you said that pretty fast. i figure the value of what im giving up to be around $550. whats the scruggs sneakie worth?
generally... a bit more than 550
Ask not what the Scruggs is worth but what are your cues worth to you.
If this offer never came up were you happy with your cues? Follow your gut feeling and you will be happy.
Scruggs has not made sneaky peats for some time. This makes them collectable. A collectable is worth whatever the market will bare. If you have tried the Scruggs and like it then make the deal. You should try the cue before doing the deal.
You can always be the Poison cues again if you change your mind later.

Probably not - and you won't regret having it look like new, believe me.
I would just check the shaft thickness to make sure it's not worn out. They play great - I have a couple. I haven't checked prices in awhile, but it sounds like a fair trade. Look at it this way, your other stuff will be worth $300 in 10 years if you can even sell it and the Scruggs will probably be worth $700 and people will be fighting to buy it.

what they said!
i would JUMP on it!! that being said, i would still JUMP ON IT.i regret not getting the only one offered for sale locally(long gone now). as one poster said the production cues you listed are still being sold, inventoried, wholesaled(is that a bona fide word?) and produced today, tomorrow and yesterday. the tim scruggs sneaky aren't being made anymore, just being sold, hoarded and flipped.

I can't say I totally agree. Scruggs sneakys are top notch, but a sneaky is a sneaky, so I suspect it's value would increase minimally simply because it is plain. I tend to agree with TheBook's opinion. Don't trade away something if you like it.
this is just not true.
that little 'ts' burned into the forearm means you can't just go to walmart and buy a new one. there are a limited number and no more are being made. this is the very definition of 'collectible'. plus, i would guess the ts outplays anything you can buy off the shelf new. having owned two of them, i might know.
i guess my (1 of 10) omega/dpk sneaky is just a sneaky too...you, sir, are uninformed.

Figure what it's worth today and what it will be worth in a couple of years.
When you say "increase in value" it's like you're equating it with a high end custom built by a name cuemaker. "Value" in cue collecting is reserved for the high end cues. Sneakys may RETAIN value, but value increase is not a reason people buy sneakys. Unlike high end cues, sneakys are bought to play with, which is not always the case with high end cues.

Scruggs sneakies DO increase in value. A couple of years ago, you could pick one up in the $300-375 range and now, even in a down market, you're looking somewhere between $400-700. Percentage wise, this increase is higher than lots of "high end" cues. If you think that sneakies won't increase in value, try buying a Schick, Prewitt, or Cantando , etc. You'll be shocked...

if even you have to have it refinished if there are no major damages to the cue and its not in absolutely horrible condition you are talking about trading production equipment for a cue that is more of a rare find, jump head first into it and rebuy the stuff you have now later it will still be for sale.
