I sent it back because it appeared to have a crack in the forearm ( you could feel it more than see it? ) the points did not line up right ( he at least mentioned that when he re-listed it! ) the shaft collar is cracked with a good size gap in it, and it appeared to have been refinished ( not very well, I might add. ).
He said he was selling all his cues to finance an Original 'Bushka.
Perhaps the karmic thing will occur on that transaction, I don't know.
I'm just disappointed that it appears this guy is well aware of the improprieties of the cues he's selling but just doesn't care. He did refund my money though I had to pay return shipping, which is just wrong.:angry:
The re-list did sell for $200 less than I had paid.
So maybe it can be salvaged-I don't know.
Just know that the re-finish had dye bleeding from the points and just looked crappy over all.
I hope the buyer is satisfied for what he payed for it.
