I sell preowned clothes and wool is one of my main specialties, I use the exact same fabric shaver as DeadStick with rechargeable batteries and it's by far the best fabric shaver but it has a guard like hair clippers to limit the depth it shaves. I would try to use a lint roller on a small part...

If they respect you they will listen to you, start with what they need to address first and explain how it will upgrade their game/progress (pocketing percentage ect.) . If they are receptive towards that then move on to the next thing that will add more to their arsenal. Pick out a drill that...

Paul Newman won an oscar for TCOM as a supporting actor and he was the star of the best pool movie ever, 25 years apart nonetheless. Having Scorsese as a director surely helped but winning an oscar in a pool movie is a great accomplishment. 100 years from now or 1000 years from now Newman's...

Not so much gambling but I played in a partners 8 ball tourney for years that I won a lot of money in. One stretch I won it 6 weeks in a row by playing very basic 8 ball strategies with a little bit of luck, this wasn't scotch so I pretty much had to manage my partners shot selection until I...

Earl sees the shot(s) instantaneously 98% of the time, this is very intriguing.

I sell a lot of shoes and people with foot problems will wear Hoka one's and there's a newer brand called Kuru that's specifically for plantar fasciitis but both are expensive. A guy I play pool with has bad neuropathy and switched from a boot to Skechers memory foam shoes, the yoga/goga mat...

I don't really mess with pawn shops but have a 1000+ trips to thrift stores each year. I buy and resell shoes, clothes, accessories, sporting goods and electronics and I've never found a cue in 5-6 years that would sell for over $30. In that same amount of time I've found 100+ tennis rackets...

Top notch match, top notch players with top notch commentary. I had read several stories about Toby but had never seen him play, him and the Miz both still had lots of game in their 50's. It's a shame that this or no other senior tour has taken off. Billy, Grady (RIP) and Jeremy Jones are the...

I am from SW Indiana and the small town next to my hometown has a big beer garden festival in mid june that will typically have around 500 people. They postponed it until mid september but had to cancel it a few days ago because of Indiana social distancing guidelines. Indiana had been on a...

Most clothes these days are made in China low and high end stuff too, countries that I tend to pass on are manufactured in random countries like India or Bangladesh (or even Italy just to make them seem high end) although India has a few exceptions that have brands w a low supply w a high...

Jay you are one of my favorite posters on here and I love your books but I will disagree about TJMaxx or Burlington Coat Factory selling knockoff products. There's a huge yard sale here in Central Indiana that actually got busted by the feds because one vendor was selling fake purses so I don't...

I've had a similar situation on a $100 item that showed as delivered then the buyer said they never got it and it went to an item not received case and because the tracking showed that it was delivered I won. I also had another time when my paypal account got frozen for 6 months with $1,500 in...

I ship thousands of packages a year via USPS, typically I will get an issue like this with maybe 1 to 3 out of every 1000 that either gets lost at the post office, or at some other hub on the way or it will get sent to the wrong hub then bounce back. Calling is an absolute waste of time, the...

I sell a lot of stuff on Ebay and in general Ebay sales are up because Amazon is DOA but pool cues are a very niche market and you can't sell most preowned items on Amazon. The fact that most/all people who sell higher end/custom cues are mom and pop type businesses and most are online already...

Zep Fresh Odor Control Concentrate can be used to deodorize or clean anything besides wood basically. I use it to deodorize clothes/shoes I sell on Ebay even clothing that's new. It's one of the best cleaner/deodorizers I've ever used and it's a concentrate so it's very cheap. My dad's rent...
