Any word from Dennis Searing....

I never got robbed on anything.
Get your story straight.
I got my first one from a guy in Hawaii after I tried it out and played with it.
I liked it so much that I bought another one.
I have two butts and seven interchangeable shafts for them.
I am happy with them.
I like cues that play well.
I took my first one to the pool hall and played with it last week.
FWIW, I just bought a Searing shaft on the secondary market.

Coos Cues
So two years no communication? The only situation "due to the pandemic" that could come close to excusing this is that he is dead. Yet he is not.
Why do people continue to support flakes like this? I don't care if his cue can jerk me off while waiting in my chair, no cue or cue builder is this special. The one currently for sale with the long white joint collar in front of the black is hideous to boot.
I guess I will never understand certain things.
I'm sure people are lining up for your cues
I have one of his cues…damn nice one, too.
JC cue between two Jackpots.

That is about as blunt and honest a reply as could be.
King Searing treats his customers like
, and they stand in line for another help of shit on a shingle.Maybe I am wrong but no one is too busy building Cues to not set dime time aside to reply to few emails a week, or daily.
Good communication is part of good business plan.
Bad communication is

If he had my cue for two years incommunicado I would be lining up to catch him outside a grocery store in his home town.
As far as lining up for my cues that's irrelevant and a shitty straw man from you.
I do however not have a Coos Cue in my possession currently to play with. Seems like they all got sold. Not to you though, you're on the list now.
Figures
Sometime I wonder if some of the people posting sh.. on line do that in person also.
Some do Some don't, which are you?Sometime I wonder if some of the people posting sh.. on line do that in person also.

I have been reading this stuff for years. It is not hard for me to understand. I have known Dennis since he was a kid. He became a very good player by the way.
I hear from him now and then.
This cue thing just evolved. All he wanted to do was build some cues. Being the kind of guy he is though, it was probably inevitable he would become this good.
Now he is sort of a victim of his own success. This problem is fixable though. First, don't get talked into doing repairs you don't want to do. I say talked into for a reason. People want what they want and will beg whine. Next thing you know you have said yes.
Years ago I read a book "How to say no and not feel guilty about it". Good book.
Second, start getting yourself out from under. Either do the repairs or return the cues.
Last, don't make the same mistake again. It is tempting to tell people what they want to hear, but you have to he honest even, if they get mad at you.
Dennis is really a nice guy. What happened over time I am certain was not intended, it just happened.

Your post is on the money, and very right. Maybe Dennis is guilty of poor communication. Problem can be resolved with some time daily with simple replies to emails.
I had one client that was a client when I started my business. Being honest they were what I called a gas money client. Money was just gas money, but in early days of business I did work to put gas in tank.
They were slow pay, bounced a few checks on me, soon became more trouble then profit.
When I had my fill after last bad experience, solution was easy. When they call me to work I politely said I am already busy that day. Took say this 10 times.
They stopped calling. Worked out well, and yes I was polite about it.
IMHO self employment is a 7 x 24 x 366 commitment. If a good paying client called in middle of night waking me up, I took care of them.
Why they paid my bills, and paid me very well.
It makes no sense why he can't mail a cue back to someone who has been waiting 2 years for a repair. Wait...back up. It makes no sense why he can't email someone whose cue he has been holding hostage for 2 years.
Here's something you might suggest to your friend: tell him to quote a base price of $20k for a new cue. His list will immediately dwindle to 10-15 people. Subsequently, he will have plenty of time to shoot pool and do repairs....and be a nice guy.
I would imagine that most hardened criminals did not intentionally set out to achieve that type of lifestyle. It was probably a slippery slope and they just got in deeper and deeper. They started with small crimes, then the crimes increased in severity.
It's clearly valuable to you, since you spend so much of it on AZ sneering at others

You are right, it makes no sense so don't try to.. That is neither here or there now. It happened. Now he needs to get this straightened out.
He must be sick of it, It is probably also stressful i'm sure..
