An Unfortunate Incident Involving J&D (Jim Lee) Cues
- Thread starter Slim Limpy
- Start date
This is when I'm glad there is an AZ Forum. Another unscrupulous cue maker has been outed! Yes Jim, you are unscrupulous! What Slim Limpy has accomplished is to let the billiard world know to beware of this individual and to refrain from doing any business with him. After reading through this thread I would never want any involvement with Jim Lee in any way, shape or fashion. So the damage to his reputation has been done and rightfully so. Slim may never get his cue back, but he did get his ounce of flesh. Jim Lee may be the one who suffers the most harm from this sad episode, not Slim Limpy. :thumbup2:

A question for anyone reading this thread.
Did I say anything bad in the post I made prior to this one? Obviously it pissed some people off...

City Police are trained in CRIMINAL LAW, and Town Ordinances. This is a Civil Matter IMHO, not CRIMINAL.
Just reading the thread and always thought fraud and theft are criminal.They could sue him civilly for their money back and also bring Criminal charges against him that can be carried out by the District attorney.
Well said Jay, it is these threads by posters who do not hide the culprits but out them, telling the complete story, that allow future people to not have their cues in effect stolen by a cue repair person like this.
The amount of time that Jim has had this guys cue and refused to return it is absurd, almost any cue repair person could have done this work 20 times over at this point. I say "almost" because clearly Jim can't.
If its the same Jim Lee, he was over in the machinery section a day ago selling cork wraps.
So, he has time to respond to people wanting to purchase merchandise but no time to answer
regular inquiries.

Actually there is only about $4 difference per hour between "Stop in the name of the law" and "Would you like fries with that?" I would suggest calling the DA's office as well
Granted, but, when a Police officer walks up to the window of your car, its not cool to start ordering a cheeseburger and fries with an extra thick chocolate shake. Try it sometime and see if you get a ticket.
I may be wrong but I'm hoping to hear in the near future that Jim has finished the cue and sent it to it's owner. Jim has done a few wraps for me and I thought he did excellent work at a fair price. I don't know what could have happened, but I know that he was ill for quite a while. If so he probably should have let the owner know and had someone else finish the work. I'm hoping that things work out..
I only ask because he said he was done with my cue and all that needed to be done was to be shipped. And he told me some personal issues that came up so I didn't press any further. But still, shipping a cue shouldn't take no more than 15-20 minutes out of a day. I just dn't know what to think anymore. I'm not trying to pursue legal issues if my cue is like 99% there and shipping is all there is, ya know?
He had time to answer my post via PM. He seemed more unhappy with me posting on here than responding to the OP's concerns. 
Of course Jay. You have a little pull here and obviously your opinion counts for a bit more than others.
Sad but true. As I said, he also has time to sell wraps but no time to answer PMs.

You have shown remarkable patience. I sincerely hope that things work out for you and you get the cue back and that you will be very happy with it.
Where is he at in Indiana? I live in Indiana and if its not to far I would go and pick everyones cues up and mail them out for a small fee (shipping costs) if Jim isnt able to. It sounds like he is very busy and doesnt have the time to get to the post office and if people are wanting their cues back, unfinished or not then thats their choice. I dont have a dog in the hunt and this would obviously have to be ok'd with mr Lee but I know from experience what its like to wait on a cue to be finished. I think the problem most cue makers have is the fact that they give out a completion date that is not logical in a lot of cases, just to make the customer happy. I would much rather wait a year on a cue than be told numerous times it was being shipped out the next week, I have had that happen as well. I have heard good things about his cues around this area and the ones I saw looked to be of good quality and craftsmanship.
