billiardsforum on 1/27/2019 4:13:01 AMThese Meucci "hook" cues sell for around $200-$500 in perfect condition on the secondary market.
To verify this value, we can look at recent sales of hook cues. Here is one from Pennsylvania from about a month ago. It sold for $200.
You may do better, but it just depends on who's looking at the time. Yours also has blemishes on the Meucci logo. This will reduce the value a bit.

Whom ever gave you the $200 quote on value is either trying to scam you or has no idea what they are talking about.
Do your own research, these cues are worth $500 - $1200 based on condition and some subtle differences in the wraps and the shaft dimensions.

Thanks for the feedback!
Nobody gave me the $200 quote. It's from actual historical eBay and classified sales data. In general, if the cue is posted on eBay (as an auction), it'll earn exactly what the cue is worth at that time.
Upon reflection, I agree, $200 is a little low by today's standards. $500 makes sense as an upper limit for a used Meucci M-9 cue, but $1200 is out of the question. I've revised the pricing in my original answer.
Yes, there are older version of this Meucci "hook" cue design—the Meucci Originals MS-2 cue—which do command a higher price and have the "Meucci Originals" logo.
The Meucci M-9 cue shown in the original question, with the newer "Meucci" logo, is a newer release of that design and doesn't command nearly as much.
I find that with newer Meucci cue models (with the "Meucci" logo) the demand is a bit lower than with the older models with the "Meucci Originals" logo. Also, the prices that the newer ones sell for tends to fluctuate more depending on who is looking and who is selling at any given time.
I also agree with you in your advice to @user1548573734 that they should do continued research.

Wow. That Meucci M-9 cue looks just like my old pool cue which I sold around 25 years ago.
I'd love to have it back now. LOL. It had the same black wrap as the one in the original question above.
I loved that cue and should never have sold it.

I have that cue in my possession now. The logo is the Meucci Originals logo, and the cue was bought from Bob Meucci himself for my dad before it was ever a catalog item. Mine is red not black and was a custom early release in in 1987.
I live in Memphis, TN. The Meucci family lived just south in Mississippi. My family was introduced to the Meucci family in the 1980s. Mom bought it for dad as a prototype for Christmas in the late 1980s.
It will never be sold to anyone so I don’t care if it’s valued at one dollar.
I would like to find a couple of new shafts with the red stripe. They have been very difficult to find.

@user1682661194 - I would LOVE to see clear, well-lit photos of that prototype Meucci M9 cue.
For a replacement shaft, you might be better off having Meucci make you one to match.
I still have the same Meucci "hook" cue stick from before it was cataloged. As I mentioned above, it belonged to my dad and was a gift to him from my mother.
