I just bought this cue from Unclaimed Baggage down in Scottsboro Alabama. Can find very little information about Les Blevins cues. Looking for information on value as I may sell or trade it locally. Thanks for the guidance.

Nice cue. I know they're somewhat hard to find. Looks to be in darn good shape for being made in 96. I'm not super familiar with his cues but interesting to see that short of a ferrule on that old of a cue, but maybe he did them like that. I would ballpark around $500 give or take.
 
I didn't know airports sold unclaimed baggage. Do you know how long it was there? Someone flying with a cue of that vintage/quality would probably want it back.

Stroke, appreciate the feedback.
 
Axe, I don’t know. From talking to the folks there, they have said it is in the 3-5 month time range that if items aren’t claimed the items are sold bulk to them for resale. It’s wild the volume of items that get left on planes or in airports. There’s a new documentary on Hulu about this process and how items aren’t returned to owners or if not claimed sent to 3rd party for resale.

Interesting, I wasn't aware. Looks like you got a solid cue out of it.

I appreciate the 3 minute notice. lol I mentioned initially I would buy it, a message stating a price would have been kinda nice.

My initial communication was that it would go to eBay if a local sell didn’t go through. I listed on eBay 11/12 and I notified you that it was on eBay Wednesday evening 11/19 and you responded, so you were aware. It was up for a solid day and a half after that notice. All you had to do was search and make an offer on it and it could have been yours. I had multiple offers on eBay during that time and accepted the best price, in my favor. I’m not sure what I’m missing here other than in the 24+ hours that it was available for you to make an offer, you didn’t take action.

When you posted it I was immediately interested, you posted on the 27th I replied on the 28th. Your deal fell through, most people would go back to the person who said they were interested instead of posting to Ebay telling that person to just do a search and placing blame.

It would have been a done deal with me.
