Has anyone had any experience with the Dale Perry cues sold on Ebay? They appear to be nice cues for an average of $100. Supposedly hand made in his shop in Florida.

Definitely not hand custom made. They are good players. They look sharp. Do not pay pay more than $100-$150. Wait until you win one. They are available daily. I have 3 DP ebays. One is holding up excellent. The rings on one are deteriorating and the 3rd the shaft nicks very easily.
 
Thanks for the comments. After starting this thread I read some other DP threads and figured it's the luck of the draw as far as getting one that will hold up. I guess you get what you pay for.....

DP Cues

I bought one off of eBay sometime ago. I will have to say this anyone that puts the cost price or retail of $1799.99 on every cue made or whatever crazy number it was and only sells them for 100-200 $ max. I just don’t know what to say about that.
His work is nice the cue is nice for what I paid for it. But after a few times playing with it I just started using it as a break cue. After making my own break cue it just sits in a dark room and waits to be given away or? Yep just sits there.
Look into other cues stay away from eBay unless you know the seller is a good seller with great feedback.
Hope my 2 cents helps.
 
I told him to go for players, the brand. The 1800$ tag he puts on it are his old when he first started, the originals, the ones that were not baseball bats, boat oars, or walking canes.

It's the second best deal on Ebay for a pool cue....

Another thing I noticed on the Ebay ad. The joints are metal to wood. That's going to wear out eventually isn't it?

Metal to wood joints are quite common and used by guy like George and Gus. The DP joints are not actually metal to wood, but a stainless sleeved phenolic, so the joint itself is essentially a flat-faced phenolic-wood joint, like many other cuemakers use.

DP cues are fine for the money and many are terrific hitters. Dale hasn't gotten $1800 bucks for a cue in almost 20 years, but I guess he still remembers the days when he could.
