Wow!!!!! $3,800 for a "Searing" Box Cue? Let me know where. I would like to buy a few so I can flip it for the money :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

flipper talk is meaningless

i asked him how much to make me a box cue
he said $3800

i said i want a $6000 one

he said ok you are next

who tried to buy wholesale?

the fact is he is a liar i don't want one of his cues any longer

even if some people think they are the best

i am not one who thinks much of them,most i have seen are not any nicer than
any of a group of cue makers i buy from

I read afew replys, and the only reason people are willing to wait ten years and still pay when the time comes is bc they can re-sell fairly quick, even without a markup, so Mr.Searing saying hes tired of flippers is BS, and so is everyone knocking him or the buyers. it is what it is, nobody is waiting ten years behind a phone, people live their lives, if the money is there they buy, if not, theres someone a call away willing to. personally, i don't think the maney or wait is worth it, so im not on the list, but id someone is willing to be, so be it. who gives a shit. Its wood.

Southwest has a long wait, but if you e-mail Lauri, you get a reply in a fews days max where you are on the list, and projected delivery date.

She is a business person.

To be fair, Southwest isn't "apples to apples". She is one a of a few that work for the company, which puts out more cues in one year than other cue makers do in a lifetime.

The point isshe manages along wait, deals with customers, and I don't hear the moan and grown because she handle business.

Being a one or two man show is not 7-4, with an hour for lunch. It is a 7 x 24 x 365 job you need to pay attention too.

I was a one man sghow for over 20 years, my life was not my own, but I understood who payed my rent, etc. Clients not me.

The sourest grapes of them all.

What are the odds if DS called you tomorrow and said your cue was ready you'd be singing a different tune?

Bash the man, not his work. His work speaks for itself, regardless of how many ignorant people populate this board at all times.
 
You assume they want the cue to use it and not flip it. If you want to flip a cue you don't want to pay retail, you want it directly from the maker.

When you see in the wanted/for sale section a thread titled "brand new Szamboti " - that's the guy you should be upset with if you have to wait years for your cue.

Oh, really? Be upset? Oh, okay. What if the guy with the new Szamboti cues acquired a huge ivory tusk for the maker and the cuemaker preferred to barter with a new cue or two? It's called commerce or business. It has been going on all over the world for a few thousand years. In the USA the cuemaker can decide when, who and how he builds or doesn't build no matter who approves or disapproves. I'm not defending any unfortunate dealings anyone has had with cuemakers past or present (I've had my share).
 
First of all this thread was started just to get in touch with Dennis..... Which I admit is getting ridiculous these days.... But that is because off all these BIG BANK HANKS trying to lube him up for a cue...... I am just looking for repair info for one of his cues...

He wants to make cues for someone who's going
to play with it, not for someone who immediately
sells it for a profit.

He told me that he didn't mind someone selling it
down the road after several years of use. He
compared it to someone buying a car and then
selling or trading it for another 6 or 8 years later.

This is exactly the same thing he told me-

So someone please explain what all the Hype is about, Dennis's Cues are nice. But are they magic, or are they driven to be had by collector, and flipper because he make few per year?

IMHO there are so many great Cue maker in 2014, guys who work is on a par with Dennis, but because no one important who writes for some Pool Rag has said the new Cue Guru is, FILL IN THE BLANK.

Their Great Work is Ignored because it has not been hyped to the point of being the in VOGUE CUE for 2014.

What for?
You're not buying and there are none available .
And if it explained to you, you're just going to argue some more.
You don't get it and it's better that way.

No Joey I understand there are no magic cues, no matter what hype you choose to babble. I am sure your Countrymen ER could still play world class pool, with a Cue from the Big 5 Sporting Goods chain.

I would rather have ER's sill at Pool verses one of the Cues in Vogue you choose to babble about.
 
The work that sets Dennis apart from virtually every other cuemaker is what you can't see in the photos.

Any of you nits know how he constructs his joint? His ferrules? How he tests his shafts?

None of you have a clue.
 
no knowledgeable cue person will knock a DS cue for build quality, attention to detail and overall perfection unless they're butt hurt or have an agenda, his cues compare favorably with anyone's


in the same breath we may not like his business model, but, we know what it is
