Jason Owen Cue 042 for sale

You used the term "defective" so if i may, you would in your opinion presume the following

1. Maple Standard - No marks?

2. Ash Standard - Evenly spaced chevrons?

However as we would know that these are for asthetics purposes only but do not determine the playability of the shaft/cue

So the "toffee" in question would not mean that it is an defective cue or else or else all maples with mark or ash with uneven chevrons would be deemed "defective"?

Guys I think you got the Wrong end of the stick here!

I am not suggesting Jason selling them for £50-£200 etc all I was saying my Opinion and Opinion of Many Others I know would be why Pay £300-£400 for a Jason Owen Cue who does make a Nice Looking Cue but as we all know isnt Broken Thru yet as we say when you could Buy a Trevor White or John Parris or Wooldridge etc who are the Top Names in Cue making at Present thats all I was saying.

Jason Good Luck with your Sales m8 but £300 for a Defect Cue in My Eyes way too Expensive sorry but thats my Opinion and many others I know also.

Gaz.

Leaving opinions to the side for a second, the facts are as follows from my own personal experience:

- I paid £290 for a plain ebony Trevor White 1 piece cue.
- I paid £450 for a plain ebony Mike Wooldridge 1 piece cue.
- I ordered a plain ebony John Parris Special 1 piece cue, price £427.40.
- I was quoted £375 by Trevor White for a 1 piece cue with 4 lower splices and thick maple veneers.

So in my personal experience, it would not be possible to get a similar cue + mini butt from any of these manufacturers for £300. The closest would be Trevor with John and Mike more expensive.

The other advantage this cue has is that it's ready to go. Any of the other manufacturers would involve a significant waiting time of anything up to a year.

Closing with my opinion, I personally think £300 is a bargain.

Good luck with your cues Jason.

Sorry I should rephase that its Not Defective but has a Toffee Mark which would Put alot of People Off Including Myself and does effect the Real Price of the Cue.

If Trevor or John ever comes across a Cue that isnt 100% Perfect then they do sell these Cues alot Cheaper thats why I mentioned Trevor & John and Yes Both these Guys can Make you a Perfect Cue £300-£400 and the Badge on the Cues speak for themselves.

Again incorrect, the real price of anything on the planet, is what someone is prepared to pay for it. Jason asked £300 and got it , whether you think that is fair and reasonable is your opinion and nothing more.

Another thing, if you can get a cue like that of Mike Wooldridge for £300, do me a favour and buy two, because I'll have one of them

You wont get one like that from Mike as mike wouldnt sell a Cue with a Imperfection i wouldnt have thought unless he knocks alot off and tells his customer there is a Imperfection like Trevor and John Would and sell it with a Imperfection.

I am not trying to start a Arguement but there arent Many people in my Opinion and many other Opinions where Cues are worth over £300-£400 unless it has been made by one of the Top Cue Makers Trevor White, John Parris, Mike Wooldridge, etc.

I cannot beleive the way people are talking here as if Jason is a Top Cue Maker and been Making Cues for many years and is very well known etc which he isnt "Fact".

Jason Owen Cues with a "IMPERFECTION" is Crazy Money at £300+ most people never Heard of him Unless they are on Here!

You just don't get it do you...

Forget about the cues, it is relevant to any product, if you have a customer willing to meet the asking price, then the product is worth it.

This is not a debate about the merits of how good his cues are, I have no idea how good they are, I have no doubt you would know a cue better than I, but all this is immaterial.

If a product sells, it is not expensive, it may be a lot of money, but they are two entirely different things.

Who Offers £250 for Trevor White Cues!

[poolqjunkie]

I dont know if Jason's cues are good or bad as I have never seen one so I cannot comment.

What I know is he asked if anyone wants to buy his cue in this thread. He was not asking how much his cue is worth.

The cue is already sold.

My question is: is it really necessary to attack/insult him publicly in a thread he started to sell his cue simply because you feel that it is too expensive for you?

May be it is better to do this via PM or just keep your opinion to yourself, what do you think?

If the name means so much, a lot of people have never heard of Trevor White or Mike Wooldridge either. Does that mean they should only buy John Parris cues?

A real cue connossieur will look at the quality of a cue, not a name, to determine how much he is willing to pay. I have never seen Jason's work personally so I cannot comment on his price. But my opinion is really not relevent as long as his customers are happy with the cue and the price.

This is just my opinion. I am not looking for an agrument either.

[jykl2119]

Twice he has asked for £230 and twice they sold for £300. To me thats what they are worth. Plain and simple

[Izzyfcuk]

Beauty in the eye of the beholder...

If i was never on this board..i probably never heard of TW, MW, Coutts etc and many others

The value of an "Item" is determined by the buyer, not seller and never will be.

If we take an example of the following...Hunt/Obryne, Will Hunt, Parris ultimate...

their "retail" price vs what HK/CN people are will to pay, cos they can afford to, that's what drive the prices up and what that particular piece of cue is worth to them. Doesn't help that their economy is vastly blooming and the amount of self made millionaire probably exceeds the total no of millionaire self per year compared to the rest of the world.

GAZ's opinion is in the context of established cue maker with track record vs not yet established cue maker.

However in this SALE thread, the above context cannot be applied as it is an generic FOR SALE item (finished handmade cue) without any waiting time.

Not looking to take a dig at GAZ nor asking for trouble,

Just speaking my...opinion..
