Old, rare Blackboar for sale
- Thread starter Nuts4Tascarellas
- Start date
It's the OP's cue and he can ask what ever price he wants. If he wants $100 thousand for the cue so be it. I understand why members jumped on him about an auction, but there are better ways to handle it than to dog pile the man. If a new member does something outside of the rules, send him a PM and kindly explain the rules.
Make the man an offer, if he doesn't accept it move on down the road. All this ganging up telling him his cue isn't worth what he wants, looks like several people are trying to force a man to sell something for a price he doesn't want to sell for.
Finally, commenting in someone else thread about the price or value of their cue is uncool. Send him a PM explaining why you believe your offer is fair.
Respectfully,
Steven

Steven you have a clear point that is understandable. Others have also made a fair point that is understandable if he were to watch the site he would know its not usually how this is done BUT I have some very rare cues and in some cases I do not want others knowing what I paid so I think all should call a truce maybe and go get a pint together and become mates.
TO THE SELLER : GREAT CUE
I will be direct and let you know I have been seriously considering this cue for reasons another mate was considering the cue and for it would fit part of my collection. I know these cues and they are super hard to obtain and boy can they shoot. As a member of the site and I guess I really can only speak for myself .
I would suggest if your not in a hurry to dump the cue to withdraw the offer and then at a later time offer this nice cue back to this market and same site for I think the whole presentation from us members and from your method of listing it may have affected the whole sale. Those whom collect BB cues do have an interest in it and they are here .I would buy a BB here prior to a fleabay that is for sure.
This is the correct site and forum of individuals for the sale of such a cue and yes a select few would like to keep the price private so you are in the right place. I would suggest that you might want to either consider one of the brokers here of top quality cues and there are several here to represent it and quality check it also. I have done it myself to keep my privacy on higher end sales and it was well worth it at this site.
They are professional about it and taken more serious and can obtain top funds for your cue as their customer base is larger as they built a customer base within this field that in sales surpasses fleabay . I would just suggest you withdraw if for a short bit as your presentation was correct just not worded correctly and those brokers are not going to tell you at this time what you have not pointed out on the cue nor has anyone yet that makes it a find. Also some of the members that responded rough are not really bad guys/gals Ive talked to several and they are good mates.
Steven , was correct to try to slow a bad roll on a good cue and the people whom have been contacting you have a natural interest in the cue or they would pass your listing. This has been a lose lose situation and from my history with a few of them they are just frustrated as they have a natural interest in a nice cue and they would like to be the one to get it.If you had a person whom could represent the cue properly and explain why and what factors justify application of any price it should work for you.
I will not suggest any of the cue brokers on here as that would be unfair to other mates but also realize you are their competition right now so they are not going to jump out of their way to sell your cue when their customers may be considering their cues against yours. I also feel a broker would help YOU understand the market right now and what to expect and present your cue properly with those response . When dealing with higher level cues your at the best place as many here whom do obtain your type cue stay here.
I know this sounds a odd thing to mix the word broker and cue together for a sale but once you get to a certain level they are an asset and they do this all the time and are highly trusted and are required in some transactions . As this post went in a odd direction I posted it directly on your thread to that I would not normally do but I feel others may learn from this post .Once you get to a certain level the top guys on here are invaluable and I suggest you seek them out. For instance your comment that they stated it was rare means nothing to a person whom is truly interested but these brokers have the rapport with BB and can get a letter for a small fee possibly that will justify a increase of value to a person like say me.
You do have the cue and your at the right place and the right people are here. I am sorry this did not go well for you or the buyers but I feel for both parties this level of a cue and the way this has unfolded I would suggest a broker for you and your customers to find a parity so you may close the sale. There are plenty of professional brokers on here with great reputations just ask around and grab one up,They are fair and have the knowledge you did not post and can respond as to why a listing is requested silent in a different manner.----- This was just all miss communication and base knowledge---
There is a bunch of great people here do not let this 1 rift get you down
Wow I wrote my first book

I don't care how elegantly you try to write, your tactics are wrong in my opinion. You have inferred he represented his cue improperly, THAT IS AN OPINION NOT A FACT.
I understand you want his cue just like several others, but you don't want to pay his price. I hope we can all agree that a cue (or any asset for that matter) is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
You and several others were unwilling to pay his price, but you and several others can't risk another potential buyer paying his price. So what do you do to keep anyone else from buying his cue, you infer, IN HIS THREAD, that he has improperly represented his cue. Others have been even more blunt saying, IN HIS THREAD, his cue is overpriced. It appears this tactic is to create doubt in any other potential buyer. In my opinion, that conduct is despicable.
To the OP: its obvious several members want your cue. Only you can decide what you want for your cue. Also, keep in mind this is the billiard industry and many people in this industry will make what ever move they need to in order to get what they want.
good luck sir.
Steven

Wow Steven I gave you a compliment and backed you then you blew me out of the water--- first time you ever did that when I was backing you--second I suggested a broker and that is NOT trying to get it at a cheaper price for sure just the opposing--- and I feel this is the wrong place to have this discussion as you read me wrong mate.
I backed off the cue a while ago after all the jabber and attention it got and feel I did send him in the correct direction and I did post it was MY opinion and was trying to close the thread in hopes he would re post the cue in a different manner with a broker as I am off of it due to the way the thread went.It got way too much attention for me . It is so easy to judge is it not today. What a shame but I have not contacted the seller of the cue nor would I with the publicity it got.
I think its great your defending the guy but don't defend a guy against people trying to help him and please do not bark at people trying to back you because I knew what was coming next as you opened yourself up.
If I wanted the cue the price would not matter to me you should know this more than anyone at all mate . Too much yapping made me cold. I might reconsider it if it were presented without a bunch of barking in the future.
Your welcome for the back up Steven-I am off this thread and once again I suggest a cue broker to the seller as too many spoke to fast and judged to quick on this sale and ruined the guys listing. Nice cue mate good luck with your sale.
I should have let Mark plant you one as I knew it was coming you opened yourself up for it. But not, I posted in behind you to stop the attack you opened yourself up to mate and give the guy direction then you box me mate. No Honor mate, read fully before you post against people backing you Steven.

I would say that best offer is the same as price check , rule #4
what is this buyer beware you cant state a cue is over priced, are we governed by china ,

It is amazing to me how upset people have gotten about MY thread. It is as if it is their cue that is being assessed, insulted, and devalued...
I did not mean for this to be a confrontational process.
Does anyone have a broker that they can recommend?

dont sweat all the knockers. you have not broke the rules of the for sale forum. almost every one else except for g man poke has though. cudos to him for setting people straight.
you are not the 1st person who opened a thread without a price and you probably wont be the last. no where in the rules does it say you have to set a price. after several posters hounded you for a price they broke the rules by knocking that price.
you then lowered your price to 4,000.00 or best offer. i would leave it at that. just take the highest offer if you can live with the price.
good luck with your sale.
Thursday bump - any interest?
First i want to say... i dont get the hype in BB's... i personally played with 2 different boars and neither one really gave.me the warm and fuzzies. However, there is most definitely a huge market for Tony's cues. And no one can deny the level of construction.
Congrars on having a great example of the early BB.
And as far as the "chatter"... its because its a boar. Their is blood in the water and sharks are circling. It boils down to people wanting one BAD, but not wanting to pay the price.
No one can tell you what you SHOULD sell it for. It boils down to what you CAN sell it for. Dont back down, stand your ground and hold out for the buyer that wants it enough to pay for it
I wish you the best of luck.
Hell, i reccomend offering a money game with cue in stakes

Bump for a sale.
I am amazed at the amount of members that will quote the rules of this site when it suits them - then break them at a whim. I have been the brunt of many comments and sarcasm. The last comment is just ignorant. It isn't helpful or productive. I have been nice up to this point. I am done with that now. I am tired of the BS.
I will repost the cue later. If you guys make negative comments and continue to set suggested prices, or are just nasty and sarcastic - I WILL CONTACT THE ADMINISTRATOR! I have had enough.
Those of you that have broken the rules really detract from what this site could be...

You looking for a recommendation of a broker who can sell your cue or are you looking for a broker that can sell your cue for 4K (down from 5K down from 6K)?
Thanks

Sure. Sounds like it would help.
There's plenty of brokers that could do a bang-up job selling your cue.
Selling it for 4K, not so much.
Kevin
Just couldn't help yourself - could you? SAD...
Cue??
I'M NOT IN THE MARKET FOR THE CUE HOWEVER I BELIEVE THAT BEING ON THIS SITE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN CUES THAT IF YOU PUT A FAIR PRICE ON THE CUE IN FAIR I MEAN FOR BOTH PARTIES SELLER AND BUYER AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THE CUE MARKET HAS WENT A LITTLE SOUTH LATELY THAT YOU WILL END UP WITH SOME $$$ IN YOUR POCKET AND SOMEONE WILL ENJOY PLAYING WITH A NEW CUE. JUST MY TWO CENTS:smile:
