HOW much is ur cue ?

Schon
I play with a beautiful Schon Ltd made in 2000, I guess I got it for about $1100, I use several shafts depending on conditions and the game I'm playing, but the past two or so years, it has mainly been the OB1. I am a fan of others also, the Predator and Tiger being two others I love...I like the soft feel of the OB a lot though. My break cue was one of the XBreakers when it was being made by the fabulous Samsara cue makers.
There is such wonderful craftspeople in the cue industry it is a true match between art and science. (thanks for opening my eyes Tony)

is your murnak the one with the gina symbol and snakewood styled points? that's an awesome looking case...
Mine was for $200, a Joss Limited from early 90s that I got for that thanks to some mixed up pricing at Boston Billiards. Think it was $500 or 600 real retail or so at the time. Only cue I have really used for some 15 years.
cue cost
Hmm. I'm probably going to regret revealing this to myself.
McDermott: my first cue over 20 years ago, can't remember the model but always remembered what I spent - $267
Meucci 84-4: $320
Meucci DH-2: $350 (ret. $600?)
Meucci PP demo: $220 (ret. $290)
Meucci HP-3: $350 (ret. $450)
Nick Varner J/B cue: $57 (don.t know)
Stealth J/B cue: $65 (don't remember)
Audrick Custom: $135 (ret. $180, I think)
Joss (older model as yet unidentified): $160
Pechauer custom: $300 (ret. $1080)
Plus three that I can't remember what I paid or what they would retail for. The other four that I got as gifts don't count, right?
"But I saved over a thousand dollars!" - what my ex-wife would say here.:clapping:
Chump change compared to some, I supppose.
If we're only talking about players, my primary cue(s) are the Meucci DH-2 and the Pechauer. Everything else is either in storage or in the bullpen.

My cues are all built by Alpha Cues. A friend of mine here in town. And although they cost me nothing, I'd value my playing cue at about a $1000. Break cue about $400 and my extra cue at about $600. Mike has taken good care of me the last 10 years or so. I love the cues he built for me, they hit as good as anything I ever picked up. I have 1 shaft with yellow micarta, one ivory, 2 hard fiber, with Moori tips on all but 1. I have a 314 shaft with a hard Moori I use to break with. 2 shafts with phenolic tips for my jump cue or break cue.
I have 17 cues ranging from free to 350 dollars.
'Bout 25 cues........from $5.00 to $5,000.00
My playin' cue was $300.00

Yes. It is an exact replica of the nose of my cue. The case contains inlays into the leather and the veneers are carved, not a patch. The case is also interesting in that the cues 2x4 are in a "U" formation. 2 buts at the bottom of the bend, and 2 shafts on each side in the "arms" of the "u". The void on the inside, is storage space accessed by zippers, creating "inside" pockets. I hate any outisde protrusions on a cue case. Besides looking sloppy, they always tend to get caught on everything. The hinge for the lid was also a design marvel, because I didn't want anything on the outside of the case to be visible.
I own a bunch of whitten cases (garbadge) and also some other big name brands, and besides a few very subtle differences they all practically look the same. I wanted something different. Murnak also has the best quality, IMO.
Anyway, thanks for the compliment.

My Jerry Olivier is $2,800.00 Ebony and Ivory, my Schon is $800.00 and my McDermott[sp] is $450.00---Smitty
Very Classy Cue, Vinnie ...
Over the past few years, I have grown more fond of wrapless Cues constructed of beautiful wood, accented with tasteful ringwork ... and nothing more ...
You did good, Vinnie ..... Nice Cue at a great price ...

My friend bought a custom made Dave Whitsell for $700 with 2 shafts. I bought it off her for $200. Killer deal, cause it hit's GREAT. I also have a preditor that I bought at the same time. It hit's way to stiff for me so for the time being, it is occupying space in my case.
