The more I think about it, I am thinking that the OP might be out to try and scam jbbilliards. Think about it:
Within the first couple of posts Russ (poolhustler), a member for 5 years with 138 iTrader comments and purchaser of multiple high end cues, offered the OP double his money if he didn't receive a refund. After getting a guarantee like that, the thread continued for another 80 posts.
The OP has still said he is not sending it back, and the video and pictures he has presented have yet to show any definitive markings that it was in fact the cue in question. Without any evidence, I would have to assume this person is trying to steal a measly $75.
He set out to question jbbilliards rep and has actually damaged his own standing on the forum. At this point, I wouldn't buy from or sell anything to Gary. So many people have told him the way the world works that at this point I can find no other conclusion.
