You little POS, I hope the good people of AZBilliards will go to court to
STAND UP FOR BRENT SUMMERS.
This entire thread makes AZBilliards look like
EZEXTORTIONBILLIARDS, what a screwed up place this has become to allow this crap.
Everybody says that, the chances that there is actually a lawyer is less than 10%.
Lets say there is a lawyer, a contingency guy won't pursue this, it's not worth his time,
a retainer for most civil lawyers for this would be probably more than the cue. For several
hundred you could probably get a civil lawyer to write a letter, make a call, but to take
this to litigation would cost more than the cue. $2800.00 is still a Small Claims matter,
you don't a lawyer for that and across state lines, that can be pretty pricey.
This $2800 cue just became a $10000 (or more) cue.
A lawyer? that's really rich. Somehow it makes people feel better to threaten that, or to
really consider it for a minute, then reality takes hold.
Brent said he'd refund you, there's no argument there. Lets say you did sue, in about a couple
of months you'll have your first settlement conference, no deal will be reached,
several months later there'll be another one, and if you're lucky in 3 or so years there will be a trial,
that I might add you're not terribly likely to win. But lets say you do win -
the judge will order him to pay you back if you no longer want the cue. The will be no award of
attorneys fees because there was a settlement offer (he offered a refund early on, remember?)
so he'll be ordered to pay you back, in payments. Several months later you'll get the first $200
payment and about 2 years later you'll be made complete. That'll be in about April 2027.
All this for a $2800 cue that cost you about $12000 after the refund and you still have no cue.
A lawyer? That's really rich, fuggedaboudit! there's no lawyer
