So, where does it stand?

[BarenbruggeCues]

If one wants to sell something cuemaker related or specific, can it be posted in the "Machinery Section" or does it have to go in wash tub with every thing else? If that's the case, is it a rule infraction if it gets linked here? If it gets linked to the machinery section?

If the item is specifically cuemaker relavant, what's the harm?

You can try what I do for the Micarta.

List item(s) in "Wanted/For Sale" section - where pics - prices etc
are not only allowed, but demanded - then post a link in one
of the Cumaker sections.

In the W/FS post, you might want to say item is of most interest
to cuemakers - if it is something like, oh say, joint pins or butt blanks>

I thought we were trying to stop advertising prices for cuemaker specific items for the world to see? Why on Earth should cuemaking parts and machinery be posted in the general Wanted/For Sale section? That seems counter-intuitive to me.

1. On this Earth, the world can see items posted in this section.

2. My experience was that I sold more to non-cuemakers
than cue makers/repair persons.

Any member can send PMs.

The only way to keep the world from viewing info is to have some kind of
cuemaker police to determine if one is, in fact, cue-verified.
I don't know about you, but I for one am not inclined to volunteer
for that job.
Perhaps some current members of the Spelling committee would be interested.

This is just my opinion but a post is a post no matter where it is.
Takes up just as much space no mater where it is posted.
Takes up more if it is posted twice (once for the post and once for the link)
Makes sense to me that machinery specific to cue making would be listed in the cue / machinery section.
As far as materials go, if it is for cue makers, post what you got in the cue makers section but just don't give a price if you would rather not sell to someone that dont make cues.
If they want it they will PM or call you and at that time you can determine if the person is a cue maker or not.
How many sellers would privately turn down someone that was NOT a cue maker or repair person?

Has there been a problem with people who dont make cues buying cue making materials here?
Perhaps it is a problem with people that are not making cues and are selling parts?
I really dont see the big problem here ... can someone please explain?

Are the prices of raw wood and other bits and pieces a big secret?
If so why are the prices posted on the public web sites of cue makers here for all the world to see?

I CAN understand why a cue maker would want to keep his sources a secret.
Just look at the rising price price of wood over the last few years.
Plus good shaft Maple is hard to get and there are people that will by it all and try to make a deal to buy all that is produced in the future.
Making it even harder for the small time cue maker to find some good stuff when he needs it.
People today have more spare time on their hands, more money to spend (contrary to the so called bad economy here in the USA) and there are a lot of people retiring and looking to keep their hands busy. That is why there are so many cue makers scrambling to get good materials today.
