Searing.

it doesnt take years to get caught up and if someone wants their property back it should immediately be sent.

to keep it after the ask has another word describing what that is.

and as far as making things right with another great cuemaker, taking years isnt making anything right. although in their mind they think it is.

Yeah I agree, but obviously plenty of cuemakers operate on their own timeline and their own business process. At this point it's worth driving to Dennis' shop and getting back whatever Dennis has that belongs to the OP. Some AZers have done this and it seems to have worked out fine with Dennis, other than the trouble and irritation for those that have to retrieve their belongings.

In years gone by if I had such a problem I always felt it best to deal with it face to face. Sometimes that took me hundreds of miles but nearly always I got the desired results without any trouble taking place. Only on one occasion did a well timed slap to the face bring a thief to his senses. He was a junkie who looted my cash register while his accomplice got the attention of my girl working the counter that day. I got my money back plus his watch.

My experience has always been that looking someone in the eye and telling the truth gives you great power. Of course in today's world I'm not sure I would trust even that anymore. I want back up just in case. ;)

Amen to this. Same life experience for me. Have dealt with countless deadbeats and charlatans, always goes best breathing the same air.
 
Personally I would make a trip to "visit" Searing in person. I have heard tons of storys about him from close friends. The cuemaker you are hoping to be your "savior" is also known as a scumbag and ripoff artist (Showman).

If this was happening to me they better wish I dont get cancer, because I would "right the wrongs" and serve my remaining time in prison.

If I lived in Florida I would start a business called "get your shit back"

Get all dressed up like those bail bondsmen fake cops and head on over to his crib. Bring a taser and German shepherd for effect.

Seems like he's screwed enough people you could run a brisk business for a while.:LOL:
 
I guess I’m very fortunate to own one of Dennis cue. About 5 months ago, I messaged him on Facebook about making me an extension and he answered back. We chatted for like 30 mins of all the info, I would suggest for whoever need to talk to him, try facebook message.

On another hand, if you’re looking to buy a searing cue, I have one for sale. It does me no good, cause I don’t have the extension on it. Send me a pm if you like.

Hey Dennis,
It has been months since you called me as a result of this thread, and you said you would complete the cue
by end of this year, along with progress updates.

I‘m still waiting for an update on the cue.
Some pics of progress as we said.
I‘ve called, texted and emailed but have not heard back.

Awaiting update,
Will Prout

i feel your pain Will
sorry you and all the others have to go thru this
 
Dennis Searing must not care about his name, reputation, as this saga seems to be like reading the same book many times, you learn more each read, but basic story never changes.

Putting ones faith, money, or Cue repair is a gamble that your chance of being looser are high if dealer with SEARING.

Why would anyone do business with this guy if he is such a gamble to deal with?

One point is the word SEARING is a Cooking Term, when I grill a good Steak iI sear it on Both Sides to keep juice in, then finish on upper rack to perfecting. Searing is a BURNING, or Burning to keep flavor in. Seems Searing is just a guy who burns people like I burn the outside of a Steak.

Dealing with searing makes no sense to me in my World. JMHO

Ah, my dear Jason, do you recall the days of our pilgrimage to his little atelier, that sanctum of skill where he, the supposed maestro, ruled with such peculiar genius? Truly, he is the most gifted artisan; a virtuoso whose talents soar even as his principles slumber. Imagine my amazement when, after no small amount of pleading, he finally consented to create a cue for me—a task that took him two years of silent evasion, and the result was a cue so far removed from his promises it seemed as if conjured by whimsy. I sold it, of course. His response? An indignant tome of a text demanding a portion of my proceeds, to which I answered with the stoic silence he himself had taught me so well.

But here, my friend, lies the heart of my discourse: You are dealing with a man of peculiar sensibilities, to say the least—a creature perhaps fashioned more by quirks than by reason, who, if I may dare say, plays not with a full deck, someone clearly autistic. He has always been encircled by sycophants, cue dealers/scalpers, and wealthy devotees who lavish upon him the adoration usually reserved for kings or deities. Nits that wouldn’t bet water is wet. Yes, he produces a cue with splendid precision, flawless, one might say, if one enjoys the feel of wielding a leaden bar. Indeed, only a man with the steady arm of John Foster himself could render that cue playable.

You see, this eccentric artisan has no need, nor care, for worldly wealth. His spirit has never been moved by anything as vulgar as monetary gain. To entrust him with the timely fulfillment of your desires is as hopeful as handing one’s dreams to a poet and expecting them to materialize. You might as well have laid your expectations in the hands of the character Dustin Hoffman plays in Rainman.

I do extend my sympathies regarding your troubles, and my sincerest hopes that you have recovered from your recent ailments. As for his elusive cue? Allow me to suggest that you join the ranks of the resigned, for you stand in a long procession of those vexed and swindled. Perhaps I alone can claim to have once bested him in our dealings—a rare feat indeed.

Should you wish to bring him forth from his hidey-hole, public shaming may, on occasion, summon him to face his critics, though beware—the acolytes and fanatics that surround him may retaliate, for they would rather crucify you than see any stain upon their golden idol. There is a reason to the greatness of Balabushka beyond talent and execution; the likes of whose company he shall never keep in the legends and annuls of billiard history - excellent customer service.

I shall not invest my mortal energy in accumulating adequate knowledge of this unseemly situation. However, may I implore my good and noble sir....do please post more of your lovely prose more often, as the barren landscape that can be AZB flourishes and turns verdant with your words.
 
I, for one, will never own a Searing cue. We need to stand in solidarity to support those that have been wronged.

Unless anyone has one for sale on the cheap. If you have a Searing for sale cheap, please PM me.
 
it seems most know of the situation and still order cues and pay in advance then come on here or wherever and complain.

its not hard to vette a cuemaker and see lots of reviews of his work and complaints that you need to heed.

the old saying, "a fool and his money are soon parted" fits for pool players.
