Maybe even Michael Vick could give them a few pointers. Looks as though he will have quite a bit of time on hi hands

With ANY production cue, I would seriously doubt you would get half that amount. As Joe (and others here) were saying, the value of actual one-of-a-kind CUSTOM cues is low, and they are true one-of-a-kinds. The fact that there are 100 of the kind of cue you have means that it was a limited run production cue. This is a huge difference.
We're not trying to be jerks here. We just want you to realize that if you are going to hold on to this cue until you get offered $2K, you will probably be holding on to this cue for a LOOOOOOooooooooooong time.
Here's my suggestion - Put the cue on eBay with a reserve of $2K or whatever you think you would need to have, and then see what the actual market bids it up to. I think you'll be surprised how large the gap is between what YOU think it's worth, and what anyone else is willing to pay for it.
Good luck either way.

The only reason you done it last year was because of the "BLACKOUT". But excuses are like assholes we all have them. I tell you what wanna put $50.00 on the game with no points spread.
That was Rutgers that beat us last year and South Florida the year before, but more importantly, why does Florida keep ducking us? We kicked Florida St. and Miami's ass, but Florida is too good to play little ole' UofL. You guys have a great program, no denying that, but stop the bullying. I'm not saying we would win the fight, but I can guarantee Florida gets punched in the mouth a couple of times. A playoff system would stop the popular vote crap. But that's another rant.PROG8R said:

From my experience . . . take it as you like
I bought a McDermott Founder's cue in 1994. This was the cue signed by Jim mcDermott that had a limited production run of 1000 (doesn't sound like limited, but I guess with all the cues sold by McDermott, I guess only 1000 of one McDermott style isn't that many). It was signed (not stamped) by James McDermott, and the cues were numbered 1-1000. I had #125. It had white ivory? points with shamrocks in the points and black & Green veneers. The butt had white ivory? windows with the same green shamrocks. It came with one shaft. It was nice, and at the time I knew nothing about custom cues. Bought it because I liked the way it looked, and paid about $900 for it. I just traded the cue about 6 months ago, and after all is said and done, I got about $750 for it, even though the blue book said $1200 - $1500, in the condition I had it in - 95%. Now I have never seen another like it, even though i have been in leagues all around the country, and played in Vegas many times, so is it worth much because of its rarity? Well, it is only worth what somebody else will buy it for. I was happy with my sale, and have gathered around other cues since my trade that are worth more than the McDermott sold for. But I would never again buy a McDermott for $900, wish I would have bought something else now, with what I have learned, but hindsight is just that.
Nice looking cue, but unless you find somebody with a lot of disposable income and a love of McDermotts, it will not sell for that much, IMHO
But good luck, and ebay is your best bet - take the advice.
