Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

[jasonlaus]

There are alot of things that people collect that don't appreciate in value, I don't have the desire to collect cues, for me they are the most important tool I use in my pool game, I enjoy the art and precision in building a custom cue I just don't have the desire to invest in owning a cue that I won't use to play, I love the cue I own, it feels like it was built for me.

Who says you cant play with the cue? My everyday player is probably $7 - 8k

20 years ago everything was ALOT cheaper, so $1500 then is like at least $3000 today.

Yeah. And Nvidia was worth $4-$8 per share.

That’s great. Are you nervous about it getting stolen? Do you take it with you when you go to the bathroom?

No and yes. If you don't take any cue with you to the bathroom it might get stolen

I wish I was smarter back then.....

I wouldn't use the cue because it's not the cue I own now, it's not a cheap cue but it's not anywhere near that kind of money, I don't blame you for using it though, if that's the cue you play the best with you should play with it.

One thing id bet for sure is that any cue you built would look exactly like this....or worse

So looks like a Pewitt but it ain't........

It doesn’t look like a cue design Ed Prewitt made. But then again, I don’t get to preview, or see, every cue he’s made.

Appreciate the effort, but improved pictures would be required to appreciate the craftsmanship.
