You Need To Offer Some Information
Your query is way too open-ended and the chances are your response rate will be pretty poor. You want a cue and so you either have some idea what you're looking for or otherwise have a budget limit, i.e., maximum, to spend. Are there any cue-makers that appeal to you which you can afford. I love Ed Prewitt cues & Ginacues but the prices for the cues I want are just too steep for me. Are there any cue-makers that interest you?
You don't post your true maximum amount but it doesn't matter on the Forum. Sellers will post what they'd like to get. Buyers will contact sellers and invariably always offer less for the cue in question citing the poor resale market etc. , that is unless the cue happens to be one that the buyer wants very badly. You'll either reach a middle ground with a seller quickly or go your mutual separate ways. But don't expect sellers with $3000 cues to approach you with offers or sellers of $1500 cues or sellers of $500 cues. I mean why would any seller bother contacting you when there's every chance you may not be able to afford to buy their cue.
However, when you add a description of what you'd like to have in a cue, assuming you have something in mind, it really helps. But always mention how much your budget is or what you'd like to spend. It doesn't matter how much but when you include this information the response rate will be noticeably higher than what it otherwise would be. You see this issue on the Forum's threads all the time where buyers want sellers to include in their sale thread a price for the cue instead of saying PM me for a price. So as far as sellers go, it works both ways in that sellers want to know how much a buyer will spend for a cue because everyone has a budget limit. If the buyer(s) claim they don't, there isn't one, either consider it bullshit or you came across that rare individual that says "I'm so GD rich, money doesn't matter.". Those type individuals may actually exist but I've never met one and frankly, hope I never do.
