This might sound dumb but would you break them up and sell them seperately?
Interested in playing one.
 
It is a shame as I am the one that Paul made them for and you are right, I paid almost 5 grand for the pair when they were made.. I can't believe that his cues lose so much value when his work is so good. I got rid of them at a weak moment, needed the cash but I do miss the pair..

Good luck selling them, looks like your asking price is way more than fair IMHO.. Just about what I sold them for if I recall correctly.. It makes me sad to see them again, wish I had the money to buy them back but I don't unfortunately..

I don't remember, are you the person that bought them from me??

Peace, Joe
 
Wtf?

I own several PFD cues and I love them all. :grin:

The price for this set is really far below the original cost of more than 5K and yet here they still are. Seems if you want a great looking and playing cue go with a second hand PFD....if you want a collectable cue that will hold its' value or even gain value PFD might not be the best option these days :confused:

This pair should have sold a long time ago IMO...crazy times

I know there are only a few select makers these days that are building cues that hold their value or ACTUALLY appreciate in value, but my question is this....does Paul's work seem to lose value more, less, or the same compared to other top makers? Makers that have been around for years and turn out true quality with playability (such as PFD). Can the thinktank that is AZ help answer this question and/or provide insight as to why it is the way it is with PFD cues??

I love PFD cues so please don't flame me for asking the question

One thing I've noticed is you do not see any of his higher end cues up for sale on here...Somebody's hanging on to 'em...

Hell I've thought about it, but I wanted a single cue with a little more work and an ivory joint... The pair is awesome though...

I too think Paul's work is underrated here on AZ...and I also think there's a good bit of hype out there as well as outstanding work... The criticism he gets for using CNC is really just silly to me,...What's most important is how a cue plays...if it's aethetically pleasing too, well that's just a bonus... I'm not going to lie to you though...if I see a cue that plays great...but is boring looking, I'm not interested...and that's my humble opinion...I want my cake and eat it too :grin-square:

My cue looks and plays fantastic, and I'm sure this set does as well...
BUMP for a killer set...

Anthony,

I'm afraid you are right.. I've owned quite a few of Pauls cues, only one at this time.. They were all stone cold beauties and they all played very very well.

The unfortunate fact that I experienced was that they are not easy to sell for close to what I had invested in them. I took a pretty steep loss on all of them, not sure why but the cues that I had, just were not easy to sell and come close to breaking even.

This set, was my first set and I paid a pretty penny for them, lost my a$$ when I sold them originally. AFter searching through my e-mail, I sold this set last June, to someone other than this seller..

As I mentioned, not sure why they don't seem to hold their value but my experience was that the PFD cues that I had just did not... I don't get it, they play good, look good and Paul puts a lot of pride in his work.. It just does not compute to me??
 
Sometimes I think this shit is just a popularity contest and maybe Paul just isn't that popular...maybe the right people have been rubbed the wrong way and their influence on the market for his work is what we are seeing....IDK :rolleyes:

Maybe I'm just getting too conspiracy theory on this one :shrug:



almost forgot...BUMP A DOO
