Next Batch Update
Good Morning,
Visited Ernie and his partner yesterday and came back with new update information about the next "Two" Batches. Including pricing and configurations Ernie may be offering as the assortment in each batch.
Before we get into that, it's been decided that we would freeze the list as is (54 - 3 sold, see below) and not accept any additional names at this time (sorry egon). The reason, we all know the quality and collectability of Ernie's cues and that cue prices can fluctuate and increase with demand, cost of materials, etc. Ernie, his business partner, & I appreciate the support & encouragement AZ Billiards has given Ernie during his "comeback" so we will price protect his cues for the entire list. Whatever the final price, all 51 remaining will be offered the cues at that price without the fear of an increase. After that...
? This is our way of saying thanks.
Please note that the following preliminary pricing is for the base cues noted and if additions were made to them (inlays, additional veneers, fancy rings, etc.) there would be an additional cost. The final decided price will not exceed the following (although these prices are more than fair already
):
Standard cue w/1 shaft (what has already been sold).......................$575
4 points, no veneer w/2 shafts....................................................$1000
4 (8) points, 1 recut point imbedded in each point, 2 shafts..............$1300
4 points w/2 handmade veneers w/2 shafts....................................$1400
Note: All 4 point cues, I'm told, will have fancier rings than the Standard cue. I saw no samples of a completed pointed cue but I saw the recut points for one of the cues and they came out awesome.
Here's what to expect as far as time frame: next batch will be a 9-cue assortment and is estimated to be ready in about 6 weeks. The next batch should be ready in another 6 weeks. That's 18 over the next 3 months...getting excited? Of course, these time frames are on cuemaker time so please be patient.
