Can anyone tell me what model this Meucci is and what would be a fair price to sell it for? Butt is pristine, long-ferrule shaft is chalk-stained but smooth. Thanks very much.

Well, what history do you have on this cue, or did it appear out of nowhere? I assume that you did not buy it, or it was a yard sale find and you know nothing about cues, an inheritance, perhaps? Any how, it appears somewhat like a possibly 95 or 97 series Meucci, some here may know the exact model number or name. That is 1995 / 1997 series; unless you know what era the cue is actually originated from?
As to value, if it is acceptably straight ( this can be subjective, everyone seems to have their own cue straightness definition) - does each section roll perfectly flat on a perfectly flat surface- does it sight straight when assembled, etc. etc. --- probably a range of $250 to $400 on the high end. Ask $400 or so - see what offers you receive.

Thanks very much. It didn't appear out of nowhere but was left to me by a close pool buddy who passed away. I know a fair amount about cues and have a few. I just don't use this one and am thinking I might as well sell it.

You should do what suits you, but if I inherited a cue from a close friend who passed, it would be worth every penny of the $250 to keep.
Yes, even a Meucci.

Unless you are flat busted, that is.

YMMV

Don't disagree with you, but he left me a number of cues that I treasure. Great guy.

Cue regret can occur for no good reason at all. Even with multiples, this sounds like good reason. I find that re-gifting such items to deserving folks is much more satisfying than selling. Someone always seems to need a cue and karma goes way further than $300.

Is there an image of the Meucci logo? Apparently the older ones with the cue-in-text image commands more than the models with the big M's.

I got a set of cues from a friend that died young, and I made sure that what I really did not care about keeping went to another friend that I know would keep it and treasure it almost as much as I would have. Selling is OK if not needed, but I would not want to have some random guy 3 states over end up with it. I "sold" the cue to a friend, and gave the money I got for it to his widow.
