18 pages deep and this thread has completely gone off the rails.
This isn't an argument of how one cue maker may charge $100 for a scope of work and someone with a higher profile may charge $300. That is a known thing that happens in the world. Same as if I go down to the grocery store and compare prices between "Honey Nut Cheerios" and "Honey Nut O's" They're more or less the same thing but only one of them has General Mills written on it so it will cost more.
The intended point of this thread was that Dean advertised that the Jackpot cues were being made by someone, sold them, and then revealed that he had LIED about the details he originally posted. This bait and switch sales tactic is the same as if I said I'll sell you a box of Cheerios for $5/box but really sold you a $1 box of Honey Nut O's. Regardless of whether that cereal was the best thing you've ever eaten, it doesn't make me less of a scumbag for selling you on one thing but delivering something else.
That's it, that's the argument. Regardless of how you feel about Dean, you should be able to admit that what he did is wrong and worth the condemnation he is receiving. If you can't, well I have a few boxes of Cheerios to sell you...
