awesome gina fs

Sometimes the year only signifies when Ernie engraved it. We got a new one last year that was straight from Ernie but was engraved "03". Ernie has been known to have some cues on-hand in various stages (obviously his particular models in his standard line of cues). That cue was 'in progress' but never finished until we purchased it.

As for the snakewood...who knows, but it's a good case that such a 'fingerprint' can be used to identify a particular cue.

There are basically two options to question:

1. What are the odds that two of the same model Ginas would have the exact same "fingerprint" of very distinctive grain in the exact same spot (and other spots as well if you look closely) and furthermore, that Bill would end up with these same two cues within the span of a few months?

2. What are the odds that Bill knowingly described a used, albeit relatively mint Gina as "new / unchalked."

Despite what the apologists say, I'm going with option number two.
 
It is my belief that by accusing someone who is well respected in the "cue world" you only succeed in making yourself look like the fool, You will not find anyone to support your story that Bill is dishonest. Your only friends in this situation will be others like you.

Well, anybody who can't objectively read this thread combined with the cue pictures I posted and not immediately recognize the clear fact that Bill lied isn't anyone whose opinion matters to me. It seems that you and a few other apologists fall into this category, oh well. Let me guess, you also think there was nothing wrong in how Earl handled his foul in the thread being discussed in the main forum?

The only fool(s) are those who naively take Bill at face value and risk ending up with a less than accurately described cue. Kind of like the person who ended up with the used but "new / unchalked" Gina.

And believe me, I'm not alone in my sentiment, not by a long shot. However, I may be the only one willing to come right out and say it because I don't give a crap what apologists like you think of me and I don't want/need any of Bill's cues.
 
your a real work

Seems to me like you're the one who is sour and unhappy. I'm sorry, sometimes the truth can be a hurtful thing.

What is it you said earlier about a blatant and false attack? For some reason the words pot and kettle come to mind.
 
Oh...for The Love Of God!!

Here is a close-up detail of the grain in the cue that Bill just posted on this thread.

The GRAIN...

The GRAIN is NOT THE SAME.

Not at all.

In fact, though the shape of the grain that you point out is similar, the shape on one is filled with the dark color of the snakewood grain. And the similar - BUT NOT EXACTLY THE SAME - shape on the other cue is filled with the lighter shade of the snakewood grain.

The WRAPS are NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE SAME. The second being a much more expensive wrap, that I'm sure Bill paid Ernie to put on just to replace the other and HIDE THE FACT THAT HE WAS TRYING TO SELL A USED, previously NEW, previously UNCHALKED CUE.

Right. I'm joking. It's a ridiculous accusation. Neither Bill Grassley nor Ernie have time to waste on such a fruitless charade.

You can get just about as much money for a barely played, barely chalked Gina.

They are very SIMILAR Gina catalogue cues.

As Ernie's catalogue cues are. That's why they are "Catalogue" cues.

Period.

Please put this to rest. Or I will dissect the forearms as well.

And trust me...no body wants to suffer through THAT!!

The Grain in the Forearms

The Grain in the Forearms is actually quite different as well.

You are comparing the wrong cue(s). Go back and look at post number 27 for the correct comparison. Now that you have the right cue to compare - dissect away and you will see that it is obvious that they are the same cue.

The point is that this is the sold cue shown on his website described as "new / unchalked" and is the cue I used to own, which was used and chalked. This same cue is the one Bill claims was never posted to his website, where oddly enough it is currently still posted.

I welcome your forthcoming dissection.
