Question - TS Titlist

pricey

The cue dosen't seem too high to me. I don't think one of his cues with three shafts would be a whole lot less than that anyway. If you want to have some fun Jeff Prather has some original Hoppe cues in the sleve and in the tube "Brand New", call and ask if he will sell one and what he wants. Might be good for a grin..

The other TS cue on her website CHALKERS has been there for over 2-1/2 years with the same price on it and I'd rather buy that then the titleist thats for the $2000 same price but IMO I'd rather have the TS-TWJ cue http://www.chalkers.com/id409.htm


here's my old for sale on the jacoby cue I had here that I put up on ebay

anything available in limited quantity can become a collectable. The titleist itself is a collectable in not even used condition. Paired with the high quality Scruggs workmanship, makes it even more collectable. The harder an item is to come by, the more the price goes up. Frankly I think this cue is underpriced.

Would you rather buy a Mustang souped up by Roush in very limited quantities or a mustange souped up by a lesser known individual who does them often?
Obviously the Roush Mustang would sell for more due to the huge name he has made for himself and the limited quantities that are produced.

I am certainly not trying to take away anything from Jacoby, I am purely trying to make a point.

Collectability is reflected in the price.

I just bought a cue from Martyne. I'm sure she'll work out a good deal for you.

That Hoppe Pro is the kind you want to collect. The ones with the ivory ring in the butt are a lot harder to find than the plain butt later style. They all have cracks in the ring but they seem to hold together anyway. I have a couple of those - that's not a bad price considering the originality and condition.

Sorry, that Hoppe Pro is no longer for sale. I had a bid in on it before parismango had even posted about it. :D

Almost everything you've heard about 'this or that' means it's a Rambow, is probably a myth.

But that's a nice cue at a fair price. This thread probably helped the seller of that Scruggs more than any advertising he could have paid for.

And I agree that the Titlist conversion is a beauty at a fair price. If you were only going to own one Titlist conversion, this would be as good as any.
 
i have a TS Titleist conversion cue ... it's got a small joint (less than .800) and I thought it would be whippy but it's NOT. It plays lights out and fairly stiff.
