Guys, Personal advice on how to sell a cue or improve its value would be more appreciated if done via PM. Many sellers do not appreciate a thread being 'bumped' ahead of theirs by folks neither considering buying or selling. Please respect everyone and use PM's when they will suffice. Thanks...

OK, cool! Just did not want anything to harm the party! See y'all there!

Freddy, does Harrah's know you are coming with this? My concern is that wagering between two players in not considered gambling in most states as it is a test of skill, not luck, and each player has the ability to affect the outcome. But once railbirds start betting then it becomes gambling...

Smokey, I will have to find out and get back to you. I know we did this before but do not remember how. I will PM you when I find out. As for the address in afghanistan: Brian Gibbs WWLR Postal Apo Ae 09382 He is a contractor, not a soldier, and wants everyone to know that. But if we send...

Brian sent me a PM with a very few very modest requests. Brian, it goes out to you on Monday. Thank you for representing our country.

Brian, Afghanistan! Man, I really appreciate you. Do you guys have a table over there? If so, what do you need? Cues? A new set of Aramith balls? Chalk? DVD's of great play? Tell me what you need and give me a mailing address to send it. I am sure a few phone calls can get me whatever you...

Thank you all so very, very much. This will let us bring you so much more stuff. I hope to see you all at the Derby and I do sincerely hope that fortune smiles upon you. My toast to you: "May I live a thousand years and all of you a thousand plus one minute that I may never suffer a moment's...

Well, didn't this train run off the tracks. Uh, guys, look. We really do not take down threads in vengeance or to pick on any one individual. We take them down because someone screws them up or breaks the rules. And I an seriously not going to spend time trying to investigate why an individual...

The DCC, to my knowledge, has never aired on ESPN but they have referenced it on Sportscenter and other talk type shows. Feel free to correct me if they have ever aired any matches.

Greg is a very impressive guy. Many of the innovations he has brought to pool tables are "common sense" to him but were never done until he came along. Now manufacturers like Brunswick are copying his ideas. Before Greg pool tables had metal on the top rail that damaged cue sticks and...

John Barton of JB cases has made an extraordinary gesture for the February Gold Giveaway. He has made us cases that are exclusive for AZB Gold Members and that will be given away as part of the Gold Mine Giveaways. Next month we will be giving away five JB cases and they are all collectibles...

The Derby City Classic starts next weekend and the founder, Greg Sullivan, just spent a day in my home talking about the history of the event and the trials and tribulations of running such an event. Greg has a lot of interesting things to say. Read all about it HERE.

Winning first or second only precludes you from winning that exact spot again for 6 months. After that you can win that spot again. And if you won 1st you are still eligible for 2-5 for that 6 months. The only reason we put the 6 months in there is that we did not want the same person winning...

AZBilliards has a request for those of you who are active in the Wanted/For Sale Forum. Like most every other pool-related business in America our costs of doing business continue to rise while our revenues do not. As any other business we have to examine and discuss all possible revenue...

First, this is just an idea to get a willing buyer and a willing seller together. Nothing more. And no, AZB is in no way responsible if either the buyer or seller gets burned as we are not making anything off of this and so have no reason to bear responsibility. Next, this is obviously not for...

Because I got this request from the other side of the equation. A stakehorse told me he has friends who might be interested in a sort of bidding process. And they are not that picky about which player. They know the players and know the odds of course so I am sure they would be willing to invest...

Folks, If anyone would like to get in on the action at Derby by being a stake-horse the opportunity is there. With the dearth of pool ahead players are looking to save on expenses any way possible. If you would like to stake a player at DCC please just post here or PM me with the following...
