If it were a $50 cue the money aspect would be irrelevant. But since it is a fairly costly purchase one has to keep an eye on the money aspect. That is why I know the value of things.

If #1& 2 are affirmative buy it.
Tabs, Southwest Cues are made right there in Vegas. You could swing by and order one...be prepared to wait approx. 13 years for it. They have a good reputation as both a playing and a collecting cue. If you're willing to wait the time, you can sell it for a good markup. Many do.

Would I buy one? Nope...I'm quite happy with the way my Keith Josey made cue plays. I'm not of the collector or flipper mindset...but since you are, you might want to begin your education.

South West... the ones that got away

I made my post (shoulda been in green) because I feel the same way about spoons and other objects that some are passionate about...that collectors and flippers live in a shady world and they're welcome to it.

My philosophy is that I buy stuff I like and want to use. The money aspect doesn't enter into it for me as much as it seems to for you.
