He's right on!!

The after-market for Dayton's cue is very weak, especially now. He makes one heck of a great cue, and this one looks sweet (except for that gangster wrap), but for $1200-1600 I can get, oh, say a Mottey/White/Scruggs - each of which has a much better resale.

Dayton is kinda like Capone in that sense - really great work and one heck of a players cue, but never command much in the secondary market.

I am NOT NOT NOT knocking this cue - it looks great. But over 1000 is gonna be tough in today's market.

Hope you get it and them some, but you'd probably get better value through a trade.

May we know the specs please, and are you just sending out a feeler, or selling now ? If so, do you care to name a price ? I'm a Dayton fan, and I assume that's an ebony forend. Is it a phenolic joint ? Radial pin ? Ivory ferrules ? Let me know...Tom

2 things...

1). Yes, Gilberts are superior in resale value to Daytons (at least right now).

2). Tpdtom is a REAL serious buyer if you have something he likes...:D

Prolly $950 more, give or take a few hundred. That's a real nice looking cue imo. Guessing the points are stained/stabilized wildwood (spalted maple maybe). Are the tips of those lower points covered up by the ring or is that an illusion in the picture? In general, the Gilberts are hotter on the secondary market; they seem to their value closer to retail. But a lot of that though is the same as with any cue....depends on the design, woods, condition, etc.

You are dead on about the material - that is spalted maple wildwood in the points.

Just an FYI on this thread - I am thinking of having Paul build me a copy of the cue pictured, and I wanted to get a feel for retail in case the doesn't hit like I want (need) it too.

Here is the description of the original from Paul's website:

"Six high/low Double-Veneered Points of red acrylic resin impregnated spalted tiger maple are spliced into a maple-colored ebony front. The butt is a mirror image of the front and A,B,C,D and E rings are ivory stitching and red spalted maple. this cue came with 2 ivory ferruled shafts and matching joint protectors."

Paul builds a real nice cue and they have a nice solid hit imo. Overall price may be a little on the high side since it's wildwood (that stuff is expensive). In the past, we have purchased some of it and had some cuemakers use it to build cues. The cost of the material may be upwards of $100-$150 per 1.5x1.5x18 stick, depending on the base wood and type of color impregnation they've done. Have seen some of it as high at $200. Would guess the spalt is around $100-$125. Beautiful stuff !!
 
While, the colors in the cue might limit the number of potential buyers, it looks like a well made cue. I like Paul Dayton's work and I beleive his star is on the rise! Paul has a great supply of woods/ shaftwood and he is constantly working to raise the level of his craft. There is sharing of knowledge and synergy among the better South Florida cuemakers. Although all have been long respected, I think the best is yet to come for Dayton, Ohman, Manzino, and Searing (sorry if I left anyone out).

No love for Rick Howard and Arnot?:D
 
I edited with the disclaimer before you posted;) ...there are other respected cuemakers in South Florida but I'm not sure they network regularly with the guys I mentioned. I've never handled or seen an Arnot cue in person. I've like what I've seen in Rick Howard's cues.
