Ah, yes... for anyone who wants to avoid being the next Mr. Starkey...
Once logged into eBay, you can block specific users from bidding on your items at this URL:

EDIT: Hehe, my anticipation was killing me. Thanks for your reply, Jeff!

Well met, Alex! I wondered if you might chime in here. You never answered my eBay query about the reasons for your negative feedback. They sound very familiar.
As you may have read here, I do wish to impact Starkey's possible future business. His business is jewelry. I want him to stick to that and drop his haphazard hobby of cuebreaking.
Re Post #85
Actually, I did attempt to respond to your inquiry via ebay message and couldn't do so. Every time I tried to post my reply I kept getting a request to type in the 4 digit code provided in a cryptically color coded message box. I don't know if one of my firewalls or other programs was blocking the reponse but after 4 or so attempts to placate the ebay solons I didn't feel up to the effort to try to resolve it. I have no personal animus toward Mr. Starkey, after all, this is America, and he is entitled to do business as he wishes. Just not with me again. Caveat Emptor.

Whatever you say David, it's nice to see two of your personalities being so cordial towards one another.AlexB said:
Just know, when using multiple ID's, it's always a good idea to change the way you write so others can't detect your effort at sounding intelligent.

I am outdone. I bow to the Master.Have another go, Kloppi! At last, I get to sit back with a bowl of popcorn for a moment!
O, wait... Kloppi has me on his "ignore" list. Will someone quote this post so he can see it, please?
Usually, it's more fun getting in his face behind his back.

Klopek,
You made a very astute observation, from the language used and the type of sentence structure. Nice work.
Sooo, AlexB bought a cue, didn't like, returned it for a refund, end of story. Common occurence.
The question remains: What kind of FRIGGIN IDIOT does the same thing outlined above, but then buys THE SAME CUE AGAIN, from the SAME PERSON??
It is my personal belief that you are so loaded up with rage (guilt/confusion/imbalance) that you don't realize Starkey has already made this right. He has brought peace to this by doing what was true and just.
"With our eyes on the horizon, we do not see what lies at our feet"
Other than your ability to type the letters, there is nothing zen about you....
(FYI, I am Buddhist, and a practitioner of Zen Buddhism. You throw words around like it's a fad and/or you think it's cool. Had you a deeper understanding of the zen philosophy, you could never even make the original post. Ch'an would essentially prohibit your mind from thinking in terms of revenge. Your eyes are obviously closed and, therefore, you can not be on the path to Enlightenment.)

David, something doesn't seem to add up. Enlighten us as to the following:
The auction ended 8-2-06 and you were the winner.
On 9-12-06 you left positive feed back, stating; Easily worth $700! Hits like a 1-piece, AAA materials. Won 19-0 1st session!
Then on 10-6-06 you followed-up on that feed back; Follow-up by davidhakala: No predator has 4 segments. Inlays protrude, jagged, broken. Says he did me a favor!
From the time you received the cue until over a month later, you seemed VERY pleased with the cue. What happened??

I don't know you or Mr. Hakala. Neither of you gentlemen know me nor probably wish to do so. However, Mr. Hakala sounds as though he may be more than reasonably intelligent and can provide legitimate discourse. On the otherhand this would appear to be a reasonable facsimile of you and your ability to do so.

The kind who can't stand to see a cue of great potential remain unhealed, as I have explained four times now.
He has paid for the healing of his cue, which is indeed just.
But he is still peddling crap and blaming it on his customers. He is still degrading Predator and Tiger cues, causing harm to those firms' reputations, players, and other sellers of such products.

Von, according to the prevailing "wisdom" around here, nothing short of a photograph of you shaking hands with the Buddha is acceptable proof of that claim.
