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....
