    Very good condition Revo and Sport 2 butt won’t sell for $590 — Why?

    I know eBay claims that seller must provide buyer with item that had been described for sale. I am not acquainted with how much luck a buyer has in succeeding with eBay's guarantee. Tell us your experience.

    There is some protection. If you buy that but he gives you this? You get money back. If he sends you a McDermott, you get your money back. If he sends you something that does not match the photos? You get your money back. I am not sure who pays return postage for the mis-identified cue.

    Cue & Shaft Construction - Do You Care?

    Title? Availability? Or maybe copy a few pages on glues and attach as an adobe file?

    Very good condition Revo and Sport 2 butt won’t sell for $590 — Why?

    How easy is it to tell the shaft is not a Revo? No dealer sells the Sport 2 butt alone, correct? What do you mean no shipping, no tax? Doesn't Rhino charge for shipping? Who sells new without tax?

    Is that Jacoby or some other cue maker?

    Very good condition Revo and Sport 2 butt won’t sell for $590 — Why?

    My take on this: Buyers will buy Predator cues with at least a 25% discount like this one. Buyers did not buy this one, however, because of the following: Christmas time is not the time for selling items that are not gifts (see Zerksies) To get that top price for used Predator cues, the cue...

    I figured that since Predator is a leader of non-wood technology, its butts would not be wood (like the Rhino stuff that only look like wood?). Some of the Predator butts are wood, though they use a non-Schmelke approach using a wood casing and a wood core.

    Very good condition Revo and Sport 2 butt won’t sell for $590 — Why?

    eBay had auction of used Revo and Sport 2 Predator butt with minimum bid of $550 plus $36 for shipping or a buy-it-now price of $820 (incl. shipping). No bids made and auction ended with no sale. Don’t Revo cues sell for more than this? The seller has relisted it; this might be the second...

    Joe Tucker’s Third Eye Stroke Trainer

    I will try the feathering as a means of ensuring good aim. I will watch the English fellow on YouTube, too. As far as the full-on practice stroke not being able to detect if I am off or not? The full-on practice stroke seems to give me a better idea if the cue stick is aligned with aiming...

    Cue & Shaft Construction - Do You Care?

    You are sensible and logical but players love some of the CF/maple combos: Mezz EX Pro, Defy, and claim the hit is great. EDIT: not the McDermott Defy, it's McDermott's i-Pro,I-1, I-2, I-3, and G-Core
