Hello, I like your work, however, how come your cues are selling so cheap on Ebay? The craftsmanship, and the designs are real nice, the reason I ask is because one of my customers brought one in the other day for a new tip, and when he told me what it cost I could not believe it.
Thanks for your response in advance, and have a good day!!!!!
Manwon , Thanks a lot for the kind words,well on my cues i don't know y they don't sell ,some of my cues have sold for less then it cost to make them,when i first started building cues i could not make them fast enough,i sold all i could make at a fair price on ebay, at the time that's all there was for selling cues,so i though if i sold them at a fair price ,players could make some money on my cues someday if they sold them,well how wrong was i ,ebay has bit me in the NUTS,Hey there are a lot of great cue maker out there,so i have to be thankful i have made it this long,if it wasn't for ebay i would have been gone a long time ago,i have not sold 1 cue on AZB.People are selling my cues on ebay now so cheap that i can't even sell my own cues on there,G.S.Cues is dead as of now,i haven't sold a cue for 2 months,and this is all i do for a living,some people say my cues have to much in them ,i can make almost any cue out there,i just don't like to copy other cues and builders out there,not my Style ..............Maybe most players just don't like my Style,it can't be the price,i put more Ivory in my cues then anybody out there for the money and they play well,for example the 2 cues on here are only selling for 450.00 and all white is Ivory.I have been giving my cues away and it is time i went out and found a Job,i am done giving my work away,maybe if it works out you will see my cues at some shows,i am going to work with Dealers once i finish up the rest of my cues i have been working on,but for now i am hunting for a good paying job.

Hello Greg, thank you very much for your response to my question. I am certain it was not easy for you. I own a Pool Hall with a Billiards Retail Section, and a Pro-shop with a Cue Repair / Cue building section. If you want to talk off line send me a PM with your phone number and I will give you a call.
Thanks Again and good luck with your sales, the cues are nice and they are certainly worth more than what you are asking.
Nice cues
wish you had answered my messages a few months ago about building a cue, would have liked to have had one at the time.
Wish you luck in your future cuemaking, and hope you get to keep doing it as your profession. Your designs are unique and interesting.

I'm more of a classic spliced cue fan, but those 2 pictured cues look very nice. That $450 asking price is also unbelieveable, especially given all that ivory. Perhaps people are hesitant to buy because the deal sounds too good to be true?
Either way, I wish you the best and hope that things get better.

I'm very sorry to hear all that. I've just turned 18 but for almost all the time (when I'm at school and sometimes when I'm home - that rarely happens beyond sleeping...) I've been drawing cues into my notebooks - and those cues had (or at least were meant to have) the same Style that you have. I love both cues, they look great - no doubt about it.
In my opinion if you managed to get a well-paying job then you could start selling your cues for much more - because it wouldn't matter that much how many do you sell. If you asked at least $750 for a cue I believe that there would be more chance that someone would take it. It sounds weird I know, but people always seem to show more trust for things that are priced higher.
What is more: your cues do deserve a higher price because they have >a lot of work< put into them and what is even better: you can see all that work when looking at the result.
