Nice SCHON for sale, Help Me!

[Nine Out]

Hiya guys and Gals,

I have this Schon and I personally have NO IDEA what its worth. Here's what I know.

Overall condition is very good. The cue has a small nick as seen in the photo of the butt. Rolls STR8 as an arrow together and apart!

19.5oz
One Shaft @ 12.75

I'm scared to post a price I don't even know the model, I've never owned a Schon however I did hit a few balls with it and it plays very, very, good!

Thanks for the Help...

Once I can establish Fair market value I will firm up a price feel free to PM offers, NO TRADES PLEASE.

As always thanks for your help.

My guess is around $650-$750, but that may be hard to say with this market now days.

This is just my opinion but I think you would get a higher price for a cue like yours in a different market, It seems like most of the guys here are aware of the custom cue market your cue is nice enough that it could be priced in the same range that many custom cues bring, since the guys here are educated and aware of all the customs it pushes the value of a factory cue down even a Schon. Again just my opinion but a cue like a Schon or Joss that may bring 1000 bucks on Ebay is likely to be worth around 500 to dealers and collector type guys. Keep in mind many of the guys here myself included can purchase cues wholesale and they are readily available if factory made. A dealer may pay retail for a Southwest to avoid the long wait but it doesn't apply to cues that are more available like a Schon even though a Schon is a nice cue. You know what you have in the cue and what it is worth to you, set your price accordingly. I'll go back and look at it some and give you a reasonable asking price and re post but keep in mind this is an excellent market for low production cues but most likely you won't get top dollar here on a production cue.

Thanks Guys

I myself am not of a "production cue" guy. I do know that many people like and some love Schons.

I didn't want to look like a jack leg asking too much, or not enough you know? I'm not looking to gouge anyone I just need to get Fair Market.

Once again thanks so much for the help it remains greatly appreciated!

I would Ebay it with a 750 reserve and see what happens If I didn't have a lot in it and just wanted to move it for cash flow I would put it up here for trade and see what comes in or price it around 450 OBO. I am speaking as if it were my cue and taking into acount the number of dealers here that have readily available cash to buy, but like I said in the previous post in this case another market may be more lucrative.

Schon

Looks to be CX-58. Sells for $1000 new at one distributor. I think in this market, $500-$600 would be fair.

This is another Schon on this sight you might watch how it does to get a feel where the actual market for one is here. It does look like there is some interest in them

I have always liked Schon cues. While they are "production", they make enough lower numbered models that you always run across one you have not seen before. Valuing them is tough. Most Schon cues, no matter what they look like, tend to top out on Ebay at around $600. I have had extremely nice Schon cues do very poorly on Ebay, and lesser series cues do extremely well...you just can't figure it out. The one issue with this one will be the huge finish ding. The cue will have to be refinished, and that will cost $125-175 to do, so the value will be impacted by that.

Whether on AZB or on Ebay, I personally think that you do better just to set a number to the cue, rather than assume the "what is the most that I can get out of this cue" approach. Potential serious buyers will be turned off by that. Just figure out what you have in the cue, and what a fair amount based on that, its condition, etc, and just run with it.

Just my opinion,
Joe

Well Joe

I can trade my Diveney even for the Schon then sell the Schon. I don't know the Shon's value 200, or 950 I'm lost on this cue. I was just looking for insight.

technically I'd have 700+ in it

are those MOP and ivory inlays? if so, I would guess a selling price of around the 650-700++ range IMHO

 

[2rgrbn]

650 -750 seems to be the general consensus if I were looking through the sales area and seen 750 to 1000 on this cue I would not be offended by it or think someone was crazy for pricing it that high. As I watch this thread progress I question how accurate my guess at what it is worth on this sight might be. It comes down to what it is worth to you I have cues that can't be bought and others that I would sale cheap but it looks like 650 - 750 is where yours is going to fall.

at one time schon cues brought big money they had very few dealers and keep a tight rain rain on them ever since the internet sales and making anyone that has cash a dealer it has hurt the market i would try to sell privately myself that would be your best bet.
