    Ask Jim on that one, it'd be worth what someone is willing to pay!

      Gordon's auction price guide is useful . . .

      I dream of a 147 (but would be happy with a 100)

        Very true, I'm very tempted to start collecting myself and get some cue racks put on the wall, though i need to learn more about what cues to add investment wise.
        Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning...

          A great place to start is to buy Gordon Radford's auction price guide, you don't want to know how many of those "highest prices paid" are cues I own! (mainly from buy it nows - before I knew any better). It's only £20, and it would have saved me at least a grand I reckon in cues I bought for say £400, which generally sell for £250 etc.

          There's potentially a version 2 coming soon I think, I'm not sure what he's going to price that at, but it'll be an invaluable source of collectors, and anyone selling a cue.

            Thing is tho, prices only go as high as people are willing to pay, so not really a true indication of their worth ???
            Ie cue may be worth £200, but you havn't got one yet and end up in a bidding war and pay £300, still really only worth £200 ???? or is it now worth £300 ??? lol
            Buy it now's i think are usually priced higher than they really would take, if dealt with direct to avoid the fees, if i see i cue i really want i always ask for a deal

              It's more a case of "last price seen syndrome" - e.g. you've seen a cue sell for £250, to that type of cue is worth £250 - whereas the average price for that cue might be £100. I think most sellers are definitely suffering from either last price syndrome, or highest price syndrome.

                Thanks for that... I've got that bookmarked for when i start collecting which will be very soon. I'm sure it's easy to get carried away at the start but as time goes on... i assume you should become more wise

                  You still need to look out for fakes and be careful late at night when you think "I just must have that cue" . . .

                    That's what worries me especially after a few jars of nectar

                    Sorry Jim i took this a bit off topic, good luck in your search...

                      A few jars can add a hundred to the price (maybe more) . . .

                              my mistake, it was a Riley Perfect cue (LOL)

                              would love to get either one of these cues

                                I have seen the professional before but the perfect cue is totally new to me. as for price guides they only tell half a story, as perpetualboredom said it is worth what somebody is willing to pay!
