Just trying to be realistic, not rude... Why would someone spend 300 on an off joss when they could get a true production joss for less? Or a gold letter for the same price? Like I did twice because of the hype and I don't even use either. Why did you get a different cue? Not on the joss bandwagon? Karella? It's like buying beer from walgreens. It may be alright, but the name isn't there. My bad, just saying (and agreeing) that that's a lot of money to spend when you could get a great cue anywhere for less.... Forgive me OP, but you should say 150, I made a mistake buying this cue. And then deal with it. I can get a joss for less than 200 anyday. Sorry, just sick of people thinking that 300 bucks is nothing when you can do so much more with it than buy a pool cue. I'm sure you're a stand up (or sit down guy from your photo) ....I'm just saying be realistic here, it will not sell for 300, ,give somebody a good deal if it's a good cue!
