Runde Schon R10!

OK, so I am putting this cue away. No longer for sale.

Am I the only Schon lover out here? Seriously, why wouldn't a mid 1980's all Ebony Runde Schon get any takers at $700.???? I thought it was a deal??

It is a deal. I thnk money is tight in a lot of areas right now and with all of the options that are out there people are weighing many cues before pulling the trigger on one. I love old Schons and have a R13 and an R6. The construction of these cues are top notch and should command a higher tag than they do. Too many cues flooding the market are killing the price of these old beauties, IMO. I saw a R15 go on eBay a few weeks ago for 1000 and I couldn't believe it. I have been offered well more than that for my R13 and wouldn't sell it. Hold on to your cue for a while and when (if) the market returns you will get what the cue is worth. I wish you well.
 
Yep, there's an insane amount of wood out there. Been observing that for a few years now. $700 is/was a great deal for this cue.

And I thought 650 for a ivory inlayed mid 80's joss was a good deal too....might have even of gone 600.

Cue market has so many builders these days, and not enough players that its hard to sell anything.
 
Cue Market

I am a collector not a dealer so I really don't have a feel for the market. It sounds like, from the recents post in this thread, that there is just more supply than demand. Many choices for a player to chose from.

Still, to me a cue that is a classic would always have a market. JossWest, Szamboti, Old Palmers... the list goes on and on. To me, the early to mid 1980 Schons are in that leauge of a "Classic Cue" that should always command some demand.
 
just wondering if you were intrested in selling your r12? the firtst one from the left. pm me a price if intrested thanks...
 
I have never heard of any Schon cue that has a marking saying Runde on it - anywhere.
As for the weight: all I know that today's Schon's weight cannot be changed - if I am not mistaken they are glued in. However, I am interested whether it is the same with Runde era Schons also.

Anyways: I am interested in this cue very much and I am not scared of its weight either. I have an STL-4 right now with the weight at 19.75 oz and it is a monster player with a 4.45 oz shaft with ivory ferrule.
Anyways, I am looking to sell it and get something from 700 upwards to $1,000... and it is very, very true that the market is flooded with cues right now - and most of them are good cues IMO!

I will get either a Nitti, a Black or a Runde Schon (R-10 - I fell in love with yours and I have not seen any available recently that is all the way ebony - or an R-12).

Sorry for the long post and I hope your cue will find a great new home for itself real soon, it is a true beauty that scarcely comes by.

I have removed weight bolts from several old Schons. This R10 was sold long ago. Sorry for not updating the thread.

This Schon lover is a retired guy without a lot of money laying around. Guess I'll keep my stl 7. Those are some great looking cues though, I especially like the third from the left, r-9. The beauty of these Schons is they don't just look great, they play great. Just ask Van Boening.
 
Schon?

Hello,
What is the model right in the middle? and what kind of price range does this cue fall in? I really like the looks of that cue!
Thanks,
Nathan
 
FYI Schon "R" series also known as runde era cues will have maple dash rings at the joint made from 82-85 silver rings are not R series (1st catalog)

That is an R6, Your standard 4 point, 4 veneer cue. Prices vary, I have not seen one sell in a while.

Bob Runde was still there making cues in 86,87,88 with silver rings. Same cues as the 1st catalog just silver rings. The Runde era did not end in 85, you're just saying that silver rings are not 1st catalog. Correct?

Thanks I guess I just prefer the simple classic look then, I guess now that I think about it that is me! Have not sold due to them being rare in the market or just not being sold? You mentioned prices vary can you generalize a rough idea? Say you were going to sell that cue and looking for top dollar. Just looking for an idea on prices.
Thnaks!

I just have not seen many come up for sale, although I don't watch Ebay as close as I once did. I have not seen an R6 offered here on AZ in a very long time.
I hate to speak of what a cue is worth, the market is so wierd. I've seen R6's go for anywhere from $650 - $1000, it would take much more than that to get me to sell mine. But, I beleive mine may be a Szamboti blank, which would change things a bit. Vey hard, if not impossible to prove though.


Thanks,
Bill
 
Schon

Thanks again for the info very useful. I'm just trying to get ideas on different cues which appeal to me and rough ideas on prices. I would like to buy a custom at some point which I really enjoy but at a price that I'm not nervious to shoot with it out side of the house. So when cues which catch my eye come up I ask questions. I understand the market is up, down, and sideways so thank you for just giving your opinion that helps!

Always great to look at your colection ...

I think the R-12's / R-8's are my favorite in this line of Cue's in the near future I'm going to pick one up if I see one come on the market the R-13's through R-16's are sharp too ... As you know I just got rid of my R-11 that I had for 20 plus years and purchased it brand new I seen it's price more then double... I feel a void in my life already...lol... But I do have a very very nice Schon coming ... I'll always own at least one Shoen I love the cues they make ... I also have a Custom being built that should be ready end of May / start of June ... But most definatly plan on picking up a R-12 or R-8 if at all possible ...

I agree these cues are definatly undervalued right now and they play wonderful... I had no idea what I bought in 83/84 when I got the R-11 the price I paid for it would shock some of you when you see the price they are going for today...

Hersheybarbilli you seem to know alot about these older Schons have you seen many of the R-8's around or for sale ? I know the R-12 is not to uncommon to find...

They are fairly rare. All the Old Schon's are getting to be. Oh, and no worries with the Cue Addicts guys, they are good, and honest.
