Gus Szamboti 70's

[jasonlaus]

I've always been able to adjust to any weight almost immediately. My Ted Harris is around 25oz with the extension on it, I played with it on all the time, never took it off except to put in a case.

Approx how much does it hurt the value of my Gus since it is 20 ounces?

 

[measureman]

You have been trolling this cue for over 4 years now.
Haven't you gotten enough attention?

Put it on eBay and find out, good luck with the sale

$0 is how much it hurts the value.

I own about 20 Gus & more Barry. I actually don’t know the total inventory. Nothings for sale.

enjoy your cue

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Owning 20 Gus cues makes you an expert for sure. I would love to get your estimate on the value of my Gus if you would do so as that would help me greatly in selling it. . Thanks in advance

I wonder if you picked up the one I had custom built/ordered 76 that I had to sell during my divorce years in the nineties. 3 shafts, leather wrap, birdseye windows in the butt

I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer with Szams, but I do have a good bit of experience with them, know Barry very well.

I’m not 100% up to date on pricing because I’m not selling anything but I can find out easy enough what the market value is of anything. It’s not what it was on the big cues. I have mine because they make me happy, not in it for the $. It’s a piece of pool history I enjoy/

I have one Double black veneer Gus with the original leather wrap and Curley maple(rare on Gus cues) that’s a early 70’s with 3-4 shafts that have been well played with. Barry verified early to mid 70 because of the double black
I traded something for it in 09-10. It’s a beautiful cue, has 20 or 24 MOP inlays in it points/butt. It’s beautiful-I wanted to play with it but it just doesn’t feel to good to me. It’s way above average in the looks dept. I’ve let lots of people hit balls with it. Meh is about good of a review as it gets. It’s in the bottom 10% of Gus’s in the “hit” dept. I don’t know the history of it. Sure looks great!

After a lot of input from many of the facebook group members I have decided to offer this for $13,500.

Sold in 21 minutes (probably). I think I know what logdog is thinking about his decision to sell for that price. Probably still the right price, though.

 

[Logdog]

Update......Sure-Man said he thought it was a different Gus and he was confused so he offered me $12,000 instead. Cues is still for sale for $13,500

Are there any pics of said cue? I would think it could help sell it if we could see what it looked like.

With all the covid stuff, will it be worth bringing a cue to the Derby Classic this year? Will there be enough buyers present?

Not for $13,500

Not for $13,500

You never know you might get a collector with a fat wallet that gets a woody for the cue.
Or the offers may establish a solid price.
If Sure Man offered $12K it's probably worth more then that.

Sure, but I just meant in person at Derby. A cue in that price range is not an impulse buy

 

[Logdog]

I understand. Thanks for the advice
