Predator LE-20th - Wow - $3295 Predator

I am appalled that the shafts collar doesn't match. $3295 and you get an off-the-rack shaft.
 
I think you get a free reach around when you order, but you might have to pay extra for shipping/handling. I'll check the link to see what it says about this and report back.
 
How can your game not improve with a stick like this? Add a $30 piece of chalk, and a $100+ case to put the chalk in. You would be ready for the pro tour.
 
Predator cues have very little resale value. I think they are good cues. But, they don't seem to move as used cues. If someone is buying a cue for more than $3000, I would suggest something that they can some day resell for something close to the original price.
$3000 will get you something nice at the expo.
I paid $1800 for a Scrugs ten years ago. I have been offered $2000 for it. I have a Predator 3k7 that listed for $1150. I paid $950 new from Predator at the expo a number of years ago. It is in mint condition. I don't think I could get $750 for it.
 
Production cues are not investments, nor are most custom cues so if you expect them to hold their value or increase then you're in for a lot of heartache. Just like a car 99.9999% of them will depreciate the minute they are produced, there are very few things in life that are "guaranteed" to hold their value.
 
Fuji, I would agree about production cues, but I think that many custom cues hold their value. I don't really follow the industry that much, so , you may be right.
 
Somebody is going to buy this.
No question about it.
Probably very soon too.
 
Their insistence of including their Predator cats on many of their special edition cues blows my mind. So cheesy.

It was similar to when Gulyassy came out with the original Sledgehammer cues, and then later the McDermott models came out with huge "SLEDGEHAMMER II" written all over them. Massive drop in appeal.
 
These cues are quite honestly some of the nicest looking cues I have seen. I love this design. If I had $3000 to spend on a cue these be up there ony list. A beautiful cue that plays well sounds pretty good to me.
 
People that would buy a non-custom maker's cues for over $1,000 would also probably spend $30,000 on a loaded Camry instead of getting a Lexus or Infiniti.

I couldn't do it. there a disposable cue to me. They have no resale value. Not to mention there cues are just to gaudy lol I think that's why I play with a road line.
 
I have never hit with a one of their cues, I do one of their shafts, but the biggest problem I have with them is they want a bunch of money for a fancy cue that has no ivory. When I pay that much it will have real ivory not a look a like.---Smitty
