Value of a "Barry L. Moore" Cue
Can anyone identify this custom cue and give me an estimate on how much it is worth?
It is signed "Barry L. Moore" on the forearm.

From his website, which is no longer online:
Barry L. Moore is a custom pool cue maker located in Anderson, SC.
Barry's passion for cue making and striving to create the perfect cues is not an understatement. Tediously honing his craft for the benefit of the players game is Barry's style. From exotic woods, ornate and intricate inlays, minimum deflection and all other aspects of cue making. Barry truly loves what he does and it shows in each and every one of his custom pool cues.
I can't make out the date of completion as there is glare in the photo. 2004 or 2009?
I'd put the value at around $200 give or take. There isn't a huge market for them and there are enough available for sale at any given time which keeps the prices reasonable. Most likely someone would buy it to use as a playing cue. Also, there is only a small subset of the pool playing population who would even know who this cue maker is, making it even more difficult to find a buyer at a higher price.
There are lots of recent sales of these cues on various classified sites out there so you can do your research. Recently, a lot of two Barry Moore custom cues (each with two shafts) sold for $400...
Yours appears to only have one matching shaft.
