Question - TS Titlist

I don't think it is expensive. Its 1900 for a mint scruggs with 3 big shafts. The blank looks to be about as good as they come.

Call Tim and ask him how much for a new standard 4 point cue with 3 shafts.

$1900 for a scruggs titlist conversion with 3 shafts.... seems pretty inline to me...
 
its a nice cue and if i had the money i would probably think about it but how much does the 2 extra shafts bring up the value? there is only 1 original to the blank.

Most likely NONE of the shaft are original to the blank. Im sure Tim made all 3. A new scruggs shaft is about 200-250.
 
Aren't Tim's basic 4-point w/veneer cues 1900 to start with anyway? I know a conversion won't be priced the same as his basic 4-pointers....but still....

yes that cue sounds about right. might actually be a hair low with 3 shafts


I would think so....considering some of the other titlist conversions he's done. And also, for awhile at least, he is not taking on any more conversions. I talked to him a week or so ago about doing one for me....
 
i also think the price is in line with most retail stores.i would think you could pick one up for $1300-$1500 used around here or on Ebay.Chalkers has always been a little pricey.they are probably the secong most expensive retailer besides IndyQ.
 
chalkers.com has some of the best deals i've ever seen , they're relentless in thier collectable cues division!
nice Scruggs find by the way!

Why is this TS titlist so expensive? :confused:

It's not just a Titlist conversion. It was made from new original Titlist cues dating from 1959 and stored for 40 years. Those were the primo years for Titlist. The cues themselves in new, unplayed condition, whould bring in good money, maybe as much as $800 to $1000 before the conversion. I would certainly consider buying one for that in unplayed condition. I've seen a couple of these Scruggs Titlist conversions and they are as clean as anything out there.

tate again is very right. many many cuemakers convert any titlist they find. veneers seperating points all off when many souldnt even be used. 2 pc cues are hard also. i wont convert a 2 pc bc most are skinny in the joint and too much work

the condition of this titlist to me means its a superior cue

i was lucky and found 4 in almost the same condition. also packed away. i was told they were ebony and immed. jumped in the car and drove 2 hrs away...lol rosewood... but awesome
 
I think it's kind of high priced for a plain cue IMO , I had a jacoby titlist same colored verneers with also a hop ring if I remember right, my points were a little shorter and this one seems to be a little fatter, the only difference I could see also is it has a wrap mine didn't and this has a hop ring with TS , mine was I think around $700 or something and I turned around after having a wrap installed on it and sold it for about 450-500 don't remember , but to pay almost $2,000 for that,

lol u just compaired a jacoby to a scruggs.

i love dave jacoby hes a great guy but his "production" keeps his market down.

in the same way i was a schick 26 1-2 conv for 5000$ plain as possibly w/o a wrap at all
 
yes I can compare a TS to a Jacoby it's only writing or initials on a titliest cue , can you tell me what the difference is between the 2 titliest cues besides that , the thing I liked about the jacoby was he has an insert in the joint which tightend down nice and snugged ,

the last titliest cue you commented on was Vass's cue he was selling where you said you seen the verneers coming apart in the pictures and Vass corrected you on that because I couldn't see what you were referring to either ,

but please tell me the difference between 2 titliest cues made by 2 different cue makers besides there signitures on them ?

I'm all ears today:)

i will make this quick and sweet bc u obv know alot less about cues then i thought. much more than writing names on a cue

i love dave i bs with him all the time. everytime i see him. i dont want to offend him

if i have to tell you you shouldnt be here.

t.s. make 100 cues a year.
jacoby makes 1,200 cues a year!!! 1,200!!!!!!

there is your difference pal plain as day

ive seen enough titlists to know what im looking at. im not the only one that said that. i could have been wrong but ive seen it a million times
