Well every hobby has it's costs. I trout fish and have some expensive ultra light setups, in comparison to those Zebco's you see in the big stores.
There are many a player that should invest in lessons and minimize their cue outlay. If you want to use a car analogy, money spent under the hood is smarter than money spent on paint.

hmm Let's not knock the "hillbillies" to quickly, lest I think differently of you (BTW, for part of my childhood I grew up in a trailer). You might even be related to more than you know.
i don't know why but i really dig chicks that live in trailers! down to earth and down to business if you know what i mean!
Cue values
Depends who is buying and where you are selling. In the old days (my days) $2000-3000 cues were not very common, although I saw a Balabushka($3000 said to be) that average folks would not give $50 for if laying on a table. Granted they didn't know what it was. Just very plain with no markings. In those days Joss and Schon were the hot items. The rule most went by was buy a $800 cue on Monday and it would not bring $400 on Wednesday. A little different nowdays I suppose, but I was never one to sell a cue just because I needed the money. I have never sold a cue I played with. I guess I am a (collector of my cues). I also wish I had every car I ever owned. I'm like the farmer that just keeps parking his old trucks in the field. Cues are a little like fishing poles, most people have 10-20 fishing poles but they fish with 2. A buddy of mine who owned a bar and always had very nice sticks for sale now shoots with a Guffy hustler. I asked him why and he said it plays really well and he never has to worry about theft!! A chump with a $2000 stick is still a chump!
