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.

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.

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.

How do buy back at tournaments work?

Cool hearing different formats of "buy back". I have never heard of buy-back = replaying the match just lost. Wouldn't that hold up the entire event one round? And why should the winner be penalized?

Not judging the format, just seems strange to me:)

Yes, it does hold up the tournament (or at least part of the draw). The tournament has good money added and place over a weekend, so people are more forgiving. There are usually several pros and many semi pros playing.

The winner is “penalized”, but then the fact is all players have a buy back so the winner might need it at some point too.

The tournament also has an interesting twist on the Calcutta. 15% of the Calcutta is paid out to the top finishers below a certain Fargo threshold. So even the usual dead money players have a chance to hit that Calcutta with a favourable draw.
