Why are we not seeing more pictures of new cues in the Gallery Section

Have cue makers slowed down or even stopped building cues?

It seems you never see new cues being built and shown off here anymore.

What's the deal?

Thanks

There is a Gallery section that used to be pretty active with new builds and new buys. Now it is mostly crickets. Thank god Bob Owen is still building, showing and selling cues. At least he is one maker still very active in production.

Overall the entire forum is OVERRUN with NPR posts and it is almost depressing to come here anymore. That being said I am not giving up hope.

Let's see some new cues please.

Thanks

What we are witnessing is what amounts to a loss of interest & participation on this site.
This may be the beginning of the end which would be just awful but social media has
absolutely impacted the overall approach to cue sales/marketing in the secondary market

I think it's an overload

I think azb has about reached an overload, same thing over and over and over and over.

I still build cues and post a few in display and in the for sale section, but most are on facebook.

Pics

From people I have spoken to that posted pics in both the Gallery and sales section now say it is too hard to post their pics.

When they don't know that you can upload photos right to your azbilliards profile

There REALLY needs to be a sticky in this

The California regs on ivory haven't exactly helped the cue market.

I am not putting out any pictures of my cues anymore. To many hackers and thieves out there. Some time ago, a person came on the cue gallery asking about a SW cue that a person was selling in Viet Nam. Had pictures of the cue from a pool forum in Siagon. The SW cue in the picture was mine and in my possession. Pin number match and all. He lifted pics of my cue from Photobucket and was scamming folks to make a sale on something he didn't have.

I've posted a few of my cues in the past... I regret it. I really don't want people to know what I have which is about nothing.

Looks like an -R- 360 in the works

I think the whole Photobucket debacle really knocked a lot of people out of posting images. It became more difficult to post them, at least from mobile. I use Imgur now but it was easier with photobucket.

That, plus the move to social. The Facebook groups have quite a bit of activity these days. It too bad because I prefer the forum setup to FB, but since so many people are already on FB for other things it's in front of them a lot more often probably. It's also super easy to post pictures to FB right from your phone (which is likely also your camera).

There you have it
Deanoc was ahead of his time by refusing to post pictures

Either that or he couldn't figure it out

I think he comes from a time before pictures.

The gallery is not just for new cues. Old, new, anything you want to show off.

What has happened?

The sewer of the internet: Facebook.

If the internet needed an enema, you would shove the tube in Facebook.

IMHO, of course.

and like that, im buying a super plain jane player

i just sold 2 cases yesterday, down to one

guess that means i get to buy another case now!

GoldCrown · Feb 27, 2018

Me... I'm done. I'm cured. Have not bought a cue worth posting since 2016.

I still post in "Show Your Palmers" but of other cues, I must admit that I don't post everything I acquire and I am a supporter of AZ Billiards over Facebook.

Why are we not seeing more pictures of new cues in the Gallery Section
