I think the link is out of date

https://www.parriscues.com/products/...t/paragon_cue/

as it also says it must be designed on the cuebuilder. When you do this, it starts at £660, not £462.

Anyone else finding it hard to edit a post ? When I try, it shows an empty message box, rather than what I've typed previously.

. . and yet if I google Paragon cue, it does indeed go to a link that says the paragon starts at £462.

Very strange.

I don't know that much about Parris cues but is it not overpriced at £550 anyway? Parris website says Paragon starts at £462 for plain ebony, OK this has a case and extension but both look to be pretty cheap basic ones. Is there that long a wait for a Paragon?

The Parris site I looked on only showed Paragon in the design your own section, which comes out at £660 for plain ebony Paragon.

He needs to take it to a good cue maker and get it serviced. It possibly needs a new ferrule and a refinish. He also needs to ask the cue maker to give the exact tip diameter, weight, length and maybe the butt size. He'd easily get the cost back on the sale price.


Maybe someone should message him to give him some advice.

He doesn't seem to have much clue of the specs which won't help when selling an expensive cue. He can't weigh it, 32.5mm is a very large butt size and 8mm is a small pool spec tip. A cue with a knackered ferrule which makes it look like it hasn't been well looked after, a big butt, small tip and an unknown weight, and all for only £550!! How can you expect someone to hand over that kind of money for a cue you cant even be bother to weight, it could be anything, 16oz or 22oz, you can surely borrow a scales or buy one for a few quid from any supermarket

In the state it's in you hope to get them cheap, transform them very easily and easy profit etc, but he wants top price for a an obviously un loved cue

Good point, it's gotta have enough headroom in the money to make it worth while.

I love getting my hands on cues like that as it takes very little effort to transform it! Shame.

Why would anyone put a Parris cue for sale looking like that.
All it would take is 5 minutes work and it’s as good as new.

He needs to get that cue sorted out or it will never sell
