Schon cue archive

I have an older Schon I believe to be a r5 from the sp line. Maple forum, 4 panto points with 3 diffrent colored veneers, and ebony butt. I havent sent pics to Schon yet but I am pretty sure I am wright on this one.

Thanks
Hanky
 
I have what looks to be an SP 31 (1990). It's slightly different then the one in the picture.. The points go all the way down to the wrap, much like the SP 49, but with the SP 31 design..

What do you figure it's worth?

I am not an expert on Schon pricing but I'll guess. If it has the pantographed points, I would say about $600. They are worth more as players than collectors. The ones with sharp spliced points and sharp inlays are worth a few hundred more. The fancier "R" catalog cues bring in pretty good money.

Schon prices, in general, are about the same as a mid- range custom.

I'd have a hard time parting with it for 600.00.. I figured it was worth more then that, but then again I wasn't 100% sure what it was worth at all so who knows.. LOL I'm pretty happy with it as a cue all things being =. Pretty rare I find one I like that plays better.

Hi DJ,

Well, it certainly shouldn't change your perception of Schon, because they really are fine players cues.

What keeps the values down are the sheer number of Schon cues that have been made and sold for a very long time, and the fact that there are a lot of wholesalers and discounters on new models. These cues are readily available and I don't expect the supply to go away in the near future.

The best way to determine cash resale value is to keep an eye on E-Bay auctions, and when you see ones with comparable complexity to yours, that will tell you approximately the cash auction value.

I don't know if this will work, but I ran a search on E-Bay of recently completed Schon auctions, and here's what I came up with. Look at the ones with the green that actualy sold:

You will see there were some really fancy Schins that got over $1000 and an R-12 that did well, but the most of the usual Schons were in the $500 - $700 range.

Interesting.. Thanks for the links Chris! :) I went home last night and looked at the points on my cue again just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. They are in fact "floating" like the picture in the archive. I was kinda taken back by the fact that I didn't even remember what my cue looked like just off memory.. LOL

DJ <--- gotta stop drinking so much
