I have run into something new to me and would like more information from the Scruggs Experts. I have done some research on my own and will do more once I get some direction from y'all. I have been aware for some time that Scruggs was prolific in his production of Sneaky Petes, but until tonight...

Assuming that both parties are honest and above board, the key to it all, whether there is an escrow or not, is good, clear, communication, and the reduction of the oral dealings to a written agreement. So easy to say, but oftentimes so difficult to accomplish. One of the saddest experiences...

Escrow is an accepted and time honored method in those areas which have used it. Folks not accustomed to such are wary and understandably question it. Inexpensive transactions in which the parties are not familiar with each other would seem to be in the greatest need of a good inexpensive...

Did you google? Search AZB? Check Blue Book? In a short while, I found out a little bit. But, mainly, I figured out Chopdoc knows something about them. https://www.antiquebilliardtables.com/antique-ja-rieper-billiard-pool-cue-catalog/

ESCROW. But with whom? The existing outfit which, in my mind, would be perfect is Proficient Billiards. (Y'all hear Scot running for the back door, muttering under his breath . . . ?) Seriously. Proficient enjoys the trust of the Billiard World. It has vast experience in assessing cues...

I miss Tate. I wish he was still here. Maybe he is elsewhere, but I'm not. I've said it before, I will say it now, and I will probably say it again, "AZB lost a lot when it lost Tate." On the same subject, it is so good to have Chopdoc back.

I enjoy the "pool cue id" threads. Period. Gotta take the bad with the good. If one cares to look, it was my acquisition of a WHP and old leather case that finally tumbled me from the edge and into the cesspool. (So, how many idiots do I offset? LOL). Now, to my credit, I had researched...

Tell Cody that Garczar sent you and said he should take care of you. Works every time for me.

Raffle or auction one of Hall's cues + other donated cues? Other players and manufacturers should be standing in line to help. Whose cues did he play with? Someone made plenty of bucks off Hall using their cues and should be happy to contribute now. Hell, what about a line of commemorative...

Stated somewhat differently: Do we have a right to expect that we are being cared for in such a manner? Further, should AZB place "New Members" on a "restricted status" until they prove themselves? What percentage of the "New Members" stay and play, or are they, for the larger part, one and...

https://waynescuefix.weebly.com/ Halfway through there is an illustration AND there is a BUNCH of other info here. First time I ran into this. Be a good read tonight.

Do not further complicate a complicated subject. Crayons, please.

The problems arise from the fact that folks buy cues and hope that they may have a windfall in monetary terms. Monetary windfalls are fine and good, but I would never buy a cue for any price unless I fundamentally love it -- its design, its feel, its hit -- are, for me, the proper reasons to...

Here is my opinion. (But first, I took the "tomato stake" thread to be a farce -- he was pulling our legs. Maybe I am wrong.) Here. I detected that the OP showed "attitude" from jump street. He complains that he cannot get the answers he wants, as though his posting a query on the internet...

JAM: I stayed out of this cesspool for years. I joined 1P.net because I played the game and it was inhabited by humans. From AZB's activities at DCC, I knew there were some good folks here, but I just could not fade all of the testosterone fueled BS that I ran into every time I tuned in...

I want it, but I have spent a lifetime lusting after pool cue after pool cue. Rings remind me of Gold's, but they are not anywhere near on the same level.

"Rare" does not always translate into increased value. "Demand" makes the world go round.
