If you can get a $350.00 cue to play as good as you guys say it plays I guess the high price cues should be coming WAAAAYYY down in price very quickly.


no and your comment was obviously sarcasm , the high price cues like scruggs ,capone , all the rest will still have their high prices because of the established name of the maker , you are paying for the name and inlays just like anything else in the world and market dicitates prices but all in all any item is only worth what someone will pay for it but you knew that.

the high end cues are nice but they are art in some minds and when folks say something bad about " their art" it makes the owner feel uneasy and insecure about their "collection worth " /

Are you blind? HE WROTE HE HAD A PERRY AND A MEUCCI - NOT ME.

I'm wondering why so many people on this board love to be heard, but don't like to hear.
 
If anything it shows that at least some of the deaths of the executed people has some benefit to the living.
Thanks. That is very comforting.

Wow, all this to get to this point. Correct me if I am wrong but weren't the majority of Balabuskas made from purchased blanks? Are Balabushkas worth more than the sum of their parts? Are Titlists? I don't manipulate your comments Craig, I respond to them.

The Dean cues I have seen in the pictures have joint rings and a Hoppe style ring at the bottom.

Clearly not a plain jane sneaky as you describe.




I don't think anyone here could be accused of buying a Deano cue based on it's "name". Of course a name alone does not make a cue. However when a "name" gets a reptutation for delivering solid cues then demand increase along with price. Business 101.

I think you are funny though when you say that the work is very minimal. Aside from the obvious absurdity of that statement there is the fact that you make the business student mistake of completely forgetting the capital investment required to even get to the point of being able to do the work required to turn wood into a cue, even with a turned blank.

Who made you the arbiter of what cues should be sold for? If we follow your reasoning then just about all cues are overpriced as most sell for many many many times the cost of materials and labor to make them. You have no idea what Dean and his friend's costs are. Nor is it your business as you are not transacting with Dean.

Would you appreciate it if a customer showed up at your poolroom and started trying to tell you that your prices are out of line because they "figured" all of your costs? I am pretty sure you would tell that customer to take his business elsewhere.




If that is true then how can you say that Dean's cusotmers are suckers?

Surely there has not been a single cue in recent memory with as much pre-sale negativity as this one. What "name" did Dean's customers buy? None. If anything this is one cue that prospective buyers had PLENTY of opportunity to stay away from.

However I think that your characterization of the transactions on the Wanted/For Sale section of AZ is incorrect. I think that the majority of people transacting here are in fact quite knowledgeable about the cues they are looking at and if they aren't there are plenty of others who delight in making sure that everyone knows when something is wrong with a price or a claim.



Good for you. Faith in oneself is the cornerstone for any endeavor. Still I think that you would not enjoy your work getting ripped apart on this forum. Especially if that critique was undeserved.

How in the world do you figure that Dean was preying on the uneducated when he posted here where the most cue savvy group of people on the internet gather?



Then why did you imply it? What purpose did your initial post serve other than to portray the cue as overpriced and imply that the buyers are suckers?



So what? That isn't part of the discussion.



Sorry that you are bored. I guess it would be more exciting for you if you were allowed to post all the negative and false innuendo that you want to unopposed.

Ever heard the phrase "Rope a Dope?" Look it up and think about it next time you think you have me on the ropes.

John, I though you were an intelligent and articulate individual, however I can see now exactly what you really are, you are the master of spin. From the inception of this thread you have asserted John as the central figure in this discussion. At first I thought that Dean was in this business alone but you have made it clear that you also have a stake in this, and I would suspect that your involvement will center around future production.;)

John, as far a rope a dope, it is actually a Dope on a rope, and that is you!!:eek: :D You think that you have everyone in your corner. You also think that the word of John is law, however, you have the worst reputation of any poster on this forum. It is really a shame that you have never understood that there is a difference between people laughing at you and people laughing with you. ;)

John, self reflection is a must for you because you do not understand how you are preceived. John take sometime and look at that person you see in the mirror, now if you like what you see, which I suspect is not possible, stay with your current path and continue down that long lonely road your on.

Now John you may think that you have done Dean a service by taking this thread to this level. However, the only thing you have accomplished will amount to major disservice to both Dean and his cues. Thanks to you more damage has been done than my statement could have ever caused. Now, it was not my intent to ruin anyones business, and I suspect that it was not yours either, however, you have done a very good job of doing just that. John, you have been called a communist by members of this forum, and you do not dispute it, this also is a disservice to all who you represent in this country. You actions although you may not see it will effect those companies. This is a big forum, and you and I are really small fish in the scheme of things. However, there are many who are reading this, who have influence far beyond your's or mine. I served my country for a good portion of my life, and I consider myself Patriotic, with that being said, I for one will no longer be able to sell your products, to include items sold by Sterling. Now I am certain that you will laugh at this, and that is fine, however, as others read this I will not be the only one taking this stand against your products and any companies you are associated with.

John you can have the last word, because I am done listening to your propaganda, and your spin. You have twisted my words and my intent and I really have to laugh about that, because many of our forum members have seen through your veiled attempts. I also learned things about you that I would have never thought to be true, however, this is a great place to learn and persons true character will certainly come to the surface.

Have a nice night John and sincerly good luck to you because you are going to need luck!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, Craig, it says I must spread some rep around first !!!!
 
ok, lets clearify something. I AM NOT BASHING PERRY OR MEUCCI!!! i simply noted the cues that i own and play with. as it was stated earlier in this thread HIT is SUBJECTIVE. therefore i only gave my SUBJECTIVE OPINION that i felt that the DEANO cue hit, IN MY OPINION, better then the cue i already own. GET IT!!!

second of all, there have been people that say that the cue looks to plain to cost $300, or that the shaft taper looks wrong to those are the poeple i was asking to please not bash the DEANO cue until they tried it. Dean is selling the hit of the cue. GET IT!!!

Wrong. Dean should NOT be selling the "hit" of the cue, since that is subjective. The shaft taper is aggressively thick on this cue, so I can say based on my own personal subjective opinion, that I would absolutely hate the way the cue "hits". In fact, I can unequivacally say that it would probably be one of the worst hitting cues that I could play with. This has nothing to do with whether the cue is well constructed or not. GET IT???

Now after I spend $30 bucks getting the shaft retapered, then maybe it would hit ok. GET IT??
 
i respect your opinion. personally i have big hands, and really enjoy the shaft on Dean's cue. and, it works for me.
 
DR J did not recieve a deano cueas he seems to say on page 6 of these threads
