Old MALI cue, what's it worth?

[Killer Miller]

Can some of you Mali guru's price this cue for me please.
The finish shines but has about a dozen small dings in it.
The shaft has some runout in it but is tolerable.
The butt has some runout in the forearm, lifts at the joint slightly when rolled.
I believe that it is from the early 80's.
Any info will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Larry

one other thing I would like to add, is I awalys thought Mail's back in 85 when I starrted playing at a pool room which sold rthem were a lot of cue for the $$$. Moving forward to today I still think even at $150 if it dosent rattle or make funny noises its still alot of cue for the price. Sure there are better cues but not many better cues for 100-150$. IMO.

I have an identical cue. It's a Mali t-15 from their Trophy Series, circa 1985. It weighs 21.3 ounces and I bought mine that year and use it to this day.

I see them once in a while going through Ebay and they sell in the neighborhood of $125 to $175, plus shipping.

I buy the older Mali's on occasion. If yours roles true and the joint is still solid and the butt doesn't rattle (too bad), I'll give you $150.00 whenever you're ready. You can reach me anytime at jhowarddowdell@hotmail.com Just type in "Mali Cue" in the subject box.

Old MALI cue, what's it worth

I read your post a little closer as it relates to the condition of your cue and I'd say it has some significant wear, especially with the slight warp. The most recent post valuing your cue at $87.50 might not be too far off. I have the identical cue and would like to have yours as well. Are you willing to sell it and what will you accept, including shipping?
