    Pro Billiard Series - Las Vegas Men's Open 10ball live now

    Sorry I thought they were the same event. I was talking about the Vegas event, not the one in Florida.

    They said 4 1/2" sides and 4 1/8" corners. Triple tough!

    Pro Billiard Series - Las Vegas Men's Open 10ball live now

    I'm watching Patsura vs. Lechner now on Youtube. First round and two great players matching up. I happen to enjoy the commentary of J. Schmidt and Erik H. from Canada. They stick to the match and know their stuff. I like their clear voices and the humble way they talk about themselves. They both...

    Shipping has become quite expensive these days. I do have a batch of posters left. I'd send you a bunch of them (ten, twelve or more good ones) for $100. I'll pay the shipping.

    Still here, but we are preparing to relocate later this year. In the process of buying a new home there, with room for a pool table!

    Thank you Steve. I've always considered you a friend and don't hold anything against you for the comments you've made here. Very true that you didn't witness any of the sequence of events surrounding this transaction. I did and commented on them and the buyer who also has posted on AZB remains...

    Does anyone know Wayne Yates from Mechanicville, VA

    Not so. I just want to out him for his failure to take any responsibility for the damage done to the cue in the way he packed and shipped a beautiful and expensive cue back to me. His failure to even communicate kind of sealed the deal for me and caused me to post about this experience.

    You left out the most important part Steve. The cue was seriously damaged between the time Yates received it and it got back to me. I got back damaged goods! You wouldn't like it either if that happened to you.

    It did not arrive to him with the damage shown here. It arrived in near perfect condition I thought I had posted this on here earlier but I guess not. Pls check out my thread Sigel Cue for sale from January of this year. You will see on there pics of the cue as it was when it was sent to Yates...

    He did contact me and sent me the attached video. Look carefully for the so called "scuff" marks. He told me at that time he was filing a complaint with Paypal and requesting a full refund. These minute marks have absolutely nothing to do with the subsequent damage done to the cue. The hinges...

    Great Pool Room Stories

    Great story Billy. Reminds me of the time I was gambling with a professor from Cal State Santa Barbara. He loved to play Straight Pool and would bet 100 a game. I rarely if ever played 14.1, only to practice once in a while. I tried to get him the play 9-Ball but nothing doing. Finally I agreed...

    Sigel cue sale

    I want to thank Mensabum for bailing me out on this cue deal gone wrong. He offered to buy the damaged cue from me for a reduced price just so I didn't have to deal with it. He did not need the cue, just felt like it would help me forget about how angry I was. He was right, so thanks buddy!

    Beware of Wayne Yates

    That's him. I deleted my pics after the sale. I found some on a thread for the cue I ran on here. Look for the Mike Sigel Cue thread and the posts of pics made on Jan. 13th of this year.

    Does anyone know Wayne Yates from Mechanicville, VA

    No he did not! When I showed him the pics of the damaged cue in the cheap case he blocked me on FB, where we had been communicating during the purchase. He knows he is responsible for the damage to my cue but chooses to hide rather than accept any responsibility and try to make it right. Wayne...

    I’ve tried all that. He went dark on me when I showed him the pics of the damaged cue. Must not have taken out any insurance. He KNOWS he is responsible! The PayPal resolution center will not accept any communication from me. They consider the case closed.

    Does anyone know Wayne Yates from Mechanicville, VA

    Good response here. I shipped it to him in a carefully packed box with adequate protection wrapped around the cue. He sent it back in a cheap $10 cue case. On closer inspection I can see that the cue could easily move around inside the case and there are two exposed hinges where the damage...

    Does anyone know Wayne Yates from Mechanicville, VA

    It's impossible to speak to a real person on Paypal! Their AI just keeps looping you back around and around on their website during disputes and so called resolutions. You are forced to navigate their system to make a response or even offer proof of your claim. Their Chat assistant also does the...

    Does anyone know Wayne Yates from Mechanicville, VA

    Sigel's hand signed signature is still okay at the base of the butt. I realize my mistake now in letting him pay me via regular Paypal channels. He is probably a reseller and had a buyer waiting for the cue. Somehow Yates damaged the cue and his only out was to blame me and complain to Paypal...

    Does anyone know Wayne Yates from Mechanicville, VA

    He screwed me on a cue sale. I sold him an original Mike Sigel signature cue for $1,000 in perfect, like new condition. After he got the cue he decided he didn't want it and complained to Paypal that it had scratches on it. He then sent me back my cue with severe damage to the butt. Paypal gave...
