I am about to buy a cue and the guy says it's a players and he paid $200 for it. I was hoping someone could verify this for me. I don't know much about cues and it is for my dad.

in case the photo doesn't show it very well it looks to me like a blue wood grain

Hard to tell from the pic. It may be a Player.

Maybe he did pay $200 for it. The cue market is seriously depressed though so I hope he isn't looking for a lot for it used.

It looks like a fairly plain cue, so $200 sounds really high for a plain Player, even fancy ones are generally under $100. But he could have simply overpaid too.

Generally Player cues are considered "budget" cues. They're not bad, and some swear by some of their new shafts.

But you can likely do much better.

Why don't you tell us what you are looking for and what your budget is?

I bet you can get some good suggestions. Maybe even some good offers. There are always "value" cues floating around here.

I just sold a cue to a friend in perfect condition that would probably be on par with that cue and I let it go for $40, but that was a friend that needed a cue. His was stolen. I was going to give him the cue but he insisted on paying for it.

maybe a Mali.

That shaft has seen better days. Does not look like it's worth $100 in that shape.


Tons of new and used cues around $100 you can get that are nicer.
 
You can get a new Players cue for a little more than $100.
Much better looking than an old one like that.
 
nontrad19, not the best deal. Keep shopping. You can do better for your Dad. For about the same money you can score a new Schmelke cue that plays very nice. Remember this is your Dad were shopping for....and besides it looks like someone has used red chalk on that cue.:eek:
 
Looks to be an old Players before they changed their logo. Absolutely too much. Take your C-Note somewhere else.

Definitely too much.

Even if it were perfect I wouldn't pay $100 for that cue, and that shaft looks rode hard and put up wet.

My little bro bought a players cue ALOT nicer than that like 2-4 months ago to break with, and he paid like $75 and it was nearly new.


best,

Justin
