    pool cue once in a lifetime buy

    Normally I’d say it’s best to be straight with people. If it were a one to one transaction or some widow, then definitely. It’s a yard sale though. This is expressly where you shop to find gems. It’s not like it was worth 10k. I say enjoy the deal.

    You know what annoys the hell out of me. People who complain about other seeking information. As if there’s some kind of crucible one should go through before daring to ask a community for their thoughts. On a message board of all places. OP’s account is the same age as an infant but acts like...

    Sorry to hear about your friend. Sounded like a great guy to have in the community.

    Are the new Tariffs on Goods from China going to affect prices on Pool cues?

    Take all this and partner it up with making enemies of our two closest allies and trade partners. All while not having significant manufacturing infrastructure. On the hope that… It’ll come. One day.

    🤦 even locally built or assembled products have Chinese parts in them. For example, every single automobile on the road. You’re wanting to boycott products because our government applied a tax on US citizens. You’re next level tone deaf if you can’t figure it out by now.

    To rephrase. You’re suggesting that it’s a good thing to tax the working class (125% in some cases) as a means to motivate the upper wealth to create manufacturing. 😂. Had our government outright said they were going to tax the piss out of the working class to see if it motivates people to...

    That’s a reach even for you. I don’t need to be desperate and homeless to want shelter. We don’t need to run our economy into the ground and have the working class carry the burden of this tax so our government can find motivation for manufacturing. We don’t need a tariff to create...

    I don’t think anyone is against tariffs altogether. It’s the implementation and how it’s being used in this market. For example had we built up manufacturing here first, started production and then wanted to use tariffs to steer our economy back into itself I would see no problem with that...

    This is a great example. High prices are okay. Just accept it. No one should be arguing over higher prices 🙄. Here have a warm glass of koolaid.

    Hell yeah. I know I would hate to pay 125% less for the everyday shit I buy from Amazon. More than anything bro. I really want to pay more for car parts. Need a 10 dollar latch for my Ford for 24 bucks. That’s winning. 3 dollar light switch cover from Home Depot that is now 7 dollar. Take my...

    I wish you all the best. The same group of geriatrics that tout “hard work pays off” are the ones who think what’s happening is a good thing. It’s more spiteful ignorance than anything. I hope you come out on top. Hard for me to believe this is temporary. If the country wakes up tomorrow...

    Wanting advice from the cuemakers please 🙏

    I don’t mind a house cue or worn look. Honestly I’ve never been motivated to refinish a cue unless there’s significant damage or something that would impede playability. I’ve seen patina vehicles with gloss clear over the patina. Honestly I hate that look. At least make it a matte clear so it...

    People pay a fortune for “relic’d” guitars. Real patina is highly sought after. Been happening in the classic car industry for little while too. Strangely has not made its way into the cue world.

    I've had a number of heart surgeries and been cut up a ton of times. If you're anything like most people you're going to be hyper sensitive to every heart flutter, palpitation, rush of adrenaline and any little heart related pump or bump you can think of. Don't let those things freak you out...

    I don’t believe tariffs with replace income tax. However the wealthy would benefit greatly from that proposal. Since we, the people, feed the market we will be the ones covering all the costs. It’ll be sold as a pay raise when in reality it’ll be a net loss for most of us.

    That’s wonderful but if our foreign competitors are forced to raise costs on us significantly this company will likely raise prices as well. Why wouldn’t they? No one is going to undercut the market. They will simply raise their prices because anything else is just leaving money on the table...
