It's a nice cue. I believe Richard made this cue as a sort of "catalog cue" type deal. He would make the cues for the poolrooms (Dilworth Billiards in this case), and the poolrooms would later sell them to customers at retail. It's so hard to assign value to anything. For me personally, I wouldn't pay more than say $2300 depending on the shaft diameters and over all condition of the cue. If it's got skinny shafts I personally wouldn't go over $1800.
