confused...

Aomebody please tell me... am I overpriced on this cue or is the economy just so bad that nobody is buying? :confused:
 
those are really nice cues. market is slow and grim looking, sometimes it hard to move production cues on this forum or unless you are giving them away. gl with the sale.

I am trying to sell my COTY mCd's and not having much luck.
 
Yep.. market slow, AZ is more for custom cues. I got a new COTY 08 #139 that I have been trying to trade/sell and.. well.. I still got it.. so you can see.. market and the audience here.
 
Thought so thanks. I guess I'll have to try ebay or something else if I don't get any interest. Thanks. :)
 
I would buy one in a heartbeat if I was looking for another cue. But I to save up for bigger purchases.
 
Oooops, I don't think the ad was clear... The only cue available is the one on the top. (the orange and red) All of the others have been sold. Sorry for any confusion!
 
How even are the points? And how even is the spacing of the splices right above the wrap/ringwork. Seen alot of these "remakes" or whatever you call them that were way off.
 
I would say that the spacing above the rings is even... if you are looking for the 'perfect' cue though this is not it. No, the points are not even... these 'remake' cues were made BY HAND from the SPLICED BLANKS that were laying around the warehouse at McDermott from the 80s. Many players do not understand the proccess of splicing these blanks together BY HAND... the chance of getting them 'perfect' is very slim. Any good cue collector knows that this is part of the charm and adds to collectiblity. And in my opinion plays better. TO THE POOL "PLAYERS/COLLECTORS" OUT THERE.LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT CUE... IT CUE CAN ONLY BE CREATED BY A MACHINE~ if this is what you are looking for please go by a Players Cue ~ they are made in China and will cost you less than $50.
 
I appreciate the "knowledge" you are dropping on me, but the evenness of the points IS a desireable trait in cues. I've seen some that are nearly an inch different, and IMO drastically take away from the cue.

These are all nice looking cues in the pictures, not trying to take away from that. No offense was intended. I believe that was a legitimate question regardless of my so called status as a "collector".
 
Sorry if I seemed a bit hostile, I didn't mean to come across that way... I understand that evenness of the points is concidered a MORE desireable trait in cues these days... The statement wasn't aimed directly at you but at the many young collectors who think the points on a cue should all be even and perfect or it's junk. These cues just appeal to the 'older' experience pool player/collecter who remembers the days of good quality hand made cues - not the mass produced CNC cues made by 98% of today's 'custom' cue makers.

Just how off are they?
 
I actually have two of the same exact cues. The points are uneven on both of the cues... On one of them, the points
are sharp but are uneven by up to half an inch. On the second cue the points are uneven by about 1/4 inch but the points
are not as sharp. Of course, this does NOT affect the collectability or playability of the cues. :)
