Nice collection, and Bill makes a hell of a cue..... but my only question is this....
Why does he usually not deviate from his standard 6-8 or so designs? Don't you think that this is the reason that he cannot get the dollar amount that he should for his work?

Answers to questions
To answer your question generally a 4 point cue isn't considered to be of the same value as say a 6 or 8 point cue. I believe that Bill thinks the he makes a much higher level cue than just a basic 4 point veneer. That may be part of his reasoning. Bill will make whatever you want. He can do just about anything. If you don't believe me just send him a picture of what you want done and I will bet he will do it. It's not like he cannot make one. In the past he use to make several of them. I just think he views the 6 and 8 pointers to be higher end cues and thats what he enjoys making. For example, if you got Paul Mottey or Ginacue to make a 4 point veneered cue the price will generally range from 1,500-2,000 dollars. If you asked them to make a 6-8 point cue with inlay work then you are looking at probably 3,000 to 5,000 dollars. Also, on another note Bill's costs have went up about 25 percent. So if you are looking to get a cue from him it won't be cheap. I think that the value of his cues is definately going up. Higher prices means higher resale value!!!
Also, to answer the question about the box cue. I believe it retails for around 1,800.
Thanks!
