For Sale Section - Custom Cue Pricing

[Hungarian]

I for one don't see how certain pool cues go for $5k, $10k, $20k and so on. I can understand that some are legitimate works of art. But when I look at some of these cues from certain cue builders and it's let's say a four pointer with some ivory in the butt sleeve and it's listed at $20k but the cue builder sold it for $3k new 7 months ago I just don't get it.

Other thing that really bothers me is when these cues are posted and you see all of the other Cue Flippers making comments like..."nice monster", "great player / investment cue", "you did it again Bill...great find", great price won't last long", "what a work of art", "won't last long" ....and on and on. And they post these comments one right after the other. It's always the same guys. These cue flippers. In the corporate wourld this type of activity is considered collusion, antitrust and price fixing.

Can't wait for this to end in 2012.

You're reading to much into it. We might say that, but what we are really thinking is... you son of a b***h, I can't believe you ripped him off.... what a corksoaker you are putting it up for that much..... what an a$$.. he wouldn't know a Balabushka from a Mali....

We just aren't aloud to type that in the thread... but its what we are all thinking...

There is an old saying... there is an a$$ for every seat, cues included. If people think they are not priced correctly no one will buy it and the price correction will occur. Besides how many cues do you think sell for exactly the listed price? Between trades, and other arrangements, it hardly ever happens.
