Contact Jim Pierce…..tell Jim that Matt told you he can build a handsome cue design for under $1700.
Keep in mind that cue sales are taxable & there’s also shipping/insurance costs the builder must cover.

Really? Their non-custom cues often cost more than that
My first job was in a large, very old factory; it was there since 1900. One day (in the early 80s) I was wondering around and found old file cabinets in storage. I found employment records there from the early 1920s. Hourly pay ranged from 20c to 40c per hour. The funny thing was most households were single earners and they had larger families.
I grew up during times of high unemployment. I can recall interviewing and fighting for entry level, minimum wage jobs...and they all paid the minimum wage. Now, today, get this: my 18-year-old son working part time as a bank teller started at $25 per hour. Something isn't right.
The part that's not right is that a family making around $8000-10,000 a year could afford a house in the 1970s. Now, $25/hr is almost not enough to rent a nicer apartment in larger cities.
At a minimum, the U.S. as a country need to make it so that when a company holds a house for more than like 3-4 months without reselling they pay a lot in taxes/fees.
