Deano

I am still waiting to pass judgement on how bad the Jackpot were, photos = 1,000 words.

So post your photos, I am sure other alsoWould love to see.
These photos were taken less than 2 weeks after Dean shipped the cue. There's a few things to note here.

-The handle and forearm were coming apart and cracking
-The buttsleeve is completely hollow up into the handle
-The collars are cheap gray PVC instead of black
-The ferrules are totally mismatched, materials, lengths, diameters
-The collars are rounded with ripples throughout the finish
-The maple shaftwood is a D- grade at best
+Nice pin

Again, this cue would have been fine at $250 from Schmelke.

Defending the sale of these at $600 as a Jack Potter cue is an embarrassment to the legacy of Jack's cuemaking.

Those issues occurred less than two weeks after purchase? Hell, those wouldn't be fine for $250 cue either. For me it looks like a cheap homemade cue not worth more than maybe $100. The shaftwood is a joke too, there are barely any growth rings visible.
 
basically Deano told everyone they were getting a mustang and in the end they got a pinto
They got Mastongs, looks like a Mustang but built in a factory owned by a Kia/Yugoslavia joint venture factory in Pakistan.

Carry on, the rest of us are focused on the actual issue being discussed.

I have a Schmelke and the only thing that matches your problems is
The buttsleeve is completely hollow up into the handle maybe that's how they build them all,I don't know.
Mine is pretty good for the $230 I paid,now is it the equal of my $1000 Troy Downey cue? No it is not.
But I'm very happy with it.
I have this Schmelke https://www.billiardwarehouse.com/cues/schmelke/schmelke_bw107-poolcue.htm
 
Having been under friend Lexus SUV, did see word Toyota on frame.

In Van Nyes, CA GM build Firebirds & Camerons on same line, but too different cars.
Toyota does not hide from the fact they build Lexus, they are quite proud of that achievement. They use to build Scions as well.

But, nobody pays Lexus price for a Toyota. Lexus is NOT built in the same plant as Toyota. If Toyota sold you a Camry and told you it was a Lexus, it would be fraud, the dealership would be sued and the AG's office would investigate for criminal fraud.

Even you can see that it is not have ethical and cue makers do not act like this. There is a reason no cue makers have come to his defense. It's embarrassing on so many levels.
 
For not having a dog in this fight, he sure has fought a.lot..lol
And we wonder why fraud and corruption is so rampant in so many US cities and at the federal level. We can't rat out our buddies, we have to just ignore any fraud we see, etc. Just like this.
 
Analogies never reflects, why would you even debate that? Too much pride
Of course they do……they are conjured up by the mind of the person that proffers the comparison.

It becomes relative based upon a realistic assessment of that’s person’s remarks and whether there
are underlying, unmentioned motives for persisting in an exaggerated representation of their outrage.

BTW……my post was grammatically correct and you were wrong but that’s become your common trait.

Wait what? You said the word "analogies" and that they "reflects" in the same sentence. Go call your remedial English teacher. You're an unbearable snob, but at least be literate.

I showed you the proof….I back up my comments unlike yourself or cohorts that indulge in bullshit arguments.

I even occasionally post positive comments on a few of your threads and posts despite that I have low regard
for your behavior at times. I call things as I see it with candor, honesty & best intentions for the Forum’s welfare.

Dean departed the Forum awhile ago but some people are still inclined to prosecute their anger and angst over
something that’s long in the past. Nonetheless, these folks remain steadfastly angry as if it was happening now.

Only thing people are really pissed about is people like you who refuse to condemn his actions. He should have been tossed off the forum once it was clear the bait-n-switch scam he orchestrated.
 
Here is the bottomline…….this is reality……..there are a lot more people that personally knew Deanoc
or “actually” transacted business with him versus those that had little contact with him or ever bought
any pool cues from Dean. Based on the posts & Likes expressed, Dean is more popular than unpopular.

Fact: there’s more supporters than there are critics. Furthermore, most of his critics never bought a pool
cue from Dean whereas many of his proponents actually have. Firsthand experience certainly qualifies a
person to express pertinent opinions unlike his critics that largely echo what they’ve heard or maybe read.
 
At this time, it's difficult for me to see such division in a place I enjoy reading each morning.

What if I were to tell you that you were all played on this one. Fake ID started it and I know who that person is, he called me a few times over the years and one time he told me exactly what his fake ID was. At this time his normal ID has not logged in for over a month but the second he sees me saying this, he will log in to deny, now that I put this last sentence in, he's now in the trickbag, we can watch the login.


IMHO, fraud is wrong, lying to sell any item is wrong, defending wrong is wrong.

With that being said, Deano is not a public figure and we have no right to continue talking about a man not here to represent himself. The only legal reason he can be talked about on this forum is due to his listing and selling here, henceforth, he brought this upon himself.
Good afternoon I'm not sure if you are speaking of me starting this thread and being a fake ID (this is my one and only AZB ID) because had I known that just asking where Dean was and how he was doing would lead to all this I wouldn't have posted the question. I'm just glad to know that he's still kicking as I had all positive interactions with him. To all a good day to you in the world's craziest of times.

Your proof is wrong, though. It doesn't apply at all. You reference a compound subject where the plural form is the same spelling as the singular.

Again, talk to your English teacher and save us the specious reasoning with lame Google Fu.

Quote your post and throw it on your Grammar forum, it will not be deemed as correct or proper.
