I Used To Be An Excellent GUESSER

I wonder what the total cost would be to collect at least one cue from EACH of the 700+ cuemakers listed.

Anyone want to take a wild guess ?

Doug
( my guess is at least $63,700 )
 
Ernie, there is one more I can think of. It is Tracey Dunham. Sorry for the onesey-twosey stuff.

That is less than $100 per cue average.
I think $350,000 would be closer which is about $500 per cue average and that wopuld not get you much as far as inlays goes.

You're right, my bad. the holiday weekend took it's toll on my 'gozinda's', or how many times 700 goes into 63,700.

I forgot to move the decimal point and my REAL guess is $637,000. I think your $500 per cue average guess is on the low side. Any other cuemakers or cue collectors want to venture a stab at this ?

( I'm talking about their middle of the line cue and not their MOST exspensive or their LEAST expensive (SP) )

SO WHAT WAS THE OVER UNDER??? WE'RE OVER 700 ON THIS LIST....NO WONDER IT'S HARD FOR NEW CUEMAKERS TO MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES
 
The list may be over 700, but how many actually build cues versus do repairs? If Chris added his whole mailing list, there are probably quite a few on there who don't actually build cues. Probably quite a few who bought equipment and never used it as well or gave up after one attempt. It's pretty intimidating making your first cue or even your tenth. There were many times I was ready to throw my equipment out the window and call it quits. Now I can't. I'm addicted to the smell of Brazilian Rosewood.

I did not add my whole mailing list. I went through and added almost all the guys who have inlay machines and some who have Deluxe Cue Smiths who buy some wood and such as that says they are building cues. My guess is I have about two or three hundred more cue building customers that I did not list. I see a few on the list that might not should be on there. I think Ricco Cervantes is back in Mexico now for instance. Is Mike Morgan, Michael Morgan cues? If so, his name is Mike Miller and he is already listed. So the list is probably not perfect, but I still think there are over 1000 cuemakers in the USA and probably another 1000 easily who just do repairs on a lathe.

Lets break Babes record with #715
Lane Simmons a long time cuemaker from the Atlanta area.

Claymont,
Would you mind compiling two more lists ?
One, with the cuemakers listed according to height and the other according to age.

thanks,
Doug
