I had one $30 hat in my cart. UPS ground shipping is the cheapest at over $36?

Do they not know who you are?

They ought to sent you a hat, a shirt a stack of stickers and a $100 bill if you use em when you go nationwide

I'm sure I got a pic or two for your sponsorship application.reference.

I'm cheap too so here's my advice: Change your perspective and compare it to how much more everything costs today. A round of golf probably averages around $70 and every time I take the ol' lady out for dinner (which is often) it usually costs me around $100 after tax and the tip (and we don't drink!).

Just chalk those entry fees up to some entertainment and laughs. If you win something, it's a bonus.

You're one of them, I can't comprehend what I read people. I said it depends on the cereal. There are many cereals that are not the same at all.

It's been quite awhile since i've done a local pool tournament. But what i've seen recently locally for the last few months is nuts. I saw one listed for $200 last night and the week before another one was $75. Plus you have a calcutta too.

Larger entry fees translate to larger purses.

I play pool because I enjoy playing pool, but I'm probably not going to commit to an entire day for the chance to win $150 if I win the whole damn thing...

Here's the payout for the $70 tournament I played in last week. 39 players.

Pretty good for $70 plus another few bucks thrown at the Calcutta.

Thank you guys for the help!! Over found one and purchased it.

Told ya

The 7' slate depth is the best. If the 9' was the same, it would be a better table.

One unique feature of Grand-Olive I have mentioned and will mention again here is that it had what I would call map cabinets that regulars could put their cues in. You left your cue assembled and laid it in one of the drawers after you played. Never seen that before or since.

Another thing is that the place was dark except for the lights over the cash register and the lights over the tables that were in use. So if you were the only one playing, you'd be playing in a very dark room.

Also there was a spittoon on a rubber mat next to every table.

I think in the 60s you could buy a soft cue case for about $!.00. Nevertheless, I'd say about 20-25% of the pool players carried their sticks without a case. Either gripped together or tied together with a rubber band or two.

Many people had full splice house cues that AESchmidt had converted to two piece. Or Harold Worst branded cues (made by AESchmidt). $13.00 ish.

Finally many people had black ferrules on their cues.

The GOOD OLD Days.

Seyberts just got back to me, don't know what to say. Sort of looks like what I first stated in that some of the hats aren't actually being shipped from them. That doesn't explain though that I put the same hat in my cart three separate times and got three widely varying amounts for shipping. They are aware of it now and I'm sure will be looking into it. All I can say for now is if shipping looks wrong, call and ask.

Hello, thanks for reaching out and letting us know. With the shipping price, it is all quoted directly from USPS and UPS site from the dimensional weight of the package and depends on where it is going, we do not make any money on shipping. Their rates update all the time (UPS everyday) so that could be the reason for fluctuation, I checked this on my end with your info and see it was $7. When something like this arises, customers normally reach out to us to see if there is an error in the backend and if there is we can adjust it to be correct. Thank you for letting us know now, it must have since been fixed as I checked it, we are all human and capable of errors but we need to know about an error for us to fix it. Thanks

I figured many folks have driven in white out conditions , we still have some 2 lane roads without rumble strips .
The weather guessers forecast more wind 25 -35 with gusts up to 40 mph a nice gentle breeze ! Ha ha
