You are self-insured. Someday you're going to pay for a cue and it might be hefty.

I think the price is area specific as well as what is involved in each case. I just did a wrap, and the last guy used the wrong glue. I had to strip it off with pliers' bit by bit. Took an hour just to do the prep. The type of leather is also relative, if someone brings me expensive exotic there is a certain amount of risk involved. I have installed EE that is so thin and brittle that it is like installing toilet paper. It will tear at the slightest tug. Having said that I am reluctant to quote a price until I have seen the cue and leather in person.
I am not a Cue maker
But the obvious answer to me,
Would be for you to go to various Cue makers, websites and see what they charge for wrap installation
It doesn't matter what others charge.
YOUR NOT THEM!
YOUR NOT THEM!
Along that line and Thank you by the way.
What was there for a wrap before?
It was nothing special, just an embossed cow leather. Not sure what kind of adhesive he used but it wasn't fun to remove.
Agreed
I was talking in General about all Cues and what was there before. That could determine a price change.
Ex
Regular wraps or wannabee cues with that ridiculously thick rubber on them.
Yes, building up wrap grooves or modifying the groove is a whole other kettle of fish. I always quote separate for those tasks.

Yes, $150 plus cost of material was my first go to. I have decided to stay away from almost all the exotics until I have way more successful install under my belt. I have heard plenty of stories about the exotics and their reason why different ones are more difficult than others.
