I have a friend who's thinking of selling his Tad. I saw it once I think it's a plain birdseye maple forearm with linnen wrap. What could he expect to get in your opinions? Thanks.

I would be interested in buying it. To get an accurate price you would need to describe it better and post some pics.
 
I have one.

IMO -

I think $1K is minimum with 2 good straight playable shafts. They sell or list for $1800.

Good luck,

Ken
 
I see them go for 1100-1300 depending on condition and vintage. Since I live close to where they're made I see more TAD cues than the average bear.

I think...

I think that as long as the cue is not totally beat up, market should bear at least 1500 and more as TAD gets older; considering the fact that they are 1800 new.
 
A lot of people guessing and we have incomplete information on the cue potentially for sale.

In my opinion, the price is influenced by ringwork (some plane jane Tads are more attractive), joint and shafts (original or not, diameter, condition).
 
Like most have mentioned, we need to know the ring work, when it was made (serial number), condition, uniqueness, and so on.

I am looking for a harvey martin style Tad, with a red ring on the butt.

Some pictures would be very helpful.

I talked to my friend last night about it and he's coming over Saturday with the cue. I will try to take pictures of it and post them here by Sunday.

I have no interest in this, if he decides to sell it, I will put any of you that are interested in touch with him.

Thanks.
