Fancy ringwork at a,b,c,d,e

This cue hits very nice and is balance perfectly. Im just having a hard time getting used to a wrap . I have played with wrapless cues so long it hard to get used to a wrap who knows maybe i will :rolleyes:

So should i sell it or just keep it and try to get used to the wrap :confused: If i do sell it any idea what is a fair asking price ?
Im open to cash offers maybe another cue + cash ? Hell i dont know what to do i had wanted a Tim Scruggs for about a year then i get one and sell it the same day :D Thanks in advance for and help !!!

Im not real sure yet . Im listening to offers cash or trade +cash .

Thanks Larry
 
i would think sale price would be about $700-$800 at the highest.

I had a gilbert, bought it when he was a pretty hot up and coming cuemaker. Paid a tad or so under $1000 for a southwest style with ivory ring at the bottom and ivory shafts and ivory joint. Couldnt get more than $5XX selling it back out. His cues doesn't really hold value. Actually, few cue makers do. I just closed a deal for my bender (to someone here:P) for 9XX...and no offense, but Benders are probably worth a lot more in the secondary market.

I think if you don't like the price, just keep it and get used to it. You can also test the waters, throw the cue out on the AZ market at a price you want and see what it gets.

I agree with the "testing the waters" theory. You don't have to commit to the sale until you hear the right number, so it shouldn't hurt to post it as for sale...might be something someone really wants out there, and they wouldn't know it was available otherwise...

Otherwise, I actually think that Gilberts aren't that bad off when it comes to holding value. There are plenty of other cuemakers out there who rate lower in the secondary market resale value (like Jensen and Howard, for instance -- and I can't understand why!!!).

Thing is you have people who aren't necessarily interested in the cue calling out a number right now...and what you want to find out is how much a person who IS interested in the particular cue is willing to pay for it. :)


...in any case, good luck! ;)

Thanks Jd ;)
 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Gilberts are like 90% of all cues they sell better in different parts of the country. I've sold 5 gilberts in the last 3 yrs an did well with all of them. They seem to gain in value in my particular area. Andys work is flawless an he is making higher end cues. This in turn should make his lower end cues cost more. I don't see how you could go wrong with a Gilbert.
