I shoot with a ebony/holly 6 pointer, about $800 worth, though it would take more than that for me to part with it.
 
$$$ Cues...

My primary playing cue is a Schon LTD 916; #11 of 12, paid $740, (thx Erik), worth $1100. I also have a Meucci Original Gambler, paid $375 + Black Dot Shaft $180, worth probably $800+.
 
My cues range from 70.00 to 2000.00 and I play with them all as the spirit moves me even if it is bad for my game to switch cues. I voted for a range kind of in between all that. However I keep coming back to my Webb and my Tucker and am currently using my Webb. I was using my Madison Bob quite a bit, but at pool school RandyG had me move my grip hand further back and the extremely forward weighted (20.5 inches) MB no longer felt quite right.
I'll always come home to my Webb and/or Tucker, they are both very fine cues. You'd be surprised however, how good that $70.00 Dufferin plays (is it collectable now, hmmmm?).

$300 for plainest-Jane Falcon they have. I don't care for elaborate designs or the costs associated with them. It has a beautiful gun-metal grey stain on the butt and plays sooooo well. I love it!

That is your best picture so far.

Check out mine, we're a match made in heaven!

Oh yeah, back on topic.
2 cues worth a total of $1000.
 
Surprised

To see all the Cues being Played with that are Valued in excess of 2K ;)
 
Have a mid 90's Joss Sneaky Pete, paid $175 for it back then do not know if it is worth $50 dollars now or $500 It just keeps hangin' around. Have a Ray Schuler it's probably like $600 - $700 with the extra shafts. The cue I only play with now is a BCM, value to me priceless, retail like $900. My wife also plays with a four point purpleheart BCM, value $700

Your poll brings up another interesting question. I wonder what percentage of these are custom or production over the $500 price tag.

Beatiful Szamboti Erik! What a pretty cue!

I shoot with a Schon LTD 642, (Thanks also Erik), with a Predator 314 shaft, and also a Balabushka shaft (Thanks Roscoe). It also has two custom 12 inch extensions that can screw into the butt and make it 24 inches longer. They are stained to match the forearm of my cue and also have silver rings at the joints like my Schon. Cue is worth around 1200 I been told, original shaft has never been shot with even. The extensions were over 300 and the Bushka shaft is worth a few bills I am sure.

I would guesstimate I could get over 1k for it altogether.

Jim start a New Poll to answer that Question....
 
I'm impressed.

I make $100K+ and wouldn't think of taking a $2K+ cue out to play with.

My player and breaker at the moment is a Viking F108 with a 314 and the stock shaft modified to a phenoloic tip/ferrule for breaking.

I make $150K+ and will only play with a $2K+ cue...
 
Current Playing Cue- Paul Mottey $3400.00
Jump/Break Cue- Andy Gilbert $400.00
 
I play with a Southwest thats probably worth about $1800-$2000. I rotate all the cues in my small collection, average price of the cues are about $1400 or so.

Can't go that high, Erik... sorry
