Here is a link to 3 shafts for sale on Ebay ending in just under 30 minutes. I bought these and just sent them back 2 days after receiving them. Here is what was wrong with them. The fact that he re listed them before even getting them back from me and did a 24 hour auction is fishy enough but here is why.
Here is the description:
Three new custom cue shafts.5/16-14 piloted joint.. ring pattern single gold ring .845 " 29" in length Tiger tip 13mm shaft maple fits Schon, Joss and Jacoby
Here is what I received.
All were used with not only being chalked, ( no problem if it was chalked to test hit ) but the fact that he scuffed the piss out of them not only trying to cover it up but reshaping the tip in the process. This was no biggie really until I saw a sticker on 1 that said .836 ( wrong size ). Then I looked at the pilots and 1 is aluminum. Pics showed all brass. After checking for straightness, only 1 shaft was close to straight with a slight taper roll. The other 2 had at least 1/8 inch warp and are really bad when rolled.
Everyone has problems with a deal here and there, but when I contacted the seller ( Yes I asked questions before and after bidding )
I received replies like,
They may have been chalked to test hit......Why scuff the piss out of them then and on and on etc... But when he said " I normally sell these for 75.00, so even if only 2 are good, you still got a good deal. Anyways here is the link, and be careful. I paid just over 110.00 with shipping and received junk. Even the finish was so bad on 1 of them that on the lower 3-4 inches of the shaft that I thought it was the thick clear packing tape and tried to peel it off. It was at a 45% angle. So while I am hopefully getting refunded, I will be out 25.00 because of shipping and paypal that I am eating.
