I just bought this cue and wanted to know what everyone thought. I am not selling cue just tryin to get an idea of what it's worth so let me know how much you guys think its worth. It has 2 shafts with matching rings. I believe its 18.5 ounces it needs work the joint has a small crack in it and the butt is obviously needs to be redone. so in the shape its in what would you guys pay for it.

thats a sexy buttsleeve u got there. anyone that slams their cue around like that...wow. gotta wonder about the integrity of the rest of the cue. i wouldnt invest into it. u should send it to tim for repair and refinish. the $300 or so u will spend will be worth it. maybe 800$ to 1000$ but i would have to have it in person to make sure its ok everywhere else
 
looks like it has been banged around pretty hard.might want to check for buzzes.as long as the cue is sound inside as in no buzzes or warpage from the abuse(i would want to hear it from TIM himself) and the shafts are both full,i would give $1500.if the joint and butt cap are ivory you could get it repaired for around $500,but not by Tim.i am not familiar with Tims' cues or pricing but i am sure he would charge closer to $1000 if it is ivory.my price of $1500 may be off a little too as i said i am not very good with Srcuggs.i figure if the cue were in mint condition it would bring $2500 though.

I agree, without a full blown inspection it's hard to give a value, but if you decide to keep it I would suggest you send it to Tim and Mike to have the cue refinished. You will be able to re coop the few extra dollars you spend if a potential buyer knows the Scruggs shop did the re finish i.e., the TS logo on the butt cap jmo.... By the way great looking cue too bad it was abused.....
 
Temper....Temper!!!

My guess is that repair/refinish /inspect w/be closer to $500 once shipping and misc is added. Nice cue though. If interested in selling before cue is sent out...PM me.

Have a great 4th everyone.

Nice cue. However i would only send it to Scruggs to have them repair it. They are awesome and not only will it keep its value but you will know it was fixed by,in my opinion, one of the best in the world. Scuggs cues are awesome and you wont be disappointed. My 2 cents.
 
I know I like it

I had it looked over by a very good friend of mine that knows what he is talking about when it comes to cues. I trust his opinion I would only send this cue to Tim himself I wouldn't waste my time with anyone else I got a good deal on the cue shafts are in good shape but one need a tip no big deal.

sending cue to Tim would cost around $600 to have everything done. I priced the cue competed around $3K I dunno if I am right but I fell in love with it the day I picked it up. so completed would people pay $3K I dunno. Don't think I would sell it anyway.
 
From the pics you have there it looks like a 6 pointer with some great looking veneer work, the lime green veneer is exquisit! Great looking maple too. I really like the look of that cue a lot. I send stuff to Tim and Mike on a fairly regular basis and every refinish job I have had done has been PERFECT!!! I just had a cue sent back a few days ago that had a joint replacement, new butt cap, new handle, and some ivory added where previous ivory had been. The cue looks like it just was made yesterday, no lies. My guess at the repair job would be around $550-650, but could swing slightly higher because of the ivory joint, I really don't know. I think your cue, assuming everything else is ok, would surely be worth the cost of the repair job.

Here's some pics of the cue I had fixed up...

I wouldn't worry about it. Once you get it back after getting fixed up it will surely be worth more than what you prolly paid for it. At least it will look like a million bucks, that you can be sure of.
 
Dats nice

Six points $2100.00 new. Add 18 inlays and 3 fancy rings and a ivory joint.
Yup it is a pricy cue. Depending on how the cue was sold and when It may have been or would be today over $3,000.00. But collectors usuall only want mid 90,s cues or better and some higher end guys like pristine and new cues only. Even if you refinish the cue and have Timi relogo the cue you might have a hard time getting $2700.00.
Looks like a good cue to keep. Fixing the butt cap will always help in a resale if you are thinking along those lines I may be interested!
The cue is a keeper!
Nick :)
 
take a closer look

I see a 24 inlay and fancy ringwork in all 5 positions, six point veneered cue with ivory joint. If you choose to have this cue reworked by Tim and Mike, add a black leather wrap. Then see what Tim would get for this cue new from his shop, I think your looking at closer to 3800.00 gentlemen
 
Might cost $3800 retail from a dealer and that is a maybe,but he is asking what it would bring in the secondary market.No way does it bring $3800,sorry.I would say $2500,and the joint and butt must not be ivory,b/c there is no way Tim Scruggs only charges $600 for a new ivory joint,ivory butt capp and a refinish.

I have to agree with Mason on this one...BTW, that is a very nice cue...love the veneers, but it will cost a bit to get repaired. To me, it looks like
$300 (refinishw/linen) + $260 (Iv Jount) + $450 (Iv butt cap) = $1060

Dealer price yes, I agree. Secondary market is a competely different story these days. That being said, 2700.00 + or - would be a fair asking price.:)
 
i dont think the buttcap is ivory.. looks like that imitation ivory that they like to use.. Mike Cochran told me that its really hard to tell the difference..

Cue

the butt cap is not Ivory the joint is thanks for all your help guys. Cue is not for sale and when its finished its not for sale I love the way this cue looks I'll post pics when it refinished by Tim's shop. This cue I will hold on to for awhile so maybe in like 5 years you'll see it for sale or maybe even longer!
