omen sneaky petes! Perhaps when my finances improve, I'll grab one of these from you. I love the way Pete designed his pin, too! Classic, and original. And thanks for your prompt reply. Kind regards, Glen

The $50.00 increase reflects the increase in the cost to me from Pete for 2014. The high figure blanks increased in price and a slight manufacturing/ shipping increase over what the cues were 2 or more years ago. These cues have a very slim margin and would not get made at all if I didn't beg Pete to make them. They all have nice custom cue shafts and his custom logo pin. When these 6 are gone probably won't do them again for a few years. Martin

Hello, Just a few months ago, I too, remember seeing Omen sneaky pete cues on Superior Cue's website for the price you mentioned, $495.00. I just looked again, and it appears that they've gone up by fifty bucks, and are now priced at $545.00. If the cues are new inventory, I guess it's justifiable if the cuemaker raised his prices, but if they're identical cues from older inventory, then the price bump would perturb me, and I, personally, wouldn't buy one.

Back in 1999, I saw a beautiful sunburst, Martin D-18V, with Adirondack spruce top, in a hi-end acoustic guitar store, and the seller quoted me a price of $2250.00. A week later, I came back into the store and saw what appeared to be the same guitar, and I said, "I'll take it." As the proprietor was ringing up the sale, I saw that he was ringing up $2500.00. I questioned what he was doing, as he quoted me a price $250.00 cheaper, just a week earlier. He explained that he had sold the guitar I saw a week earlier, and that this was an identical one that he was holding on to for himself, but decided to put it up for sale. He tried to justify the upcharge by saying that Martin had just raised the price of their Adirondack spruce, so he had to increase his price. I explained that I could understand him raising the price on future orders, but not a guitar that he already had in stock, and which he purchased before the upcharge. I told him to forget the sale, unless he matched the price that he gave me a week earlier. To make a long story short, I left with the guitar for $2250.00.

Perhaps the Omen sneaky petes were selling so well, that Superior raised the prices? Or, maybe Pete Ohman plans to stop making sneaky petes in the near future? This is just conjecture, on my part. But I do know that the price of everything goes up, eventually. Even in this crappy economy. And maybe, due to the times, that extra $45.00 compelled me to write about it?
