Custom Cues' PRICING

[JasonOwen]

I dont see the problem, Airin has a shop now on his site that will surely have basic cue prices? Parris has the cue builder which will give you immediate cue prices? Mike W has cues in his web shop that have prices against them with alteration prices to get the custom cue you would want.
Dont get the secrecy thing.

Yep, I have no problem with listing my prices.
Although please understand that my pricing will be a little different to others as I am still building up experience and confidence and so as I feel my quality is improving and the more established I get then the prices will go up fairly rapidly to fall in line with my peers.
Also the below price is for as good a shaft to your requirements that I can get. Meaning I can offer 4-6 arrows or 6-8 arrows but cant get into "4 arrows evenly spaced with the first arrow 14mm from the ferrule" type stuff.

1 Piece ash shaft with a hand spliced butt and a single front splice/veneer, made to your spec - £230.

Thats cool. I don't blame you about the 4 arrows even....... That stuff is such b.s its not funny. I was just using the specs for my cue as an example as I know they are pretty standard (except weight for a 1 pc I think), and thought this would be a good indicator as plenty of people use this design of cue (1 face splice). Out of curiosity, I assume the price would increase depending on what face splice you are using. as a rough example, say the spindle for rosewood was £5 (arguement sake) and snakewood was £40, I assume your price would be higher for obvious reasons for a snakewood splice than a rosewood?

The cues you have made so far have improved each time, so I understand your price increasing accordingly. When are the the next few going to be ready? Not seen any on fb for a while....

[JasonOwen]

I finished 3 about 2 weeks ago.
The next 6 are being made for a far east dealer. The first of which will be ready end of next week.

I am pretty much doing any front splice for that price. Snakewood is a bit different as its so expensive.
Maple shafts will be another factor as Ive taken 4 down so far and they have all had blemishes in that I wouldnt consider using.

Cant make'em quick enough eh Jason!

Which edition of Blue Book do you have?
The prices in mine are very outdated, and cannot really be used as an accurate reference I am afraid.

They were going to do that but lots of things happened with the lady who was supposed to take some photos and then gave them to Brad...it was taking forever and I have no idea what is going on now. I thought they must have got someone else to do it and have it done by now already.LOL.

Airin, is there a reason why you wouldn't publish your prices here?

Airin, is there a reason why you wouldn't publish your prices here?

Unlike you I do not publish here every cue I have made as I am not looking for cue orders on this forum.
I have no problem with those who do, but I like to keep the cue business side private.
If someone is interested in a cue they can email to ask me.
Why you asking? Do you have a problem with how I like to run my own business?

Mine is the 2nd edition. Prices are all wrong and outdated.
They change a lot you know. For example, a Southwest used to be much cheaper than they are now. On the other hand, some cue makers are now lowering their prices due to the recession or they tend to produce more lower end cues to fit those on a budget. In my opinion, the blue book is not an accurate means to gauge cue prices, but is a useful tool if you want to know the history and background of various cue makers.

[SchinnerC]

So, we have an approval and a disapproval from our cue makers. And yeah, I do agree that they have the right to decide if they want to show their price or not (especially cue makers who are active here). How about cue makers who don't an account here and are without a clear website?

I know i may be pushing

Airin, Calm down, I wasn't accusing or prying, just simply asking if there are reasons why you didn't feel it right to publish your prices. Just thought I may be missing something or being a little business naive. Nothing sinister, apologies if I've offended you which is a shame if I have.

Where are your cues made?

Where are the materials from? IE are they china ash or imported north american ash etc.

Lol i'm guessing China, seeing as that's where he posts from, and he says wood is from North America ??
