Hi, I will be getting a SW cue in the near future, my question is,

How much will I need to get a plain birdseye SW, one shaft is fine

and

How much to get a 6 pointer, pretty plain besides the points and veneers

I know it is a pretty general question but I just need a ball park figure.

I have about 4-5 cues I will be selling to fund my purchase and want to know if I am there yet.

Mace jump break, good condition
Jerico Stinger J/B, also good condition
Predator 5k3??, great condition
Jerico Sneaky Pete cocobolo, great condition
and something else, don't know yet

So I just need to know what kind of cash I am going to be needing, Please don't PM me about these cues yet, I will list them for sale when I decide on the Southwest I am getting.

If you have a southwest and like the list of cues above and want to work out a trade of some sort let me know, I would love to see what you have in mind, thats why I have posted this. Thanks
 
Just...

Mis-read post...15-1700 for plain jane. It is likely you will not find a merry-widow player as they are incredibly rare.
2000-2600 for 6-pointed cue.
3000+ for recut points.

Laurie may not know the aftermarket price structure. I'd think you'll need about $1500 for a satin cue and about $2k for a 6 point... give or take a couple hundred based on age and condition.
 
Since you are asking these questions, I assume you are going to try to purchase on the secondary market, since there is an 8 year waiting list for new Southwest cues at present, and if you were on that list, you would already know a close approximation of your cost. If so, expect to pay a premium. I would expect a plain jane birdseye player to go for $1200-1500, IF you can find one. A 6 pointer will set you back $1800-2500, depending on age, condition, number of rings, veneers, original full shafts, etc. A really nice, clean Jerry Franklin era cue might set you back a little more.

she dosent and dosent like to talk about that topic, she shys away from it. your best source of information is the internet-thats the market and you'll see more cues here than talking to Laurie who isnt interested. the numbers posted above in this thread are accurate and a good starting point, they are within 200 either way, the rick is figure out what you want there are more 6pt around and its a matter of finding the colors/woods you like
 
OK, thanks for all the help, I will post again when I am ready to buy, may be a while, I think I need some more cash.
