what it is worth?
Well,
I will say that is probably worth less than you paid for it, since his sales on ebay of new cues. Probably a really nice cue, but you will not get what you expect, especially here. Locally sold, maybe, or even on ebay you might get more, for people wanting an older Perry, but I checked my magic eight ball and it says, "Outlook is not good". take my opinion for what it is worth, but I just sold one "18/25 design" older Dale Perry for much less than it was bought for when original. And I have a quite unique Dale Perry custom shamrock cue listed on ebay now that hasn't hit over $200. Your best bet is to keep it if you like it, or sell it and use the money for a deposit on another cue. Or sell it, since you have gotten many years use for it, and don't worry about the low sales price.
Just my 2 cents.
