runde Schon

[cuenut]

I haven't seen the actual cue yet,but I have a buddy who supposedly just picked up a nice spliced point Schon with a "Schon 13" shaft. He says that the cue has 5 points, no veneers, with MOP diamond inlays in the points and inlays in the butt. I don't have my bluebook with me, but I recall an early Schon with 5 points in the book, but don't remember it having inlays. can anyone help me out on price? I am out of town for the rest of the week. Value?? I think I can pick it up for around $1000, maybe a little less. Anybody in the market for something in this price range? He states that it has never been played, and was supposedly in a billiard store "lost in inventory" (he works at the billiard store).

think that shaft puts it as a 1993 cue...though it might have been 1998. Something Mr. Clarke did because fake shafts were showing up, and the year after started marking schon on the shafts themselves.

I'd say no more than 800 unless perhaps the points are all sharp. Cue should be worth more, but it isn't. Schons play great, just don't have a huge resale. Rarely go down in value, but don't really go up much either.
