Simply an awesome looking cue.

Good luck with the sale,

Obviously the market is terribly off - this price doesn't seem at all out of line for this cue. Given that this one and the Sugartree 'stained glass' are still both available, and at reasonable prices given what their lower-end models are going for, it's looking more and more like these higher-dollar ones are viewed purely as commodities and if there isn't a buck to made in flipping them, the cash-flashers disappear back into the wood-work.

Good luck with this sale!
 
Nice cue

I have noticed that Dennis's cues usually sell between $800 and $1200 over his pricing from when the cue was ordered so to speak. This would make this cue a little above what most searing buyers are accepting as tollerable.
It is hard to believe that anyone looking for a Searing would pay between $2,000 and $3,000 for a player and leave this cue sitting on a forum for sale for $1,000 more that that. I have always thought this joint type out plays his half joint in many ways. Although others say the half joint will move the ball easier I think this fiber short joint of Dennis's has a more amazing playability with the luxery a very forgivable hit.

My thoughts....$4000 is kind of in that "transition price range". Somewhat out of reach for most buyers that can afford to spend $2000 or $2500 for a real nice cue, but perhaps not fancy enough or high priced enough to draw in those high-end buyers that can truly afford it. For a long time dealers have referred to this as the "dead zone"...tough movers.

At any rate, I am very surprised that one of the bigger buyers without a Searing in their collection hasn't snatched this cue up....being 6 points and with snakewood, unusual veneer colors, and style of rings are a big plus IMO. If I had it for sale, I would probably be pricing it at $500 more....

Good explanation!
