This is plain idiocy. Yet it will sell. Asian collectors have tons of money.

Yeah it's a lot of $$$ for a cue that has some history of getting roll with age.

Crazy price .... Plenty of suckers willing to go stupid for a piece of wood

 

[JABSolstice]

Wow!

Wonder what that costs today from SW if you are on the list and that's what you select?

That was my question. It’s such a big secret.
They won’t tell you how much until your name comes up. I got in line in 2009 and I expect a call soon. When I got on the list a cue like that was $2,600.

I'll take that spot off you hands if you get in a pinch.

I agree, Laurie is great. Very approachable and willing to chat.
Tell me then. If she called you tomorrow and told you it was your turn, what would she need for that cue?

My 2006 order is near ready, so your 2009 is about 4-5 years away

Such good news. I'll only be 81 years young.

And they were all over priced

And they were all over priced

How?
They gained more value since.

I placed my order for my new Southwest just a few months ago, after waiting 17 years on list. I used ebony and cocobola woods 3 veneers, joint protectors, etc. It was about as much as you can add without ordering additional shafts. My order was close to $7K. I paid 1/2 of the price to get it started, with the balance due when the cue is complete.

Hope this helps.

Nice ... Seems like a fair price for the opportunity to roll a ball across a table

I think i posted this cue not too long ago. I'm suprised that it hasn't sold yet with all the bull shit hype on these cues. I'm not going to be one of these idiots that get on a 20 year waiting list. For the price of that cue I'm picking up a Szamboti a cue I know that will retain it's value.
