SW SALES

Doesn’t really take near as long to get most Rolex models, but maybe a SS Daytona could get up to multiple years, if ever. But that’s a pretty different scenario since each “list” is managed by the individual ADs.

There are some similar-ish waits in other hobbies that involve custom built products. I once waited 10 years for a custom pocket knife from Reese Bose. Recently waited almost 6 years for a King of Tone guitar pedal. Pretty sure there are some custom knife and guitar builders that have long waits today. SW is one of the longest I’ve heard of though.

I’m coming up on 10 years on the SW list now. Around the 8.5 year mark I was offered a Satin to tide me over (I had noted that I was interest in one with them), so that was nice and finally gave me the chance to try a SW cue. No clue how much longer it’ll be until I get to place my order but that’s okay, not like it cost me any money to get on the list.

What's the value of the spot when it comes up?
 
Circa 2000...

A local room owner bought 2 or 3 direct from SW to resell as a dealer. Sold one to his house-man for I think 900.

Circa 2003...
Said house-man decided to quit pool and only play 3 cushion. I said I'd give him 1100 for his SW. He took it on the spot. 2 weeks later I sold it on ebay for I think either 1400 or 1700, I can't remember.

That's my SW experience.
 
It is not a question of whether or not you can sell it. The question is whether or not SW will accept and honor your transfer. But even if it does not, there are many ways to skin a cat. If SW opposes "spot sales", and you think you might want to, and SW has no prohibition on sales to legal entities, the best practice would be to get on the list in the name of a legal entity.

How does SW handle death? Do they require probate? Judicial determination of heirs?

I mean you could just order whatever someone else wanted. Just agree to a surcharge. A finder's fee, if you will.
Retainerrrr!!!
