Hey, sorry I'm not actually selling anything, but i have a question about a Pred 4k1 price. Comes with both 314 and Z shaft from 1st gen (obviously). about how much would it go for in 90% condition? and how much would it go for with a bent joint pin (Its uni-lock joint), not enough to make it unplayable, but enough to piss you off(it has a slight wobble when rolled.) Also the ferrules are both messed up, whoever did the tip job on them sucked ass. Both tips would have to be cut off and both ferrules would need to be sanded down and leveled out. The butt end of the cue is in 90% condition, other than the joint, and both shafts are in good condition (no dents, no blue-ing) other than the ferrules. Can someone give me a price on a cue like this? I was thinking of buying it off a seller- hes asking $400 and there is no way I'll pay that for a cue I'm gonna have to have worked anyways. Thanks in advance! :)

Figure each of the shafts are worth about $100-$125 or so, so that is $200-250. I would not want to spend over $300 total if I had to replace the pin, probably less. Retail new (with 1 shaft) is only $545, and the shafts are that main things of value here. Reason for that is that you have no way of knowing if the joint area was cracked by whatever bent the pin. The cuesmith won't know that until he removes the old pin. Also, Uniloc pins are usually more expensive to purchase. That is just my opinion. Joe

Gen 1 314 shafts sell new for $150. With the ferrule damage and the need for u to get a guy to do it assume that costs u 25 bucks each. A used shaft should only be worth about 66% or so. So assume its 100 bucks for each shaft minus 25 for the work u need to get done on it.

So 75*2 = 150

The butt is worth like 75- 100 bucks. I wouldn't pay more than 225 for that. Probably less.
