Gus Szamboti cue.
Will have 2 or 3 three shafts.
Lacquer is worn in areas, yellowed.
Leather wrap worn with a few blemishes.
Cue is straight and no dings in the forearm or buttsleeve.

I'd like a fair estimate of value.
Estimated year it was made.

Thanks.

Thank you sir.
Classic style...hard to believe this is a 50 year old cue. The masters made great designs.

Anybody wants this, I need some good offers. The gentleman who has it knows what he has.
He also knows the market is not what it was and condition of the cue detracts as well.
That said, they aren't making any more of these.

You should get a lot of private messages about this cue. I received a few hundred on mine along with a lot of help out in the open in this forum. Good looking cue!

Hopefully the seller will hear all the recieved info, if they really do want to sell, and "listen" to today's market. If not, and are only testing the market like some, they'll find themselves in a similar situation as some...

I think it would be better for you to show some more pictures. The joint, the shaft collars, buttplate, length of everything, including shafts and diameters of the shafts. You've left out a tremendous amount of information if you are a serious seller.

All the best,

I don’t believe the OP said he was selling it. Just asking for some info.

I would estimate a value of around $11,500 if it has 3 shafts and $10,500 if it has only 2 shafts

Wednesday afternoon I will have the cue again.
Will take all measurements and bunch of photos.

Seller will give me his bottom line price. It will be listed by Thursday at what will be a fair asking price. No nonsense sale with a intermediary known seller if required to broker the deal.

To me it is a sin to have a cue like this just sitting unplayed so someday his wife sells it in a yard sale! This cue is a player and should be out there seeing action.

Free information is worth what you pay for it. Another thread where someone doesn't want to leave money on the table, and cannot price his own stuff, and wants other people to do it for free. So you get protected with no reward to those who offer up this advice. Now you know why we take the stance we take on these sorts of things. Does anyone here think that they will price it for him at lets say 15k (made up number) and have a chance to buy it for 10? It never happens, ever. Then the guys who do give him numbers have ZERO intention of buying, and can say anything they want because their T-Rex arms never have to grab the bank card.
Sorry for the cynicism, buts its deserved.

If you could read I'm going to list everything in a for sale thread after getting specs tomorrow. Big time cue dealer throwing shade on me....what will I do???
I'm selling it for an old timer, as a favor. Sold plenty of high end cues and know plenty. I don't take shit from guys like yourself.
