hey sailorboy...
no sweat my friend...
i was swindled out of a pair of sw's i 'bought' [i committed for on site and in PM] here on AZ and then they wanted to sell it back to me for more! i guess a 'corporation' of sellers. i wanted to "fix" these guys a$$e$. still might, who knows.
the sad part for me: i guess an elderly couple lost sight of their principles. but since i am old too, i can imagine their lives/fears and i have no ill will. for their own sake i wish that they had more faith and trust in others. it would i think do them good.
and yes, the cue was of no use and had no value to me. even your 18.4 oz woody is too heavy for me now, by about an oz. but still has pretty wood. and i'll play a rack with it every once in a while.
but BALABUSHKA-LADY'S dropping the price 25% and including the xtra shaft, i just didn't want to see it drop further, i felt that was not fair to them, and also thought they must really need the money. i have room in my 12x24's for more cues so what the hell, another beautiful cue can fit.
i took the sw hit a little harder, but this was a walk in the park except for the disappointment of feeling betrayed for a few dollars.
anyway, life goes on...
all the best,
smokey
Smoke, sorry you didn't get the cue :ignore:
I'm also sorry she and her husband may be having some difficulties but, she at the very least should have contacted you and explained her situation -- I'm sure you would have gladly let the other person buy the cue with your blessings.
The good news is that you really didn't want/need this cue anyways :duck:
