Is that too much for a starting price of bidding.

[billabong]

None of the cues I own are at a price point that reflects my standard of play.

Then again, I'm 52 now, and don't really aspire to knock in a 100 break any time soon.

That said, I work hard, and pool / snooker is what I like to do in my leisure time, so why not spend some of

my hard earned on nice cues ?

Lots of classic cars are owned by people who can't drive them at 9 tenths , but who love them nonetheless.

I could not agree more £500 quid cue, £250 Real Leather Harlequin multi -colour case, Custom T Shirt with Snooker Emblem, A block of real Kamui Chalk £19, Plus a custom chalk holder (Engraved) and he still cant knock in a descent break ! Think I would rather spend my cash on some coaching and make do with my modest but well playable cue, but I guess its only human nature to let the green eye of envy creep in now and again.

Maybe you are just tight

[j6uk]

Agreed a £100 cue to a half decent player is no different to a 700 quid one, the only difference is you can say look at my expensive cue, I've got a quality shaft you haven't
It's all about being in with the crowd imo

ive had a go with some of the top cues but give me a 16oz ten quid racka and after a bit of tlc and a new tip i'm away

Em……gentlemen sorry disturbing you all, but did anyone think the cue is a genuine black plate as I may give the seller an offer, and how much should I offer him, thank you so much.

Hmm strangely enough you said on another thread if you won the lottery the first thing you would buy would be a Mike Wooldridge cue !! so basically you are just jealous and would have expensive kit if you could afford it ehh

Well it is collection only, so probably a waste of time for you

Is it only collectors who would pay this sort of money for a cue ? My thinking is that you could pay less than a £100 quid for a cue and still win the World Championship its not the cue its the person using it, how many of us have been whitewashed by a guy using a cheap machine spliced (I have) he had just got it from Cash Converters on the way to the club I was gutted.

you're right about that one !!!. usually the collectors are interested in these cues.
btw, Is true. If you're a good player, you do'nt need a expensive cue. But that does not mean that a good player can not play with an expensive cue. !!
I know people who pay 2000 pounds for an expensive camera to watch birds.!!!!
Or pay £ 2000 for two weeks of vacation. There are people who do'nt go to vacation, and spend that money for a cue.
Everyone must decide for himself what he / she does with his money.is a free country !!!!!

Is there a big market in your country for expensive cues?

wish it was!! but no, it is'nt.
Everyone wants a good quality cue for a low price.
I think in China re moor potntieel customers for this kind of things !!!
Not sure. !!!!!

My uncle is a collector.!!!! . he paid two years ago 760 GBP for a H & O cue ( from 80's ). I'm not in cue bisns , but I think the price is reasonable.!!!!

yes mate, if he's going to sell the cue in this price , it's just a start bidding price for now, will go up if someone placed a bid. By the way, have to make sure it's genuine. Yes JRC , I can send someone to pick up the cue or try to negotiate with the seller , thanks for your advise .
