Cheap cues that you cant part with

I have a Shredder cue that I bought about 10 years ago. The butt and the shaft are warped and the ferrule needs replaced but I can't even bring myself to even throw it away. It looks nice but made cheap with a stainless piloted joint. It wasn't a bad deal for 20 dollars.
 
The first new cue I bought cost me $155. Perfect balance. Feels great.
Not for sale. Bought it from a guy called Gus, from Pennsylvania. That was a few years ago. July, 1977 actually. Probably fully depreciated by now.
 
My sub $100 cues.

Unknown sneaky with amazing shaft wood $7.99 with a $20 shaft retaper. Amazing.

$20 from the pawnshop. In assuming its an import, great shaft wood and puts the balls down quite nicely. And it's purty.

Unknown titlist for $80 at another pawn shop. I love this cue.

I'd part with the center cue, reluctantly. The other two are staying.

Another one, not for sale, I paid $225.00 with 2 shafts.
A Meucci JR-2 Jimmy Rempe model. Bought it in August 1987.

First Meucci I ever saw that was not finished over the wrap.

Perfect balance, 19.5 oz. , classic Meucci long taper.
 
I have a 90's McDermott that a friend gave to me when I was playing in college. Cue still hits great, straight as an arrow. I keep it I the trunk for whenever I feel the urge to hit some after work.
 
I have a handmade Terry Mathews cue that I can't part with mainly because no one wants to buy it. :)

That cue is fantastic, but I'm using an Ikon-2 1 largely because I want to be able to buy a new cue that is similar to my playing cue should I freak out and smash the cue on the table or something along those lines.

the one with shaft re taped really looks like a palmer!
 
The titlist does look a lot like a 2nd catalog palmer, with a few slight differences.
1) the foil only has a name, no "original by palmer"
2) the joint collar is 1/4" black, 1/2" pearl, 1/4" black. Palmer's have very thin black collars around the pearl.
