ye olde ash cue

[JasonOwen]

there is another second edition on - not sure if its real or not though! - my guess is craigs will do 200 - 300 in fact craig to try and keep up my record after my spot on JD guess i will try £235!!

Well I would guess Craigs 2nd Ed Ye Olde Ash goes for £320. I must say tho, I have been playing "guess the end price of old cues on ebay" with ADR147 or quite a few years now and he is generally spot on so im not placing any money on it.

Hi Jason

Nice to see you on here, how much do you think the other one will go for?

Im thinking of putting my two roberts cue on aswel, as im stopping collecting cues and am selling my small collection of cues.

I would guess and its only a guess that the other one is a Tony Ions. Its hard to say without holding. Still makes a very desirable cue, it would be a brilliant player and I do believe that Tony Ions replicas will have there own value in years to come. Its worth about 150-180 if its a replica and alot more if its real but there is a doubt. Tony would want 300 quid to make one if you ordered today so its agood value either way.

i will give you £300 for that first editioin ye olde ash craig.

there is always the odd one that throws us all off though eh jason, like the JD cue yesterday! its a 50-70 cue anything more is just silly.

craigs cue has now hit 330, and 6 days to go.

wonder if it will go over 400

[ADR147]

its too much. these are not that rare i sold two last year for £200 each - world has gone mad!

[mattyshinobi22]

got any pics of them mate?

[JasonOwen]

Who is the highest bidder? Its so annoying now ebay has hidden the highest bidder id. Always nice to know who is spending money.

[JasonOwen]

got any pics of them mate?

I have a couple of disks full of pics of cues including a few 2nd ed Ye Olde ash cues and a beutifull 1st ed Ye olde. The disks contain abour 4-8 pics of cues I have owned, about 150 cues so nearly 1000 pics. Also got a disk with detailed pics of most of Gordon Radfords collection (breath taking!).
Usually knock the disks out for £8 incl postage if anyones interested.

[mattyshinobi22]

bit pricey for me, but would be interested

[cueman]

Have to agree with ADR, even a 1st edition shouldn't go for much more than that IMO.

I think that you can be very lucky or unlucky with selling cues on Ebay. If Craig hadn't got a good reputation as a seller, like me for instance (not that I have a bad reputation I just haven't used Ebay much), he'd be lucky to get over £230 for it. As he has bought and sold a few cues in the past his reputation means that most people believe anything you write in a description. I think putting RARE in the heading has probably raised this cue £150+ above its realistic value.

When you look at Jack Douglas listing for his black plate Robert Osbourne cue, a much better quality cue BTW, is only standing at £240 with a few hours to go, it makes you wonder if cue collectors are mad. That is easily worth £350+ with the case and extention.

BTW Craig, I'm not having a go at you in anyway.

ye olde ash.

first editions are very rare. you are paying big money for the rarity value and not neccesarily the quality of the cue. i have a second edition that i bought for my fiancee to play pool with, its a good cue but i have many far superior quality wise.

[mattyshinobi22]

heard going rate for a 1st ed is close to 2 grand, how gud does your ye olde ash play like gloveman?

[gloveman]

ye olde ash.

hi matty. its not really long enough for me to play with. its 56.5 inches which is ideal for er indoors. its only 9mm so is more suited to pool. it is in good condition and 100% genuine cos the guy i got it off has had 5 before including a first edition which he let go for £400 last year. that was sold a week later for £600 and a week or so after that for £1000. people will pay for rare items!
