Dear All I just got this cue from a friend of mine and have no idea what's worth.
Richard Black with Ivory diamonds and ferrules+2 full 13mm shafts free of dings and blemishes.
20 oz
1275 shipped and checked the inlays and it's ivory.
Any help would be apreciated!

Depends. Are the points even, and does it click when you hit with it? :D I think $1100-1300, a little less than midway between a hoppe style (800-900) and Bushka model (1500-1700) second hand.
 
Hey guys (and gals) I was just wondering where these prices come from. Are they what the cues are selling for right now, or are they from a blue book of some kind?
 
I consider the prices cues have sold for recently, plus my personal preferences. The Blue Book is a good information guide, bit as I have said to many people on many different occasions, the Blue Book never bought a cue. Some of the pricing is about right, some are very low, and some are very high. You can't take the pricing part of the book very seriously. One clear example in my mind is the pricing for older McDermotts. I don't think, personally, that you can get anywhere near the 98% pricing if you have one of their cues for sale. Most sell for the 70% or a little lower prices for pristine cues. Another example is the Brunswick section, particularly the Hoppe cues. A new one piece Hoppe doesn't bring nearly what they say.
 
Yup!

The even points will bring more Vass. I don't see lots of Blacks with even points. But I mostly see old ones!

I Think You'd Be Pulling Teeth To Get 1200. 1000 Is Where I Think It Would Need To Be Priced For A Moderately Quick Sale. If The Inlayts Aren't Ivory, That Would Be Weird...i Owned Alot Of Richards Cues, But Never Had One Where The White Inlays Weren't Ivory.

The figure that popped into my head after looking at the cue was $1k. Then I added $235 because I don't know WTF I'm talking about.

Make sure you add the WFT amount if you ever buy a cue from me :D
