No new Cues Til Things Straighten Out

Where are they? Where are you seeing them?
I buy cues for looks and taper. I like to presume straight but that's not always the case.
On looks,
Not bling. Plain is fine.

You've really got me pegged
I am only buying generic cheese and downgrading my 14 yr scotch purchases to 12 yr bottles, we all have our ways of coping. Also debating about chalking half as often to conserve. We should all list the things we are not spending money on, people need to know.

The theme of many of your posts seems to be how can I not pay people a fair price for a cue.
And I think this one is a winner. After all, I see joss cues for a grand. Custom merry widow for 3400. What a joke. Scruggs went from 1200 to 1800 to 3000 in months. The sellers arent wanting to sell at those prices so I'm not wanting to buy.
We really don't need to know what you don't plan on doing, if everyone starts posting what they are going to do this place will be chaos.
Why would you bother commenting because you know I don't care
I went to work this morning, vacuumed the tables, wet wiped them with Woolite, polished all the balls in the Diamond, and need to do the drawers/QuickBooks. I'll probably have burgers and dogs on the grill, and go to the range and test some loads out I've been wanting to try.
Ya mean like this? Brian.
Please stop, your filling my thread
Fair price... If it's custom... Could anyone understand what goes into fabricating a cue. The cost of machines, supplies, overhead, wear & tear, cue makers talent. What is being sold is worth double at minimum. I do not know any "Well Off" cue makers. They do not retire early. Buyers...like what you see. Can afford it buy it.. But don't complain about the makers fee. Buy something you can afford. Are the cues for playing or collecting?
Myself? I cut back on smoking and drinking... and only interested in Rich or Doc Frye cues if I was looking.

I’ve been buying as selling cues since 85 fwiw
The last year the cue biz has been very good for me. I’ve sold some very high $ cues. Some very low $ cues and everything in the middle. I haven’t tried very hard either. I get messages from people and they are buying and I’m buying as well. I’ve sold more $’s than I’ve spent recently. Of course that can change real fast
While I agree with your assessment of the economy, cues seem to be going the other direction.
It’s been my experience that the cue market has its own mind and isn’t linked to the overall economy. Pool is strong now, that’s driving sales. Again across all price points. To put it in perspective the most expensive cue I sold was $80,000 the least was $200. Most I spent was $6500.
So moving into this next year, I’m pretty confident in the cue biz.
