Or inspect ON DELIVERY and return if not happy. Story sound kinda familiar?
For the second time you avoided my question. But I'll answer yours....
Yes Master. I have learned. So if a new table has a reasonable flaw and can be fixed.... Maybe the top rail or skirt can be replaced the buyer should reject the table instead of waiting for a replacement part?
I'm just jacking with 'ya brother. If i ordered a NEW Diamond i'd inspect the shit out of it. They'd either take it back or replace the bad part. If i ordered a used tournament model(which is what i'd do) i wouldn't worry about a few bumps/dents/etc. A friend bought a tourn. table and saved around 2grand.
We're cool. New is new...used is used. ( I made that up myself).
Far enough... However your thoughts on the display lottery have no bearing on the acceptance of the flaw, if we stuck to the point. Consider that the only way to convert your display lottery explaination to the purchase of a new table would something along the lines of being that the brand new table happened to flat/level, have the right colour cloth and put on correctly, and the pockets being sized to requested spec, after the install was done. Any of those items are not luck of the draw so to speak and acceptable regardless. They are "must be's" or it's simply not acceptable.
That's cool... ...and I would as well depending on the location and severity.
If i went that route there would be compensation of some sort. Free cover, better set of balls, $$, something.
I bet you go straight for the sushi or snow / Dungeness crab legs at seafood buffets.
I clean the place out. They owe me.I bet you go straight for the sushi or snow / Dungeness crab legs at seafood buffets.
If some in this thread spent any time over at the AVS Forums, they'd realize what a big deal the panel lottery actually is.
Exactly my thoughts as well... Of course, and apologies for beating this dead horse, my opinion ain't worth shit...lol
See, I'm not the type of person to buy such a cue. I care about playing and I'd rather have a plain jane cue (like I do now) that shoots great. Why pay $3k for a stick that shoots no better than a $600 one? In other words, it's different markets, a fancy cue has to look perfect, even if it plays perfect, it plays no better than a cheaper cue without inlays. You are literally buying art, not a utilitarian tool.
Not a better man, just one broken enough to know I can't worry about everything or I'll go nuts.
I would probably return it, but I'm not the type of person to buy high end cues. I'm more utilitarian in most things. I like plain cues, probably a good thing because I can't really justify the extra funds for looks on my budget.
I'm not cheap per se, but I don't like spending for looks.I agree, I don't think OP did anything wrong, but it may have been a good idea to talk to them first, but it's probably because I know the drama that can exist here.
I can speak for myself here, as I played with the same $600 cue for my entire pool life up until very recently, when I happened to drop just over $3000k....lol

Pool tables... yeah you want it to look perfect, especially if you dropped $$$ on it, but a pool table is not a work of art. It's utilitarian. If it plays good I could let a lot slide on the looks department. I'm not talking OP's experience, just in general.

I'm with both of you. I'm just fine with my below $700 cues. But my question still remains partially unanswered. IF YOU WERE THE TYPE TO BUY SUCH A CUE, WOULD YOU NOT EXPECT PERFECTION??? It's a very simple question. It has a simple answer.... either way.See, I'm not the type of person to buy such a cue.
