iv been thinking about these perticular cues for a while now. its a guy on ebay selling a lot of 24 anvil sneaky petes for $350. thats 14.59 per cue. i believe i could sell them around my neck of the woods for 30 per cue. double my money, the only thing is having overhead untill they are all sold. another thing would be telling my friends that for every person they get to buy one il give them 5 bucks and still make a little profit, thats making 10 bucks for doing nothing. $30 isnt a bad price for a cheep sneaky. cheeper than a players or a lucassi and the same playability. i have a players sneaky and one of these and cant tell the diference other than the buttcap. anyway you put 350 into the sale....keep the money aside untill they are all sold and you got $720 (getting a full $30 for all 24 cues) to start over with. im not going to do it tho bc its just another hassle i dont want to deal with right now. just thought i would share an idea for anyone wanting to make a little more lunch money :) what do you all think? could you sell them all?

i think it would be too hard to sell them. i mean, if u're selling them to people who want to buy a cue, most of them wont want to buy some cheap sneaky pete. even if it plays the same as a more expensive cue, i dont think ppl would want it. u'll probably be able to sell some of them but i think 24 is too many to try and sell. finding 24 ppl who want some generic sneaky pete cue is hard since u can just use the ones at a poolhall. if u get the lot of 24 cues from aska, those will be easier to flip. it costs more than the lot u are listing but those cues at least look like they're somewhat nice so ppl wont mind spending money on them. i know i bought one from them for 30 canadian and my friends all thought the cue was worth at least 80 dollars. so i think those would be easier to flip if u really wanted to try.
 
Also...

you will likely find that 1/2 of them will be warped.

The dude on ebay may have had the same idea and it didn't work. Now he's possibly trying to sell them all in a lot for a smaller profit.
 
Me too, but I am going to pass on them.

I was thinking about getting some of them also and giving them a pass on the lathe and put a new butt on them. :eek: Maybe like Padook, PH or Ebony. A local player did that about 20 years ago and they are well sought after now. But, I think he used Valley's bar sticks cut them in half and made a custom shaft and added to the butt? :rolleyes: Maybe, I am wrong, he may have truespice the hole thing, but they look like your daily bar stick with a nice butt. :p

Bugs.
PS- I did buy one of the "Eliminator's" off the same guy and it was my break stick on league till I got my RB. I may take it to the lathe this weekend, due to the shaft on the S-Pete was never true..... and could use a new shaft and screw! (paid $22 including shipping) :o Once I am done with it, it maybe only be good for fire wood.....IMO :D

There was a Honeymooner episode similar to this. Ralph bought some product that he figured he could flip. He could sell them for a ton to some other sucker and Alice said the only sucker already bought them.

It seems like a lot of trouble to make a potential $350.
