Vinnie,

Your point is well taken as the amount of detail work and attention does not pay me for what I feel my time is worth. Money is not everything however.

That being said, I understand that if I charge too much for a cue and it loses value on the secondary market for the buyer, that alone is the worst thing that can happen.

So I am trying to create value for my customer and I will let the market dictate it's secondary pricing. I have seen newer cue makers to the national and international market charge way too much and if someone wants to flip that cue they can't get 1/2 of what they paid for it. That is not what I am trying to create with my brand. No Way!

If someone holds this cue in their hand, plays with it, and inspects it with the loupe, I am sue they will be happy with the price they paid.

If they are happy, I am the winner for that is all that matters to me.

Thank you for your advise and comments, they are appreciated.

Rick, I feel the same as Troy, way to cheap for this beauty!
 
That's a really sweet and sharp looking cue rick...would love to try your cues soon! If only you did trades ;)
Goodluck with your sale!
 
Nice looking cue, but I can swear those inlays and the design has been used by another recent cuemaker...

Eric,

I built a cue called The Red Devil for Dan Anderson with these inlays and an abonyia split handle. Dan drew the inlay in a napkin and I modified it to fit the cue.

The Yellow Jacket cue is a spin off. I love ebony on ebony fronts on cues. I am building The Zorro Cue which is a third spin off with veneered boxes in the butt with smaller inlays inside the boxes.

Bump for the sale.

Rick
