pistolero said:I'm not saying that it should be valued like an Ed Young. The work is not as clean as other well known makers. However in the blue book It has Cantando and Youngs Level 5 cues at about $2000 and Burgoyne at $900.
If this was made by a known maker like young it would be valued at least $4000, why not at least $1500 for burgoyne?
Thank you for the explanation.jayman said:Its a nice cue...but....
The workmanship would have to be a lot better for that kind of $$. for example from the photos;
the points are very uneven,and dont look super sharp. There could be other issues with a closer look?
Top cuemakers would not have let that out of the shop based soley on that.Thus the price difference.
Don't rely to heavily on the blue book for pricing. It is VERY flawed at times.
just my opinion.
Jayman.
very well said. I use the bluebook for picture refrence only. I disreguard every number in the book.masonh said:if you can get Level 5 Ed Youngs and Art Cantanodos for under $2000,i will buy everyone of them.
i don't know much about the cuemaker,but i think $900 would be a real tough sale.the Blue Book is basically useless for judging most cue's values.

I enjoy the bashing considering those that are bashing know nothing about Robert. All hand inlaid, hand made cues. Each of the cuemakers he's compared to are using pantographs and cnc machines. I'll say this for his cues, they hit like a dream - both the Uni-lock and the 5/16-14. I have 56 cues from Black Boar to Action and I've got a $100 bill says you can't tell which have a Uni-lock joint by the hit, just saying.
