Yes, and as per our policy you have 48 hours to look the cue over, hit balls, and make sure it's what I told you it was or your money back. Which is why I don't take G/S payments. My 25 years, my partners near 40 years, I think we'll be here a while. (To the dismay of some lol :) ) JV

As a buyer I had no protection except to set up a sting on my own. Law enforcement, ebay, Paypal they do not care. The moral of the story, you are better off buying from someone you know, that has skin in the game, OR has great community feedback. Seller made a mistake Joe

As a person that is primarily a seller, its not just the fee. Not all scumbags are sellers. All you need is ONE buyer that says he doesn't like your cue then sends you a cheap Taiwanese cue for your $ 2000.00 dollar custom. To Paypal, its just a cue, and the buyer sent you back something. You...

The easiest way to catch a nit is make a special shaft, charge 200 for it, then 6 months later make a second generation and charge 250 for it, then 6 months later make a third generation and charge 300 for it, then it 6 months make a whole new shaft and call it something else and charge 350 for...

BTW the first 714 purchasers are entered into a cue raffle for his cue... just keeping it factual.

You want to know what is wrong with pool, you T-Rex armed nitballs. The guy runs 714 balls, decides to do a fairly inexpensive commemorative package and you don't support an accomplishment like this. You are the same people that bring your own water bottle into a pool hall to save 1.25 on a...

Someone told me a long time ago... Niche' markets are always dangerous. At least pool is a continuing sport that relies on participation and will have its ebbs and flows. Somewhere there is a storage locker of Beanie Babies and Precious Moments that someone did not get out of in time.

Ernie made the cues, after the ban, so he got the "smuggling" attachment because it's a good sound bite. There is no question to the chain of custody, those two nitwits boarded a plane with a duffle bag of ivory in a lockdown state, and a Federal Trade Restriction. It is rumored there was a lot...

There is so much misinformation regarding the ivory laws it's out of control. First, your states law supersedes the federal law with the exception of import and export violations. All the state laws are lock down laws, I have not seen any that were not. This means you can give it to your kids, a...

They likely do a blacklight check. Real ivory glows. JV

The Blue Books are only useful for pictorials. The last publication is 15 years old. Try and buy a Hemi Cuda with a 15 year old Hemmings and let me know how accurate it is. Just pay attention on sites, and look around. Best advice. The Encyclopedia's are good reference also. JV

People on the left that bemoan gun violence, padding their own pockets promoting gun violence. Only in America...

Possibly an Adam Blackstone

It feels like one to, when you sell one, even when you follow the law. JV

That is correct. Many of the states that implemented their own bans included extinct or fossil ivories. JV

BTW if you want to determine if your cue has ivory. Get an inexpensive UV blacklight. The ivory will have a bright translucent glow. This is how it is checked at check points if there is a question. JV

As of 7/6/2016 a Federal ivory ban was put into place. What this meant is that nothing new was supposed to be made using ivory after that date. There is no distinction after this point about pre-ban, etc. Any cue made after this date, with ivory, ANYWHERE is technically contraband. All sales of...

The trouble with the internet tied up into one thread. JV

To get real Cortland 9-27 white with green spec will cost you whatever you end up buying the material for. I would say 100-150 maybe plus install. Would anyone know the difference between this and newer linen from a playing standpoint if they were blindfolded?

The bigger issue is most people will take a law that is complicated and try to reword it, so it fits whatever they need it to fit. The ivory laws are very clear, it may take a time or two, but it isn't rocket science. I took a quick trip to the FS section, and it took me 11 seconds to find an...
