Price check on McDermott wildlife wc-6 / are they even more rare in 2021?

It does sound funny. I was trying to be kind in my words.
Back to the discussion, relative value and collectability, I suspect this matters to some degree, however small.
From McDermott on the question of serial numbers:
This series is before my time, but from what I understand the WC series was originally designed to be sold in a complete set of 6. The complete sets were serial numbered and then later we started offering individual cues that were not serial numbered.
I don’t have any production numbers from back then, so I can't speculate on how many were made. It wasn't released as a limited edition series or anything; just something new and unique at the time.
If correct, individually numbered cues were 1 of 6 in a set. Personally I can't imagine who thought that was a good idea (to make money) at McDermott but it is what it is. So the 3 numbered cues here were part of a complete set numbered the same and the unumbered cue was produced without a serial number as a later stand alone. Imagine trying to track down the other 5 in your set if you only own one.
Does not appear there are records stating "how many" sets were produced and it was not released as a limited edition.
So value wise - guess it comes back to cue condition, buyer preference, etc. I would think an original, complete set in excellent condition are worth more in whole.
Funny thread. Guy with one of the deepest knowledge base of cues and cuemakers getting accused of attacking someone over a number on a mcdermott. Classic.
For the record, one I had that was purchased new, didn't have anything but the mcdermott logo. Was about 3 months after they came out.

And now we know why! I sure don't trust my memory after 34 years to be exact.
No kidding!
Now don't act like you didn't learn something you didn't need to know. If one believes "memories" of 30+ years, the "catalog" not showing numbers was actually produced "after" McDermott chose to produce singles. How's that for a pool cue factoid!!
Nobody cares.
In other words, you are no one.

I have the cues currently in my possession and working with the owner because he is not very tech savy and would be lost. I'm just trying to help him anyway i can, and also seek the guidance of this forum... was just inquiring about it to see if people would be interested. Also wanted people to know I'm not a bot since I'm a new member and don't have alot of activity on this site. I'll let him know that this was a bad idea since im not the actual owner, i will read your rules for posting in the for sale section and explain it as best as I can. I am still new and trying to learn your rules and guidelines if I break any of them please let me know.
