How much will you pay for a PLAYING CUE - Without seeing it in person?

Snapshot9 · 2007-03-09T16:58:42+00:00

All the buying and selling that goes on in AZ subforum and even on Ebay, and other websites, I just got to wondering what are people's limits on spending for a cue that you had only saw pictures of, and had not touched to see how it stroked, hit, or more importantly, the balance of the cue. I am sure someone has probably spent a $1,000 or more on a cue sight unseen, only to discover that something about the cue was not right for them. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT CUES ORDERED AND MADE BY A CUEMAKER, I AM TALKING ABOUT USED CUES.

I have purchased 2 Richard Blacks (one via e-bay and one elsewhere)... one was $2k and one was $2300. I also bought my Black Boar from e-bay... it had minimal description and two photos, as I remember.

Did not have a problem with any and actually got a great deal on each one.
