Discontinued Cue Questions

[ArizonaPete]

I shoot with a Schon CX-06 which is a discontinued cue. In my opinion it's one of the nicest cues in the CX series so why would Schon decide to discontinue it? Does being discontinued affect the selling price of the cue? Any thoughts on the value of the cue - it's pristine but I did have a embossed black lizard wrap installed?

It could be that the cost of making the cue (materials and workmanship) didn't provide the needed profit margin at the price point Schon was trying to meet. Is it nicer than other CX series? More inlays, etc.?

Cuestix Intl has Schon build the CX line. The cue was most likely no longer a steady seller or Cuestix Intl just wanted to change up what they were offering. Schon never sold this cue retail or to any other company, it had to be sold by Cuestix or one of their reseller customers.
