Why are SE (South East) cues so rarely available for sale?

I wonder why SE cues (that were made by Nat Green out of Clarksville TN) are so rarely available for sale online?

I know they are not worth much on the used market, but they are really great playing cues, in my opinion.

Have any of you guys seen them around lately in your local pool hall?

Just curious if they are really that rare, or maybe they are never for sale because they are worth more to the owners then the owners are aware about how much they can get out of them?

Thanks for any thoughts about why they are so rarely seen or available for sale.

I do not know, but maybe he was not able to sell all that many of his cues, and maybe Nat Green ran out of business.
 
The Telegraphing of Feel/ SE cues

I own and play with a South East Cue. Its a great cue for a player. Mine was built for Frank Tullos to his specs another great player. I've tried playing with another cue I have a really expensive Pechauer with Ivory joint and ferrules but the South East has made its way into my game in ways that I would sell it but it would take a lot of money to get it. Immediately after I sold it I would have to have shafts built before I would have the cue built if that makes sense. The shafts with my cue are perfect tight grained maple and I don't let anyone touch them except to install a tip. I did put a juma ferrule on one a long time ago, it plays great but takes on chalk for some reason.

Ive a friend who plays exceptionally well and he used the cue for awhile when I was playing with a Schon and during that time his position getting skills were the best they've ever been and he built himself a cue very similar.

I think the cue telegraphs feel in a way that is exceptional.

Yeah, his cues are amazing players, in my opinion. Really great feel and hit. Unable to describe the hit and feel, but to me, it was amazing. I had more confidence when shooting with the SE cue that I had then any other cue that I ever played with. I am not sure if a certain type of feel and hit can be copied , and even if it could, I would not know how to explain to the cue maker about the type of feel and hit that I loved in the SE cue that I had. By the way, it was the highest end cue, from his line of cues, on his website. I really regret selling it. Was offered a price that was hard to refuse at the time.

That is very deep Justin, I'm proud of you.

Availability and rarity can be lumped together but they can also be very different.
For instance look at all the books that are out of print because they sucked
 
Justin, do you have ANY Frickin' idea how many nonsensical threads YOU
have going on the 1st Page alone ? Please STOP, and Get Help ......... PLEASE !!!
 
I'm trying to figure out if he is a pool player, a cue flipper, or just flipped out.

If he is a pool player, he needs to buy a cue, learn to play with it and quit worrying about a better one.

If he is a cue flipper, he is a piss poor one.

If he is just flipped out, then I guess he has nothing better to do than come here and ask questions over and over.

There are no dumb questions, however there are a lot of inquisitive morons.

I assume that you are saying that SE cues suck? Can you tell me some other cue makers cues that suck, but are rarely available for sale? I am curious what it is about SE cues that you think sucks? Were they poorly made cues? Was the quality not that good? I am just curious what all sucks about them, in your opinion? I know the name is kind of silly, but were they really that bad (quality wise)? I also understand that some of their designs were unattractive, and they were made using CNC I assume (because none of the inlays were sharp). Any other reason why they suck?
