If there is a time when you need to park a cue that you may want back, let me know.
Stay in touch.

I definitely feel for the OP. I was in a similar situation and I just received the cue I sold back today. I had actually read the original post before my cue was delivered. Thankfully, my cue was still in great condition and I can't wait to get out of class so I can go hit a few balls with it. I'm glad that Mr. Tucker is taking care of you because I know exactly how distraught I would be if this happened to me!
What the heck did he try to do with the collar ?
Heat it up to replace it then changed his mind ?
Makes ya wonder, doesn't it??
According to the seller, it wasn't like that when he shipped it to me.
I explained to him that one of two things happened.
1. It was EXACTLY like this when he shipped it.
2. A tiny USPS Gremlin was inadvertently sealed inside the box...complete with tiny rock hammer and blowtorch...and went to town on the cue for 10 days while in-transit to me.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that option 1 is the correct choice.
But, hey....he got his money, right?
That really sucks Mark. This place never ceases to amaze me.
Last week I offered a cue in trade for another cue + cash. The other party comes back and says I can't add cash to my cue for the cue you are offering, but asks... what about another cue on your site + X amount of cash for my cue... I say sure, that sounds fair. He comes back later and says I found out my cue is worth more than I thought so I am backing out of my offer. But he goes on to say he will trade his cue for the original cue I offered but is has to be a straight up trade... I really liked his cue so I agreed and said let's do it!
He sends a PM back stating, and I quote, "We have a deal". We make shipping arrangements last Friday to ship out on Monday and all is good. Sunday I get a PM and he says, I got a better cash offer on the cue and I'm backing out of our deal!!! It wasn't like he asked... hey, I really need cash and I got a full cash offer. I know we have a deal and will stick to my word if you really want the cue, but I would appreciate it if you would let me sell it for cash, it would really help me out.
No... it was just... I got a better offer I'm backing out. I can't tell you how many times I have agreed to a trade or trade + cash, only to get a full cash offer right after I made the deal. But I have never backed out of a deal without asking the other party and giving them final option. When is a deal a deal anymore... and when will people start backing up their sales???? It is getting out of hand.
Props to you Murray for helping out a great AZ'er. That's the way it is supposed to happen.

Just send it to me and all will be right with the world again.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY, KIDS:
DO YOUR HOMEWORK. KNOW WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH. DON'T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED, AND TAKE NOTHING ON FAITH (OR HOPE)...UNLESS YOU HAVE A SOLID HISTORY WITH THE PERSON YOU'RE DOING BUSINESS WITH.
