Dufferin sneaky blanks

120 house cues, most are older with great specs (thinnest we found was .821" diameter at 29" up from the bottom, most are .850"+). Nice tighter style return points with most of the points being very even (1/8" of variance or so on some)


BLANKS ARE SOLD OUT, THANK YOU!

Damn, if I was in the mood to make a conversion.
But, every time I make one for myself, it gets bought. :grin:
 
This is the mother load. :eek:

I think this is a mighty fine deal by the way. And Patrick is straight up, no BS, no drama, a solid character to deal with.

Could you measure the balance point for each one and let me know?
No hurry

Thanks

I knew sooner or later, the cue bug would bite you hard. Now your hooked & with all these blanks, you`ll be making sneakys for years to come.
Welcome to the world of building cues Uncle Ted.

I offered to buy half of these from him for $500 and he didn't have the common courtesy to even return my message tell me yes, no or take them all or nothing.

A couple years ago he flaked out on some shaft wood he offered to sell here after I paid for them. Told me he couldn't figure out how to package squares to ship them?

Yes he returned my money but over all I wouldn't put him in the category of no BS and no drama. Two stars at best.

For the record, since I am full of BS and drama, offering to give us processing and grading work to do for half the advertised price is not a very courteous offer. Who bothers replying to low-ball offers? If I walked into your shop and offered you less than half the advertised price for your shop rate, you would dismiss that entirely.

As for the shaft wood... I'm not very smart, and in the face of logistics concerns, gave you your cash back with an apology. If that's the definition of flaking out, then count me as the same delicate snowflake you're acting like here.

He gave you your money back? What a piece of shit.

I bought a custom shaft from him. Near as we can tell it got stolen out of the box on my door step...or maybe I have a crooked delivery man. I received a torn open package with no shaft.

He refunded me so fast it made my head spin. He ate the cost. He never questioned my integrity or my word.

I sleep with one eye open at night because of people like him.

Looks to me like Ideoligist listed a great deal.

Looks like he sold the entire lot to one buyer.

Most sellers would take that sale over any sale that was only 1/2 of what was listed, I would not blame him one bit. With such a great offering, he surely had more replies than time to answer.

I would not call the offer by JC a lowball offer, he offered half the money for half the products listed, it was not half price for the entire lot.

Chopdoc just gave the best defense we could read on any forum, Thanks.


SMILE, it's Saturday and there are many Dufferins out there.
 
I am still trying to find out who bought the Duffs and want to know if he would be willing to sell part of them??????????

I never said he was a piece of shit Doc. I said 2 stars.

And no I didn't get my money back so fast it would make your head spin. The whole thing tool almost a month.

But now that I hear the response from Patrick I will downgrade it to one star.

The "processing" I asked for was to cut 60 of them in half and keep the other part which would cut the shipping cost and package size down substantially.

Low ball offer Patrick? You think your offering is so hot you can't be bothered by taking thirty seconds to reply to a serious offer? Screw you.

Edit for Clarity the "screw you" is directed at Patrick not at Doc who said "If I walked into your shop and offered you less than half the advertised price for your shop rate, you would dismiss that entirely" Which is such bullshit it got my blood pressure up a bit. That is not what I offered. And yes he was flakey about the shaft deal whether I got my money back eventually or not. His reason for not shipping them was that he couldn't find a box suitable to send them in. As if. I have always believed he offered them for sale, sold them to me for what he was asking and then got a better offer and screwed me. Who can't figure out how to box shaft squares to ship?

You asked for 60 items with a clear cost of $12+shipping (processing was also noted to raise the cost more)
You asked for them to be graded for you (this would fall under processing)
You asked for them to be cut (also falls under processing)
You asked me to eat the shipping (documented as an additional cost)

Then you decided to publicly whine, and wave your dollar figure out for all to see. Talk about class.

I didn't think this offering was very hot, so I priced it to sell, and it did very quickly. Instead of owning up to the fact that you asked for the moon, you went the ad hominem route. Continued show of class from you.

Thanks for your offer, but I declined and that was obvious. You decided to cry about it online, and then take the time to post about taking your ball and going home. I also fell down on your list, sorry that I didn't roll over for you. Maybe next time.

Thank you everyone for the interest, they were sold in minutes but I didn't mark it sold until payment came in.

My only beef was your lack of response. My offer did not fall into some ridiculous lowball zone. You could have and should have taken a moment and replied.

Asked for the moon? How damned important do you think of yourself as?

You could have said no I don't have the time to cut them. You could have said sure but I will need xx more dollars to do so. You could have said no I really want to sell them as a lot. You could have said they're already sold. You could have said any number of things. Or you could have just not responded at all and then two days later said they are sold.

Sorry but I don't like being treated like a zit. Not for the second time by the same person.

If you had taken just a minute to respond to me a few days ago just think of how much nicer this thread would have been? Sellers take note.
