I think I understand Monstermash is a drama queen, I recall when he, or or was it his girlfriend bought a
2 x 3 Sterling Wave Case that "scratched" his gwirl friends Cue. Never did post photo of the scratches when people asked show up.
But
Matt Carter of Sterling Gaming posted he would resolved the problem, because wanted to see for himself the Wave Case that did the nasty scratching. Offer a FREE REPLACEMENT, offer postage reimbursement, offered a new case, offered, offered. If Mr. Unhappy would return the Sterling Wave Case that did the scratching to his Gwirls Cue.
Read the drama in these two threads (linked), decide for yourself who is out of line.
scottyjoe145 was happy with a purchase from Jim Baxter who has many transaction on AZB, and than someone who never saw, touched, or had anything to do with scottyjoe145's Cue, started trashing Jim Baxter.
Maybe Monstermash will share with us why he has this venom for Jim Baxter, and JBCases who designed the STERLING WAVE CASE.
Several years ago I was up in Sin City at the BCAPL 8 Ball thing in the Riviera. Saw an older gentleman carrying a Sterling Wave Case. The Wave Case had just come out that year.
The way the guy was dressed, including shoes, and jewelry said RICK Cat. I asked how is that Wave Case working out for you, he stopped, sung the praises of the Wave he bought at the SBE.
Than showed me his prizes he trust to be protected by the inexpensive Wave Case. A Original George Balabushka, Gus Szamboti in a Sterling Wave Case. Bet the guy had more prizes at home in a safe.
Nuff Said!
You really need to get your facts straight. By the time I was asked to provide photos of the Bender cue that was damaged, I had already brought it to PFD Studios and had it repaired. But because you always just seem to stick your nose where it doesn't belong without having any facts to back it up and since you seem to think you know everything, by all means, please feel free to contact Mr. Drexler and ask him about the damage on the cue. And when he sets you straight, I expect an apology from you for getting involved with something you know nothing about.
On that same note, John and I have discussed this and even after everything that was said between us we worked it out. Why? Because deep down we are really just good people. We were willing to listen to each other and respect each other enough to hear each other out. So to be CLEAR, there are no ill feeling between JB and myself. So do me a favor and keep your nose out of everyone else's business.
Additionally, I recall getting a pm from you directing my attention to some things that were said by John when all this was going on. Which begs to wonder why you felt the need to be involved AGAIN in something that you have no stake in except to stir the pot.
Now, since you want to rehash everything that happened between Baxter and myself I'll spare everyone that knows the story all the details but I will give you the abridged version since you seem to have forgot, or never really knew anyway.
These are THE FACTS. And I hope people will read this and think twice before ordering anything from him. And I know he's going to be pissed when I post this but he has only you to blame for stirring it up AGAIN!
I ordered a set of JP's for my newly acquired Blackcreek cue from Jim.
We discuss details including colors, ring thickness, and design.
I send details to Jim as to the ring thickness and colors so that they will match as close as possible without having to send the cue across the country.
Jim returns home from a long trip and sends me an email informing me that when he returned my JP's we completed and on the shipping table. Which begs the question, who actually made them?
He sends me a photo of the JP's and I reply that they are not correct. The color is not correct and the ring thickness is WAY off. Even though they are not what I ordered, Jim tells me he is shipping them and expects payment. I reply to the fact that I do not want them because they are incorrect.
Jim responds with some off color comment about not wanting to "say something he'll regret later" and basically demands payment and tells me to hold judgement until I see them.
Although I know that I am going to be unhappy because I can see from the photo that they are not correct I pay him anyway and he ships them. Upon arrival, it is even more clear that they are not as I ordered and I try to context Jim to send them back, which by the way was idiotic because now I have to pay return shipping for something THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHIPPED ANYWAY! Jim never responds to my emails asking to send them back. And why would he, he has my money?
After a period of time without any response from Jim, I do a review of Jim and the JP's and that of course gets his attention and now he wants me to send them back. Of course he does, now his complete lack of customer service is out for everyone to see and he's in damage control mode. He spews a bunch of lies in the thread and then......
I get attacked by all of Jim's buddies here on the forum because somehow I'm the asshole for expecting to actually get what I ordered. Let me tell you, there was some (insert sarcastic voice here) complete brilliance going on from all of his buddies.
Some time goes by and because Jim and I have a mutual friend that assures us we got off on the wrong foot, I bury the hatchet and give him another chance. I order another set of JP's for my girlfriends cue and they turn out pretty good. So I'm under the impression that Jim and I are ok so I start a thread informing everyone that Jim and I have worked out our differences. Meanwhile, Jim is still harbouring a grudge and although I am trying to be nice to him, he still acts like I'm the Antichrist.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I have an issue with Scottyjoe who complains (lies actually) to Baxter about a discussion we had via pm about him violating the rules and because Jim wants to sell him something he takes his side and starts a thread thrashing me. Well, I thought that was the reason. Actually, the reason is because Jim is just to stuck in his ways to see anyone else's point of view.
Please keep in mind, this is the SHORT version of the story and there is much more to tell.
So Cowboy, ask me again why I have "venom" for Baxter. Do me a favor and get your facts straight before you decide to stir the pot and instigate trouble.
