Bidders beware

Does anybody think this looks a little odd. Zero feedback and only one picture of a cue like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Palmer-Cus...tcZphotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
What's up with the sellers other item.

Well one thing that seems to be legit about it, is that he does accept Paypal. Most scams that I have seen do not take it because it is hard to get your money back when you pay by check or money order. Paypal has always awarded in my favor when there has been a problem with an auction or a fraudulent item as not reported. Just my $0.02.

you cant just assume bc he has zero feedback its a scam. i been buying selling trading cues a long time and i tried to stay away from ebay and az. could have been his playing cue from 30 years and he finally decieded to sell it.

This is definitely a scam. The cue was mine and is now listed at www.cornerstonecustomcues.com. The ebay listing used my picture and my language. Stay away.

Here is the link to the Palmer. http://cornerstonecustomcues.com/cues/lrgcues/028w.html
A more accurate description is that the cue is absolutely amazing and gorgeous. As per Chris Tate of palmercollector.com, the cue is a Model J or Model 16 forearm made by Gus Szamboti. with a custom butt. The inlays are French diamonds instead of the normal turtle shapes. I bought the cue from the original owner who had it made directly from Palmer in the early 70's. It also comes with an original Palmer case in perfect condition. The only negative is that both shafts have a slight wobble. If you need additional pics, PM me with your email address. Thanks.

What about his other item. Do you think he used them for 30 years also?

I told him I would like to see the cue as well. He told me he was in Florida. I told him no problem. That was the end of it - never heard back from him. I never mentioned that the cue he was selling was mine and is now listed at www.cornerstonecustomcues.com. Fabulous cue, by the way.
