I wonder what it sold for.

I used mix it up regularly but found that if I spend longer periods of time with cues, like a month, I tend to bond better with them. That way when I do switch it doesn’t feel like a fresh cue. It’s like revisiting a familiar face.

Maybe he inadvertently gave you red? I don’t know the post in question. I mean... we have words. Why not contact him and ask? I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with him. He’s a solid guy. Second chances?

This happened to my father in laws table. In his case heat and humidity made it worse. We started taking them off after each day. No issues since.

Jim is a great guy. We should try to be more inviting to members with vast knowledge who are an asset to this community.

Thanks for that. Good site.

Damn. The scamming is really going around.

Great cue. I’ve been looking for an ebony for some time. I admit that I’d be one tempted to convert. I’ve got rough rosewood one on my bench that is going to be more work than I really want to put into it so I’ve put it off.

So my guy uses a PO Box for an address. I never picked up on it. You can’t serve a PO Box. So I was just out the money. Tried to get his parole officer to give the time of his check in so I could serve him but they wouldn’t disclose.

This guys name is Robert Emery. So unfortunately not the same guy.

Scams are crazy these days. I got scammed by a contractor for 2k earlier this year. I didn’t let it go and started down the rabbit hole. Turns out he’s scammed people all over Texas for well over 100k over the last couple of years. All while being out on parole. Unbelievably the guy is still...

Damn. I don’t wire transfer to anyone that’s not family. Can’t be undone.

Can you share more info? How far along are you etc.

I don’t think it’s just one guy. These types of scams have circulated car and guitars forums I frequent.

Yep. I’ve often wondered why we don’t see “relic’d” cues yet. Relic-ing guitars and patina vehicles are all the rage these days. That cue would look better with some relicing especially that sticker.

That’s a shame. RIP

After this story I’ve never wanted to see a plain Jane more.

Yeah I feel you. I’d argue ball in hand isn’t a break and he’s not entitled to a foul under the ruse that it’s a break. If I’m understanding correctly. Perhaps consecutive fouls is a lose etc. Maybe if some of your other teammates agree with you it could be addressed as a team. But again...

You were outsmarted. You should adapt and overcome. With that said if it’s not important to you to solve dealing with an a-hole I wouldn’t blame you for passing on playing him the next time. For me I’d solve his gimmick. If you’re the better player you should be able to get back over on him.

This is not to criticize anyone’s methods or beliefs but as a hobbyist builder and my own personal opinion I like 3/8-10 for two reasons. For me, When making a cue, inserts are a pain to install, it’s extra work I don’t feel doing. Pin to wood has always felt a little more natural to me...
