I need a little advice from all the knowledgeable azr's out there....I hate these threads as much as the next guy, but I have some unexpected bills coming my way, and I'm looking for a value on the beautiful Bender....if you would like to make an offer please pm me.....any and all opinions would be appreciated..the cue is a 15 point cue including purpleheart re cuts on the long points in to highly figured BEM...The cue has one very small finish chip on the bottom of the buttcap shown in the 2nd picture. The picture looks way worse than it is, other than the blem mentioned the cue is very nice....post or pm any questions..

I hate making estimates, just because I don't want to hurt someone's feelings. In today's market I would say the cue is in the +-$2000 range. Should bring more, but tough market/season.

Hope this helps.

Nice cue and good luck.

Jimmy :)
 
Thank you for your opinion Jimmy.....I appreciate it...:) Any more opinions, or did Jimmy hit the value?
 
I am sure that you are aware of Roy's site. He sells a ton of Benders and can hardly keep them in stock

Here is his site: http://www.indyq.com/custom/bender/index02.html

I think Jim hit it pretty close at $2000 plus. The ivory inlays in the butt makes it a little more valuable.

I feel for you having to sell it as Bender are great playing cues.

Good Luck

I would say for unexpected bills or rapid need for cash I would list your selling price at the price that you paid for the cue, that always seems like a fair place for both the seller and the buyer. Just a thought.
 
Nice Bender, the inlays are different from his normal stuff, like the Daggers. I would ask $2200 and take $2000.
 
I think $2000 is a real value buy on this cue. If the market was not depressed at the moment, I would think it would bring $2200-2400 without a lot of trouble.

If I had a extra $2100 laying around this cue would be mine. That would be a still at that price.
