How do buy back at tournaments work?

Often you get this happening fairly early, when both players have a BB. So both players will have their BB. If I play someone I can’t beat (like the time I drew John Morra in the first round), I’m not buying back after he spanks me. If the two players are closely matched, the loser will often buy back, and if he wins then the other player will often buy back. So it becomes best 2 out of 3 sets in the end.

The one time it sucks is if you happen to upset a much better player. At that point the better player buys back and is highly likely to win the second set. And I’m probably NOT wasting my BB trying to beat them again.

It’s a neat option overall for a once a year tournament, but I wouldn’t want it be standard.

That's pretty cool - strategically.

PVC is great. Basically a Fellini/Centennial/Engles case to ship in.

I have never bought a Cue from Seyberts but have heard about it, not unlikely from you.

How someone packs and ships a cue says a lot.

It's actually part of the gamble when buying from Ebay and other sources from "non-cue" people. I am never surprised to see the tragedy unfold. I have gotten cues where the darn thing was sticking out of the packaging. I have seen cues packed with chalk and sandpaper...wow...

I am however surprised to see a poorly packed cue from a "cue person".

Good advice as well is to take pictures of your packaging.

And if you are the buyer take pictures or video when unpacking.

There is always risk involved. Good communication is key, and covering all the details is key...use reliable payment and shipping methods and use insurance.

It's part of the cost of doing business.

I bought a custom cane that was shipped loose in weak cardboard box... It was poking through the box when I received it and chipped. The best Iv'e seen was a guy I know bought a turntable through eBay. It was loose in a box and looked like scrape yard junk when received.

I Glue & Tape the tube to the box. I tape the ends of the tube. The tube should bullet proof. If a strong tube cannot be found consider using PVC. Maybe drill a few holes onto the tube so it can breath.
If you ever bought a cue from Seyberts their tubes can handle a truck driving over them.

Absolutely. Get a feel for the buyer. I proposed a few cues for sale...they are in 99%... stated no returns if you do not like it. If the disclosure checks out I do not want it back.

vett your customer. get his real full name and living address and send to that. google it and see if you want to take the risk to send it there. google him and his phone number and see what you can find out.
anything that smells dont send it.
pay pal will not give you the money and he will have the cue if a disagreement happens.
i would get a better way of getting funds that cant be held.
postal money order. wired funds etc, unless sure he is sound. and a regular poster on here.
