Where all other Predator shafts are made I'd imagine. What's your point? This still isn't a bad cue for the money, but I think Aaron knows it's origin,maybe not but....

My point is that the Predator seller is the same seller from Taiwan that is selling the cue in question. He is also selling Falcon Cues, which come from WHERE? I don't know if it is still true but Falcon use to make the butts for Predator cue. POINT? I GUESS A GOOD CUE CAN BE MADE OVERSEAS:)
 
POINT? I GUESS A GOOD CUE CAN BE MADE OVERSEAS

It sure can that's why a like Helmsetters. I bid on this cue too. However if I'm going to pay full price I'd rather do it with R.Paul, the owner of the Ebay store and an AZ Member. Just in case there was a problem, I feel more comfortable dealing with him.

Thank You Az'ers

I Got This Cue On A 3 Cue Deal. Kind Of A Throw In. The Guy Told Me He Got It Through A Trade And He Did Not Know Where It Came From. After I Got It I Was Impressed And Could Not Have Believed For 5 Seconds That It Was A Tia Can Cue From What Ever Country They Come From. The Bids Are Real. However I Traded It This Morning For Another Cue And Have Told The Guy Where It Came From After Reading This Thread. He Is Still Ok With It. He Has Put A Very High Bid On It So We Can Leave Each Other Feedback. I Will Tell You That This Is Exactly Why I Run Them Private Though. My Bidders Need To Make Up There Own Mind. I Represented The Cue As It Was To Me.

Murphy's law of E-Bay cue jargon translation:

If it says "looks like a Southwest", it really means "cheap import"

If it says "might be a (name ANY brand)?", it really means "cheap import that looks like a (name any brand).

If it says "unknown", it really means "cheap import"

If it says "straight", it really means "warped".

If it says "dead straight", it really means "slightly warped"

If it says "don't know weight" it really means "it's a 16 or a 24 ounce".

If it says "some repairs", it really means "cue snapped in two, points drawn on with marker pen, epoxied, and put on e-bay".

If it says "could be leather", it really means "vinyl".

If it says "rare", it really means "most were broken and tossed out long ago".

If it says "could be repaired" it really means "pulled from neighbors trash can".

If it says "tribute cue", it really means "shameless copy".

If it says "warp doesn't effect play" it really means "if you're a one armed, one eyed, "C" player in the APA it won't matter anyway".

If it says "as is" it really means "P.O.S.".

If it says "ivory" it really means "ivory, the color".

If t says "ebony", it really means "ebony, the color'

I saw this and I liked it. I think it's an import though, not that that's bad as long as the price doesn't get out of hand.http://cgi.tw.ebay.com/New-Tai-Can-...itemZ7228162035QQcategoryZ36102QQcmdZViewItem Even the joint protectors have ring work.

You see who they list as the "adviser". Now all I can say is I hope to never see the cue design theft mantra raised by US cuemakers that induldge in the setting up of factories over seas. If you give them the technology, they will use it.

Classic cues

Definetly some very good points. You should enter that contest for Mastercard. You are very good at riddles if you will. Nice work. OH' by the Way JIMBO. Never mind, It would be way to vulgar. I'll take the high road.
