The guy who sold u the cue is Mark the Cueguy. He's a local here in Arizona, and I have bought a pool table from him before, which he gave me a very fair price for, and he even delivered it for free. I think the amount he's charging for shipping cues is too expensive, especially since he mostly sells production cues. He set up the Johnny Archer challenge match at Kolby's a couple weeks back, and works with the UPA also, and isn't too bad of a dude in my experience. I have bought several cues on eBay from other sellers and have even sold one on there, and shipping has never been that much, so I agree it's excessive. I would've assumed it would've been either overnight or two-day delivery for that amount, so I have to side with Daniel on this one. Mark is a good resource for table cloth, tips, jump cues, and even sometimes pool tables, so I wouldn't label the dude a seller to avoid. I would suggest if you buy anything from the guy, just confirm the arrangement before bidding or paying. Like I said, from my experience I know Mark has been a stand up dude so it might be unfair to label him a gypsy, but I agree that amount for shipping is kinda crazy. I had a Jap try to charge me $150 for shipping a pair of Levi's once that I won on eBay. I went through the proper channels and filed a complaint and didn't have to pay the mofo, so it happens, but u can maybe still resolve it. I dont particularly like ads from any eBay seller that have fine print like that. Esoteric language is usually hiding a simple message, like "shipping for this item is going to kick your ass".
