Elephant Ivory Tusks was formed as a division of Cue Components to further promote the public awareness of legal pre-ban ivory.

We are located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. We can be reached between the hours of 9am and 5pm eastern Monday thru Friday and sometimes on the weekends at 386-424-0300. We do not purchase carved Ivory statues or Ivory jewelry so please no phone calls about these items. Thank you.

We are a financially strong company and promote only legal pre-ban ivory which has been imported into the USA prior to the 1989 ban.

If you have small or large pre ban (June 1989) Elephant Ivory Tusk or Tusks for sale, feel free to contact us if you have an asking price already in mind. We do not make offers. Shop around, get your best offer, then contact us last. We are serious buyers and we don't look to play games. When you have a price in mind and you're ready to sell, contact us. Thank you.

Appraisals are $175 for those of you who need to know the wholesale or retail value for insurance losses and/or purposes.


Attorney's Read Here, then go away...

If you are an attorney representing yourself or an estate, please read on.

In our vast experience through the years, we cannot and will not do business with you 'on your terms'. You are wasting your time and more importantly, you're wasting our time. Your time is worth something, well guess what, so is ours. Advice is not free. When you start giving away your knowledge and services, then we'll offer you the same courtesy. Until then, call elsewhere and waste someone else's time.

Additionally, your clear distrust of your clientele and perhaps even fellow attorney's, is merely a reflection upon the manner in which you believe business should be conducted. To work within the parameters that you feel comfortable with, the transaction will never occur. Business in the real world is just not conducted that way. You may know all the legal mumbo-jumbo out there but you are not nor will you ever be a businessman. The business world is entirely different than your 'profession'. What a sad comentary of the legal profession that attorney's don't even trust themselves or each other.

We follow the 'Golden Rule'. He who has the gold, makes the rules. We are the buyers. We are the people with the cash. You want our cash, then we set the rules. We agree on a price, the tusks are shipped to us, you deliver them or they are shipped to someone of your choosing in our area. When the tusks arrive at our location, payment will transfer. Until then, no payment will be made. So, if you want top dollar, then work within these parameters. If you cannot, please and we implore you to take your "business" elsewhere. We do not, nor will we jump through any hoops you set. It's that clear and simple.

It doesn't get any simpler: the tusk(s) are shipped, personally delivered; whatever. We receive them as per agreement. You include documentation that we provide. Upon receipt, a check is overnighted. That's how simple this is. We don't want to complicate it nor is there any need to. If you cannot follow this plan, find someone else who likes to complicate their lives.

Are you an attorney in Florida? If so, we may consider working with you since we're in the same state and there is more likely an opportunity for the transaction to occur. Feel free to contact us. If you feel insulted from this writing, then feel free to move on.

Do we have a poor attitude? No, not at all. We just prefer to deal with the other 99% of the American population who don't distrust their fellow citizens and where business can be conducted on a pleasurable basis. Trying to make a deal happen with an attorney just takes all the fun out of this business for us. And quite frankly, we are the largest buyers out there for preban ivory and can do and live quite nicely without the added aggravation and ivory that you offer. So, in conclusion simply lose our contact info as we do not desire to do business with you.

Now, we feel better and we hope you do too. Think about all the time we just saved each other.

Thank you.
The Real Facts

We are strong proponents regarding the protection of wildlife and in particular, the elephant. We only purchase old, well documented estate ivory from within the United States. This is ivory that was brought into the USA before the ban in June, 1989. We are legally allowed to trade in this ivory and this is the ivory we purchase and resell. We abide by all United States Federal and State laws. We are always in compliance with Federal and State laws as well as C.I.T.E.S. Treaty as it was established.

All our ivory is old, pre-ban and legally imported into the USA prior to the ban being imposed in 1989. By maintaining close working relationships with local state and federal authorities, we are assured that our work does not harm current existing wildlife populations; namely the elephant. The elephant is making a remarkable comeback throughout Africa as has been documented in recent times.

It is impossible to import newer ivory into the USA as U.S. FWS (Fish & Wildlife Service) and ICE (Imigration & Customs Enforcement) as well as Homeland Security are on the job preventing any such activity. It is impossible for anyone to purchase anything other than legal pre ban ivory. We don't know of any recent cases of smuggling ivory into the USA. This shows just how successful the ban and USA laws are. We work closely with FWS and ICE.

We are the leading market makers in the USA for pre-ban ivory. No one buys more or pays more than we do. There are so-called "museums" which are nothing more than a farce established to confuse and mislead the public. They are no more a museum than you are. These Amish area "museums" are in fact resellers of ivory just as others are. Do not be misled into believing that your ivory is being sold to a museum and being preserved for generations to come. They purchase the ivory and cut it up for parts just as many other craftsman do. This "museum" or sometimes they refer to themselves as a "tusk conservatory" is, once again set-up just to mislead you into believing that they're preserving the tusks. They're a business just like others and they're purchasing the tusks to resell. Do not be misled.

We pay more than anyone and are the leading buyers in the USA for pre-ban ivory tusks and partials. We pay from $60 up to $150 per pound (all solid sections; no hollow for $150 per pound) for tusks and partials. DO NOT contact us first. Shop around, get your best offers and then call us last for quick pick-up and an overnight check. We're here to deal. We're not looking to play pricing games. Get your best offer then call us when you're ready to actually deal.

WE DO NOT PURCHASE IVORY STATUES OR JEWELRY SO PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US ABOUT THESE ITEMS.
