but to this guy's defense he states in one of his other auctions that he's handicapped and makes these things (i refuse to call them joint protectors) just to stay busy. can't really help but feel a little sorry for the guy.
Well he states in his other auctions:
They are hand turned ,polished and fitted , These are very high quality , and always have a guarentee as to fit and guarenteed to never come apart or to split . I want each and every customer to be happy with their sets .
SO SAVE and buy directly from the man who makes them !!!!
I use solid woods Kiln dried to less then 10% I am handicaped and do this to stay busy. So quality is very high ! Guarenteed fit !
Also I guarentee fit so ever a problem I will repair OR replace the set.
That is outstanding that he wants to stay busy and do something meaningful and productive with his time (there are a lot of non-handicapped people that don't do that), but this wasnt a $10 set of joint protectors, he charged Hornet almost 6x his normal selling price for them. Point work aside they do not fit as they should.
If this guy had added pictures of the JP's in question to his video then it would be a different story, however I am sure he too knows they are crap. I would just ask him for a refund less his shipping charges for the two sets he has attempted. Or even just a partial refund?
I wouldn't even bother trying to get another set from him if he thinks shipping something like this is acceptable. Get back as much as you can and...THEN CLEAN THOSE WHITE STAINS OFF YOUR KEYBOARD!

They look like chocolate-dipped ice cream cones left in the sun.
You paid via PayPal. File a "not as described" dispute via PayPal's Resolution Center.
Hopefully, you funded that payment with a credit card. If you don't have your money back via PP within ten days of filing a dispute, file one with your credit card company.
Last resort, and probably good only once, is to file a fraudulent ACH transaction claim via your bank, if you paid from your checking account. Banks are very familiar with PayPal disputes. Most will give a customer at least one "courtesy" reversal of an ACH charge if you tell them the merchant sent you defective merchandise and refuses to refund your money.

6x?!!!
Holy crap....I would definitely be asking for my money back...period. They are just awful!! If a credit card was used for payment, I would dispute the charges to be sure!Lisa
thanks for the info, i will file a dispute. thanks also when i get chads i will post a pic side by side. thanks to all who have read and/or posted.
these are a 3/8 ten pin joint meuci are usually a diiferent joint. if you put in the joints yourself they would need to be 3/8 10 pin joint.
Sorry to hear your misfortune! Good luck with the claim! You wont be dissapointed with Chad's work (CAM Cues). ALL of the cues in my collection have matching jp's made by Chad. Link to cue collection!

I think they are great as protectors! If you put your cue in your case with the joint protectors facing out, your cue will never be stolen. The minute someone attempts to pull your cue out and sees the JPs, they will slowly push them back in and leave your's alone. Those are the worst I have EVER seen.

Yeah- I kinda feel a bit sorry for both parties here.
Actually, I apologize for my previous post. The best course of action here would be to get ahold of the SpankysBilliards guy and have him run a raffle for these... Since you will still have them after the raffle, you could then attempt to get a full/partial refund from the master craftsman.
