I thought tonkin was one of the good trusted cue makers.
A good friend had a questionable experience about 2 or 3 years ago. He got the cue but it was very very dicey. Lots of excuses and delays combined with special pricing if you pay ahead of time..

they were right ... 60k for something that rolls down the street is ridiculous ... it shouldn't cost that much .... many people dont even make that much a year. even if you make 120k a year a car at 60k is just stupid. in my opinion peoples wants out weigh their needs and prices run to take advantage of the craziness.
Check this thread out about how Tonkin screwed subdude1974.

ohh yeah i read that when he posted. forgot it was about tonkin. Crazy i read other sites talking about how he was one of the better builders/ reputation. thanks for the link
Or if he f##ked with the wrong person he could have ended up flat on his back at Umberto’s Clam House At 132 Mulberry.
there is the open billiard market buyer seller transaction group that lets the good buyer seller transactions be reported as well as the bad
im suprised it hasnt happened yet
that one I remember, I'm from Jersey.
Open Billiards Market is the biggest. Pool is Alive is another big one
me too at first till I dealt with him and pay in full first the. it was a freaking nightmare but luckily I got my cue after I threatened to blast him on facebook
But he still cheated me cause I paid extra for inlays but never got it and he say he upgraded the ring work for me which I thought that what I was getting at first
Of course I have all messages to proof what a lying horrible person he is
Social media is extremely powerful when it comes to resolving problems. Many companies now have social media based customer service departments for this very reason.
Facebook may be the most effective for getting resolution. Post this in every pool group there. JMO !

I highly doubt that's going to work in this case Tompkins website hasn't been updated since 2010 and I see no facebook page related to this guy. I highly doubt this guy gives a crap about his online presence.
He has a Facebook, he's the admin of his own fanclub
"Tonkin Custom Cue Fans" is a Facebook group. He bans people for noting his fraudulent behavior
