Cue valuation needed

[ADR147]

How much did you get for the old paragon that you got from george31 Andrew ? although that was a couple of years ago so prices have dropped some what.

i got 400 for that one but they have gone up since i sold one recently for 650 another for 550 and have another for sale at 650

[jrc750]

i think 550 is about right and sell the extensions separately for 50

I like the way you value this cue at £550, when on your pdf your plain ebony Paragon is £695 + postage lol
How does that work then ???

well several reasons.

1) the one I have is a little gem
2) I paid £550 for it and that is why I would value it at about that.
3) Chinese folk enjoy arguing about the prices
4) Every cue I sell I guarantee to be authentic and every cue is sold in perfect order by a reliable trader, any refurbishment costs etc are covered by me.
5) it is my job, I would very quickly go broke if I bought it for £550 and then sold it £550 wouldn't I.

So are you saying your prices are negotiable ???
Lots of people do not like haggling, and will just skip past a cue because it seems too dear, if they knew then maybe you would sell more
In my view better off giving fair price and tell the cheeky buggers to "do one"

within reason everything is always negotiable

selling is not the hard bit.

an interesting view - however you are wrong~! feel free to do one!

10 years ago you would have been right however you are now wrong - 95% of the cues i sell now go in batches to HK and china to people who are also dealers, believe me they like to haggle! most people who are going to buy a cue in the uk will actually know me or ring me up and chat about it.

Wow is that right ADR , I knew snooker was big in Asia , but 95 % is a bit of a shock! they must also be making a profit so there must be some money floating around over there! is the market still growing ?

i can't say if it is growing or not but for sure most cues now go to asia and very few elsewhere.

there are a few people in the uk with maybe 1000 cues plus.
