Am I going to Hell for this?

Let me ask an expert....

I happen to know someone who is a heaven/hell expert so I thought I'd relay this question to him via live satellite connection.

Without knowing your specifics, he gave me a few options to relay back to you.....

If you are.....

A) Jewish... figures you'd covet another man's possessions without paying for eet. Like zee rest of your occupying people, you're going to the hell no matter what... so you might as well buy eet.

B) Christian... an infidel like you are has no chance of going to the heaven. Just look at you, playing your little infidel game with sticks and balls. My righteous friends should take zee balls and stone you with them *SPIT*. You go to the hell! YOU GO NOW! Muhammed was the true messiah!

C) Mormon... ahhhh a man, a true man of my nature. You like zee women and so do we, my friend. Always should have zee harem, or uh, zee, harrum, or uh, however you spell zee lots of weeman. You not go to heaven, but you will be in a better hell than zee above infidels.

D) Taliban... You get the cue! Yes, you go to meet to get zee cue and you KILL zee person selling it for being an infidel. You then kill yourself and then you go to heaven where you have 30 virgins wanting a pool lesson. ahhh ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya!!!!!

Just give him the 20 and hit the road. Its not like its a ****in balabushka.
 
I like the earlier suggestion...buy the cue...if it's in great shape, pay extra to ease your conscience.

I found a guy who posted a pool cue on a website (not saying where...you scavengers, I haven't picked it up yet). The post reads:

"
Beautiful cue, heritage cherry forearm with Irish linen wrap and decorative inlays.

Solid shaft with new tip.

MUST SELL!!!! "


I saw the pictures and thought it looked familiar, so I asked him the brand name and he replied with.
"I'm not sure. It has a little 4 leaf clover with an "M" in the middle. Not sure the weight, or what kind of tip, just that it's a new tip worth around $15".

He wants $20 for this beautiful McDermott. Am I going to hell if I agree to buy it from him without telling him what he COULD get for it??

Oh, my son, my son. Of course you are headed in the wrong direction by buying this cue. I think the only thing that can save you is once you buy it you ship it straight to me. :wink:
 
I would tell him because I'm not hard up for cash or a cue. If you need a reason above and beyond the warm fuzzy feeling of being a boy scout, I'd bet he'd appreciate your honesty and give you a very good deal on the stick anyway as repayment.
 
You won't go to hell...Purgatory at worst :grin-square:

I'd just offer him double what he asked and be done with it.

You're so sweet...Marissa.....Sweet Marissa...hmmm, I get it now. lol

I'd hate to burden you with a trip to hell, I've already decided to take that upon myself, based on everyones response thus far. I should have some pictures up tonight or early tomorrow morning.

...Of Hell?
 
When you post pictures of it tonight, you will probably find out who he stole it from:)
 
Was going to say hurry cause I found it too earlier and didnt email him YET.


But you are safe, He asked and you paid. Period. Now you could look at karma, and tell him you think its worth double that if its in good shape and pay him 40.00 *karma works weird sometimes...

This question was asked in a thread a few months back
 
No, not hell my friend. The place you will be going is much much worse.
You are headed right for KARMA land. Let me tell you it is a ***** then you will end up selling this cue for $20 and hoping it just gets the hell out of your possession like the guy you are buying from is probably thinking to himself.

If you want to pay more... I'll buy it and sell it to you for an inflated price... let me know:confused:
 
I would go for it, assuming it isn't warped or beat all to hell. I wouldn't keep it on my mind for a long period of time, but you might. If you are going to feel bad about it for the rest of your life, it might be best to leave it alone.
 
Eh. I would take the steal, but probably shoot him more for it. Then again, going to hell really takes a whole lot more than buying a McD for well below what it probably really is worth.

If it were me I'd probably skim through a bunch of McD models online and check the prices, then see the cue and if it's one I saw or in the same series, deduce from there. I'd immediately knock off the usual 20% that a lot of shops offer, then half of that because of other reasons (used, old, etc), then go from there. Knock off some here for warpage, a little more for dings, etc, etc.

There you go. Then again, if it's one of the McD star cues you might end up at about $20 bucks after that whole process. Lol. Unless it's got an I-shaft!

*sigh* I-want I-shaft. :thumbup:
 
Deal

I just bought a cue off craigslist that I knew was worth more than he was asking. He knew the price if refinished, but was quoted way too high for a refinish. I gave him $150 when he was asking $100, which included shipping and his time. Both of us where/are happy.
