You had me at tip scuffer!!!!!!!!
Bill,
Nice old McD.. I don't think his remark is really about the market as much as it is that there are some pretty ballsy (no pun intended) low ballers. IMHO if you get a stupidly low offer, there should be a stickey in the for sale section that allows you to post low ball offers so people know what to look out for.

My bad i thought he was serious! lol.

Does it have low miles, get at least 50 miles per gallon, and can I keep the payment under a $100. a month? I just declared bankruptcy so I'll need a real low interest rate. You can call me at home. The number is BR549. Have a great day!

Jeff Eason Cue
If this is still available I will take it.
That plunger cue stand put this deal right over the top.
Toilet plunger cue stands are very rare and possibly worth more than the cue.

I swear that you always find the best deals on here. Who ever would have thought that a ''Toilet plunger cue stand'' would be worth more than the cue itself. You need to write a book with all your secret knowledge in it.
I will buy the book. Please send me your paypal info so I can pay fast & get the first signed copy of this book. Its easy money for you, so get started on the book right away.
Custom finished brown stained cue stand.
Hell, anything is worth more than an Eason cue. But the T.P. cue stand is very punique. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

This thread is kind of funny.....but as a cue maker (fairly new one) this is really depressing....I deal with this on a regular basis....I can only guess how bad the guys who have been doing it awhile feel.....I had someone try to bring me down 50% the other day on a loaded stiched ring brunswick house cue conversion for 150!!! Geezz I'd rather use it as a handcrafted compton custom broom handle than give it away for 75 bucks.
I'm curious.
What is considered low balling?
What is each individual level of tolerance to the amount of haggling?
This is a market place. And at any market place. There is going to be a certain degree of haggling. Actually that is quite and interesting process.
My opinion is. If you are easily offended by offers. Then you should not be selling here! Or you could simply indicate that offers below xxx about of dollars will not be entertain.
When i started out, i use to think a thousand bucks for any cue is ridiculous! I am not going to pay a thousand bucks for a piece of wood!
But over time as you begin to appreciate the value of pool cues and their craftsmanship. The begin to accept their worth.
Often time i feel that low balling could be just a mis-match of expectation between the buyer and the seller.

All markets shift. Sometimes they are in the sellers favor, and sometimes in the buyers.
It's usually the general economy that causes the change, but not always. Often the market simply outran itself; sometimes it's over, or under, supply, sometimes it was nothing but hype to begin with, and sometimes it's just market sentiment and perception.
I bought a antique Persian carpet over thirty years ago. Paid $1,000.00. It ran up to about $15-17,000.00 in about five years. Now....about $2,500.00 if I'm lucky enough to even find a buyer. Reason for the change was that the US had an Iranian embargo on these items which initially drove the price up, then carpets from Iran began to flood the market through England killing the market. There's always a reason.
When, and if, another market shift occurs, the higher quality segment will usually recover first.
Good luck to all you collectors and owners.
