This is far from done.

Did Tran open and repackage or just relabel? If the latter, how can he represent as to contents?

Yes, we agree. That was for Tran.

. . . not a middleman? WTF.

Get a grip. I was trying to help. But you are one of those who is smarter than I am. Rave on.

You may not like this, but . . . Why not send direct to refinisher? Need for you as a middleman? What do you get out of it? You need to decide if you are running a business, if so . . . record keeping (better) needed, correspondence (better) needed, and require contents lists on all packages...

Stumbling around tonight, I found two related threads on the Greenleaf Cue. The photos in the one below are really good. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/vintage-and-rare-ralph-greenleaf-cue.574323/

Half empty/half full. I was appreciating the fact that it was a full and not a half splice/inlay. Even worse, I have learned some folks use decals. The more I see, the more I learn.

Put South Americans on that list. Happiest pool I ever "played" -- no pockets=can't miss.

This is a very unscientific sampling but it shows what it shows . . . https://www.poolinaction.com/2025-Tournaments/2025-Derby-City-Classic/i-VmXWTf4

These are encouraging reports. What about tournament participation? Does DCC seem "white" to y'all? I understand the "neighborhood" deal. Around here though if you want to get to a serious pool hall, you are forced to travel. At present this means 90 miles one way to NOLA. I am not sure...

I rarely see black folks in the pool halls and tournaments. I know in the past we had "black" pool halls and "white" pool halls. When I think about DCC, it is pretty "white". Anyone have any insight?

The escrow agents follow the instructions/contract between the parties and the escrow agreement between the agent and the parties -- any conflicts are resolved prior to escrow beginning. Like all things in life, you pay for what you get. The problem area is the low cost cue. The reputation...

Trust no one unless you know them well, but even then . . . There are too many dirt bags and they don't come with labels on their foreheads. As one can tell, I prefer escrow, but I am accustomed to it. Until or unless a lot of people in the trade become used to escrow, everyone will have to...

It took me nearly five years to get back to this, but . . . As much as I don't like technological advances, whoever first had the idea of a crossing a camera and a telephone did us a real solid. Now if we can just get everyone's attention back on each other, perhaps other incredible ideas...

The weather is way too hot and nasty to venture out so I am at home going through my cues and the one which keeps calling to me and I find myself assembling, again and again, is my Butterfly Challenge. It took some time to get the cue, have Anton produce a set of joint protectors, and, finally...

expensive Asian import. where do these folks keep coming from?

Do you recall the shop's inventory and/or price's re Plain Janes when you visited? Was there any attempt to "upsell" you?

So who was buying the sneakys? The daughters?

Good to know. Really good to know. But what about Scrugg's Plain Janes? Surely, enjoying the access you did . . . Thanks for your reply. It really is good information for us all to have. What occurs to me is that it is a simple hop, skip, and jump* from a Sneaky Pete to a Plain Jane, and...
