You have to post pics to be taken seriously.
I just ran into an old guy at a bar and we started talking about cues. He pulls out 5 McDermott's, 2 80's schon's, a 2 point Perry Weston, a Duane Schragger?, and his 2 SW's from 1996 that he ordered in the mid 90's. The SW's he said had never been chalked. He was trying to find out what all of his cues would be worth individually. I am just trying to find a reasonable price to tell him.
Curious....
1996 is a critical year, because Jerry Franklin died in May of 1996. A Franklin cue of that timeframe would be of greater value than one somewhat later in the year. I must say that I am curious, though, because you said all paperwork (to verify authenticity?) is available, but all Southwest cues after 1993 were marked with the trademark cactus logo and serial number on the pin. If the cues are numbered, what numbers are they?

PDX,
here's a starting pointfor the unchalked SWs....imo a solid $1800 and $2500 to ANY BUYER. the paperwork will be very nice for a collector/buyer, and it wouldn't surpise me if that warranted another 100-200 per cue. if you had the box, too, add some more $$$. if you have good feedback as an eBay user and given the wide market that would be seeing these cues, it wouldn't surprise me if they would bring another hundred or two more on top of those #s above....or maybe consign through a dealer. given the fact that these both sound like fairly plain cues, doubt there would be much of a premium if they were delivered prior to May 1996....maybe another hundred or two.
the rest of the cues you have descibed could be anywhere from a few to several hundred $ (McDermotts), $500-$1500 for the Schons, $700 P.Weston, and $1000-?? for the Schrager (if it's a Bert Schrager).
hope this helps.
I did not remember the first three #'s on the pin. The paperwork is from the cues being directly sent to him from SW. He said he ordered them and received them 3 years later. He may or may not have the original box, I don't know. Thank you for the help everyone. I just wanted some other peoples point of view. The prices cueaddicts stated are exactly what I had told him, minus the extra money for earlier 96 and accessories.
