2 Premium shafts, Hard Ferrules

As opposed to soft or gummy ferrules?

I am sorry but seems like all the cues you are listing have quite a bit of overhead (taking into account the internet store-front).

Bob makes a great cue, I just dont see $1300 here.

Maybe I am mistaken, just my opinion of course.

Best of luck.

Nice looking cue wish I was filthy rich

Notice lately that the prices for basic cues has gotten quite expensive, whats the drive behind that JP?

~honestly curious about why a cue that 4 years ago would have been priced about 650 or less is 1300 in 2006~

Again,

No one is arguing about Tim, Mike or Bob's ability to make a great playing cue it just seems to me at least that these are all quite overpriced.

Perhaps you are simply trying to see what the market will bear?

Price increases are understood, what with inflation and cost of living on the rise, but this seems to be quite a large price tag for an ebony and ivorene cue with a couple of ivory diamonds and silver rings.

I just want to understand, because this has me mystified.

Thanks in advance for your time and attention with regards to this matter.
