Identify Green Logo Mali Cue
I am trying to identify this green-logo Mali pool cue.
Any idea of model or value? What was the quality of this cue?
Also, the shaft is slightly warped. Is there a compatible replacement shaft?

It is probably a Mali T-11 cue from the Mali Trophy Cues series (circa 1980s I think).
Mali T-11 Cue
Ebony four-prong and Natural Birdseye Maple Stainless steel joint with stainless steel pin and brass shaft insert. Stitch decoration at joint. Black-fleck-on-white IRISH LINEN wrap.
Might be worth in the $200 to $260 range depending on a number of factors.
I am not certain about the proper shaft, but not having an original shaft pretty much kills any premium value from a collector's perspective.

Thanks so much!
Any thoughts on the quality of this cue when new?
I am thinking of replacing the whole thing as the slight warp in the shaft is getting in my head!
Also, where does one sell a cue like this? Are there really collectors for Mali cues? Where I could be expected to get a good price?

They are generally considered fairly good quality playing cues. I like them.
To sell the cue, you have a few options:
- Classified Sites - Folks are always watching classified sites like eBay, Craigslist, Letgo, etc. for good deals on cues.
- Facebook (either general cue collector's groups or groups specific to Mali cues)
- Cue Sports Forums - post the cue for sale with photos, good descriptions, and pricing and shipping details, to sites like this one (in the Pool Cues for Sale area) and AZ Billiards, etc.
- Try selling it locally at your favorite pool halls or within your pool league, etc.
