Bill,
I think, sorry, I know you're lying. Let me explain.
First, my facts are straight. You got this cue from Ray in a package deal with a Schick shortly after the Derby. Ray bought it from me at the Derby. I believe this cue was on your website, unless both Ray and I were seeing things because we were both curious as to how you would price it. And you knew for 100% fact that the cue was used and not "new / unchalked."
Second, to demonstrate that you are lying. In the two "different" cues below, compare the snakewood grain around the small ivory dot above the Ginacue logo in the buttsleeve. See how the light part goes around it in a horseshoe shape with the open end on the left with the bottom side circling back up a little bit and then extending out in a straight line for small ways? What are the odds that two different cues would have this exact same grain? There are also the rings cut in the wrap as well for more comparison, but we both know a wrap can be duplicated or easily changed right?
Still want to stick with the same story?
Mike
