Searing Cue for Sale

Man, I am starting to feel bad about getting good deals.....:sorry:
Well I do have to say I'm calling you out on this... At first I thought you had some great stuff, but then it all of the sudden appears to change by the day. Either you have 100+ cues and every toy under the sun (which I highly doubt) or your a keyboard commando.

I have 4 Farris cues...and Yes, Eddie makes a GREAT shaft..i have a Tad, Schick, 2 SW, Searing, Omen, Gilbert..Scruggs, Black Boar, Black.....I think the Farris is one of the best shafts (to me) out of all the cues I own..

Nice looking JW for sure....I love my OLD JW..its a great player:thumbup:

Man, I feel really lucky now. I bought 2 Searings from a guy in Brentwood Cali 2350.00 cheaper than this 1 Searing.

of our new home that is just about finished. Its right at 3100sq ft and the game room has a new Diamond 9' and a Diamond 7' table.

I currently have 14 older Schons and they play great. Matter of fact, one Schon I have has Ivory Ferruls and an Ivory joint...It

This was just in the past week alone, and I really don't feel like digging through your posts any more since azb is running so slow, but I have to ask you - where are some pics of these cues along with your 7 new titlist cues?

You claim also to be a skydiver, which I don't see how - you're really a tad large to be jumping. I'd like to see some pics of at least 10 of the 30+ cues you've claimed to own in the past week. Also throw in your BDU top with your Ranger Tab and Scroll.

I have to say the reason I'm bringing this up now is you seem to put a LOT of different pictures in your photobucket, only the cue photos in there are of a Joss sneaky, a plain jane Omen, an older abused Meucci, and a photo of some Sugartrees that aren't yours....

I'm calling BS on your and everything you've claimed until you can back up your "possessions"...

Im proud of this picture....
Good, I'm glad you are. It's an enlightening story, but I was sent to Aco 2/7 1st Cav fresh out of Basic/AIT. About 6mo afterwards we had the EIB test as well. I, along with probably another 20 out of 70ish in our CO, recieved the EIB.

I'm just saying, I'd like to see some validation to your claims, because there are a LOT of people who don't believe a letter you type.... I'm not the only to notice.

edit: it was longer than 6mo after because I was an E3 when I got it as well and I got that (I believe) at 17mo in service

2rgrbn, did you ever get a chance to meet CSM Purdy? Man, he could make you shake in your boots just when he talked to you!!
Yes I knew SGM Purdy he gives an interesting talk in Phase 1 of school rumor is he has been in 2 near ambushes.

The scroll only means that he is assigned to a Battalion and served as an operational Ranger. You can go to Ranger school w/o serving in an active Ranger Battalion before or after. Simply endure 62 days of hell and your good. This would of course only make you a "tab Ranger" as some might say.

Further to that if you leave the Battalion on another post you don't lose your tab so you could have a tab and no scroll as you would have your new unit patch under your tab.

So the scroll only tells you that someone is actively assigned to a battalion.

EDIT: Call people out on cues if you feel the need but, the personal attacks i.e. show me you were a "whatever" is kind of ... lame, and beyond the scope of this thread.

And yes, I thought I walked into a gold mine on the titlist cues...I spoke and posted before I actually knew what was what...turned out to be alot of junk...not worth anything at all...I believe I posted that also someowhere on here.
And no, the Sugartree cues are not mine..never said they were.

And yes, there is alot of different picture in my photobucket. Did you see that picture of that old Junk welder..now there was a find..lol

And all of the cues I have are from when I played pool before, not anything I have aquired now. I bought alot of cues when I was just playing pool back in 1993-94..I bought ALOT! And me, some things I just dont let go of.

Really about the only cues I have bought since I got back into pool, which was June of 2008, I think I have bought maybe close to 30 cues, like the beat up Meucci cues you seen in my photobucket...That I think I actually sold on here if i remember right...Id have to look..The Omen, I just sold for 500.00

I used to skydive, been a long time ago though, I about broke my back and cant do it anymore and with the passing of my daughter July 7 2008, I have gained an ungodly amount of weight. The depression is pretty much what has caused me to gain all this weight.

Should I start posting pics of all the toys we have? R/C cars, trucks, our 4 wheelers, my fishing boat..so on

And just so you know where and how we bought 150 acres of land and are building a new house on it...if you MUST know..when my daughter passed, we had insurance on her..we have insurance on me, my wife and my son...never thought I would have to make a claim on it, and honestly, I would give everything I own back in a heartbeat just to have my little girl with me again. And if you think I am bull shitting you about that, you can just look here and read for yourself.

And if that isnt enough, I can post the 7500.00 reciept I paid in full with cash to the Hospital for when my daughter passed, and the 1200.00 ambulance ride from where she drown to the hospital, the 4100.00 cash i paid to the funeral home, and the 3700.00 headstone I paid in cash to Kelly monument.

So thats 16,500.00 cash out of my pocket...and by that, I mean going to the bank and withdrawing out of my savings from my disability. Not alot of people could do that....but I guess I am lying about that as well.

I pretty much regret posting anything about myself or what I have on here...everything I have said is true I have no reason to lie. If you dont believe me, thats your choice.

You can call BS all you want, that is your right. I for one, dont have to prove anything at all to you.

I know all of the above, but I recall him saying in the past (I think when he was questioned last) that he was assigned to a Ranger Batt. Based upon his story, he should have something with a tab over a scroll, no?

Either way, I'm more interested to see this elaborate collection of his...

yes the scroll just means you are assigned to Batt, not meaning you are "tabbed"
 
ftgokie said:

Not what I said... A tab can be obtained without ever being active in a Batt. Making you tabbed, a scroll alone i.e. assigned to a Batt as you are not E4P or E5 and unable to go to school yet. Then a tab and scroll means actively assigned and operating.

A captain who gets to go to Ranger school to get "ranger qualified" is "tabbed".

I was responding to him that you would only still have a scroll if you were actively in a battalion, as such you could have operated as a Ranger for years and still not have a scroll as you are maybe working in S3 now getting papercuts.
 
Sorry Grant for pretty much hijacking your thread...it was my fault...So bump to the top to help Grant sell his cue!

That proved my hypothesis, thanks. I believe you may have blown your credibility, but hey, what do I know...

Have a great night.

And no, it did not prove anything. I dont feel I have to prove anything to you. If you choose not to believe me, then that is totally up to you. And my credibily is intact. I just see no reason to prove to you what I have or do not have.

Matter of fact, I am lying about being able to play pool. You will have to give me the 7 and the breaks. I will donate my money to you. :rolleyes:

Im not here to get into a pissing match, you believe what you want. I hold no hard feelings towards you 1proscoe whatsoever.

I wore both the scroll and the tab and both took some intestinal fortitude to acquire ( the scroll more then the tab) I assume it is a Typo but when I went through school was 72 days (4 day assessment and 68 days of school),If you are a member of 75th Regiment you can go to school as a private. The thing that doesn't sit well with me about this thread is that when I spoke to Dennis Searing I felt that exactly what appears to be taking place with the cue in this thread seemed to be very much different then what he wants to happen with the cues he sells. I don't want to get involved as 3rd party in other peoples business because I don't have all the information, but I think it is admirable that Searing has taken an approach to putting a players cue in players hands more then in resalers hands and it would be a let down to see people not adhere to his wishes in that aspect, but like I say I am basing everything off of what appears to be and really don't have all the information.

I don't play pool either, so it'd be an even match.

Point is, you're posting a lot lately and claiming a lot of tall things. I'd just like to see some substantiation.

There are several collectors here that are very prominent and known who own multi-million dollar collections. They never flaunt what they have, nor are they usually the ones that stand out.

You then have the entusiast - those that want to post their cues and share with the board/world what they have and talk cues... this is the majority of the board.

Every now and then you'll have a few that come along and think that with the anonymity of the internet, they are able to claim that they have $eleventybillion and a 14" dingus.... these are ALWAYS flushed out very quickly. Happens on most ever message board with any decent traffic.

Tell you what - take a picture consisting of the following:

4 Farris
Tad
Schick
2 SW
2 Searing
Gilbert
Scruggs
Black Boar
Black
JW
7 titlist blanks (including 4 purpleheart)
14 Schons, one with an ivory joint

Put all of these in a room on a 9' and 7' Diamond table and I'll mail you $1000. This has to be done within the next 12 hours, though.

As it should have. You can be a motor pool flunkie and have someone send you to Ranger school if you meet the req.

But... OSUT, Airborne, RIP (it's own freakin' crazy ass gut check), then assignation to a batt., and waiting until you can be sent to school then operating within a batt. is 5k times the work and suffering. When you have a definite end date even "tonka truck speed" dudes can grunt it out if they have some girlie fight in them. Only a truly high-speed individual can find that low gear for the long haul.

Yea sorry about the thread hijack. But, get some good pics dude. Trying to sell and 8k stick of wood with those pics is like trying to sell a home with pics from a Lear Jet flyover.

Good Luck on the sale.

No, you keep your money. I am not interested in continuing this anymore. You can think what you want, and reply with whatever you want. I am just not interested in taking this any further just to prove I have something. And you know, I do apologise to you if I came off like I was trying to boast about anything I have. I can see where it would be taken that way.

And as for the titlist house cues, I believe I have stated a few times that they turned out to be junk.

I for one am sorry to anyone on here that I may have rubbed the wrong way. That is not who I am. If it sounded like I was being a jerk, Im sorry!

I am sure you will have something derogatory to say and thats fine. I can almost see the gears turning in your head now....But I for one am not going to go one step further with you to prove anything about me.

Don't sweat it. 1proscoe, likes to cause trouble, he suffers from inferiority complex, and has nothing better to do. If you actually saw the guy in person, you'd laugh.
