You're not a business, you're a private seller. Escrow protects both sides of a private sale. If he sends you the cue back, he's at YOUR mercy, so escrow protects him. If you send the check directly to him, you're at HIS mercy, so escrow protects you. This is a service being offered for FREE...

For sale is the cue that shocked the gallery... lol. 17.5oz, lyptus shaft, Ivorine 4 ferrule, water buffalo tip, 3/8x10 joints, and a whole lot of character hahaha. Pics and back-story can be found here: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=199159 and here...

OB 108 cue for sale. 15.2oz butt, nearly new condition with very minor wear and rolls straight. (OB-1 not included) OB Classic Pro shaft is 4oz and also in nearly new condition with no dings and rolls straight. It has foam (a-la OB-2) instead of balsa wood like a standard OB Classic Pro. It...

Ryan (ratcues) Theewen does the best cork wraps I've ever seen. I had one installed on a cue I used to own, and I've seen many others he's done at events like SBE and the US Open 9-ball. Hard to find the seam without a microscope lol.

This is the gallery, post some pics if you're going to start a thread here (or ask for pics). I have 5, btw. OB-108 BHQ "Ugly" J/B J&J J/B Old dufferin sneaky (made in late 80's as a sneaky by Dufferin with the pin in the shaft) Hampton beater (free with an old Viking I got in 2004)

Heretic! Sorcerer!!! Dark Wizard!!!! Only dark magic can raise the dead! Burrrrrrn himmmmm!!!!! :grin-devilish: Actually, this is a cool thread. Respect between two cuemakers with reason for conflict. Love it.

Buy from a well-known cuemaker (well-known for quality, not just well-known) that has good resale. That way if you don't like it, you can always get your money back (and possibly more). I suggest Andy Gilbert, Keith Josey, or Darren Hill to start. I've only personally owned one from Keith...

That's how rare they are. You'll probably find more Justis fishing poles than cues.

I'm going to side with you on the actual rules, for sure, considering the above. It doesn't specify in the local rules, and therefore defaults to the BCAPL ruling. Very good point. However, the way to handle this was to call "foul" and ask for a ruling from the LO/president, like I said...

Never deal with people desperate for money. He freely admits he needed the money to survive... people in situations like that are at a much higher risk to do immoral/illegal things to get the money they need. This is why credit checks are performed for a large number of reasons. I'm not...

THIS is the right thing to do, IMO. Good job. Play with people you enjoy, life is too short for leagues lol.

It certainly is lol.

If it doesn't specifically DISALLOW it, then it's up to the league director (who should be on-call during matches) to make the call. You should call "Foul" (or some other statement paraphrasing "That's a foul.") and ask for a ruling from the director. It's a sucky situation, but walking out...

Do your own thing of course, you should create your own identity as a cuemaker. I offered my feedback as requested. I hope I didn't offend, I just have very strong distaste for unnatural stains. Put my feedback in context, I'm one of several hundred thousand custom cue owners. Maybe others...

If you can't tell that I'm not talking about veneers, then don't bother reading my posts in the future.

Why did you capitalize the "C" in "captain" multiple times?

It's not a problem with my eyes, it's a problem with your interpretation of my post. I hate blue and gray on their own, but I REALLY hate them together. I do in fact realize that they are not together in any of your cues. I hate them by themselves just fine, though ;) Specifically here: I...

No, it doesn't matter who made the butt. You should screw a shaft into a papaya and shoot with that.

I think you should line up the grain in the maple circles to be straight up/down. Also, don't use unnatural stains. I hate blue... and gray for that matter lol. Use purpleheart for purple, mulberry or yellowheart for yellow, etc. Avoid blue and gray at all costs, and NEVER combine them... I...

Some say he only emerges from his cave at the smell of wax-sealed exotic hardwoods... and doomed are those that venture in unannounced while he works, to be pulverized by the whirlwind of files, bits, calipers, clamps, and magic that makes his level of work efficiency possible.
