It depends on a couple of things imo:
1. Is the price you pay a lot of money to you? If it is, I wouldn't play with it, and I might not buy it.
2. Does the cue play good? It might just be a show peice and not a good hitting cue.
Personally, I think you can get a very good cue custom made to your specifications for a heck of a lot less. I wouldn't pay for a cue like this because I'd be too afraid someone would steal it and I would only buy it if I could play with it.
