Here is an interesting story. I am having a cue made for me. I traded away a cue that I owned to have a trader have a cuemaker he knows make a cue for me to my design specs. I should be receiving the cue in the next month or so. Got the proof, and it is attached below. Check it out and let me know what you think, and who is the cuemaker. Whatdya think? Would it be tradeable, and for what? Would anybody be interested?

Thanks,

Michael

Dp? Yes

It is a DP, and that is the dillema. I am hoping, with all I have heard about his actions towards his customers and distributors, that the trader has a close enough connection to Dale to make sure my cue is better than what I have heard about the ones that he sells on ebay,etc. I feel he does, and therefore, this will be a very nice cue in quality and feel, unlike what has been reportedly coming out recently. So it may not be of any value to most, but I feel it will play well and be taken care of during creation. Let you all know when I get it. Will post pics and review.

DP's 4 pointer design

It is his usual 4 pointer design with the shamrocks and green malachite rings with nickel rings bordering the malachite rings. The butt will also be green malachite designs with ivorine border. This pic is just a proof, but should be a good representation of what the cue will look like at completion.
so any value to it?\

Thanks,

Why didn't you just order a McDermott? :) :) :) Unfortunately, you may have a REALLLLY hard time trying to resell it for anything more than about $600 IMO. His stuff is really had to sell on the secondary market unless you got it real cheap. He would probably tell you it would retail for upwards of $2000+. Hope I am wrong for your sake. DP takes a bad hit on this forum.
 
Funny you say that cuenut

Well, I traded a used Mcdermott Founders cue for the DP custom. It was a nice cue, but I wanted to try out a DP. Then I heard all the commotion over DP here on AZ, and it got me thinking that I would never trade this cue. Not that it's a problem, because it will be a very unique cue in its design. I just will probably play with it, instead of test hitting and putting it away for safekeeping. Just wanted to know if the value of my trade seemed good. It is a very unique cue, and should turn some heads locally, if it doesn't get any respect on AZ. I guess that is just the deal with a DP.
 
It don't matter who made it if you like it! If you are buying it for resale, that is another thing all together. I hope you enjoy your new cue.

I agree--enjoy the cue. Although DPs take a hit on this forum, I have owned three and think they play very well. The question of resale value is a different issue altogether.
 
Rabbit? Rabbit who?

Yes, Danny is the person who I made the trade with, and I have been very happy with his input and relation on the trade. He is a great person to deal with, and I know he will make sure that the service issues/quality that is questionable in regards to DP himself will be avoided. Great guy to deal with, and just talk to about pool. I just got the proofs yesterday, and wanted to see what people thought.
It will be similar to his, but some slight differences to make it DP "1 of 1" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Just kidding.
