I bought http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=400262 from the seller. Per Vinny's(TattooedKingPin) post that the cue is in like new condition and the shaft is completely straight. I bought(he requested that I send payment as gift) the cue last Thursday 8/20, I got the cue on Monday 8/24. As soon as I opened the tube I could feel that the rings were popped at the joint and the butt. The leather wrap was very poorly put on(gap at the butt end). Then I rolled the shaft and it has a huge tapper roll and when I rolled the butt it had about 5 credit cards off lift. At 1st I thought the lift was from the wrap but after I checked it some more it was not the wrap just the butt was wrapped. I sent him(Vinny) a email because AZB was down and at 1st he told me he would refund me after he got his cue back. Then he sends me a email stating that he had talked it over with his friends and he had good pictures on the post and he wasn't going to refund me and he knows that this wasn't going to end well for him, he also said that he had his local guy check out the cue and it was fine. 1st you can't see tapper roll in pictures or see a wrapped butt in pictures. I took the cue today 8/25 to my local builder/repair man and he confirmed that the cue is wrapped and the shaft has a lot of tapper roll(4mm). He wrote a letter to the fact! This guy is very shady he knows that he sent me a junk cue that's why he wanted me to pay as a gift and because I sent the funds as a gift that Paypal will not force him to give the money back. He keep saying that I had buyers remorse or found something that I like better or money problems, everyone on here that knows me knows I don't have money problems and I never have buyers remorse. If I don't like something I will resell or put it in my storage cases. But I'm an honest seller and I can't use or resell junk! He tried to say I had money problems because I told him my wife would only let me spend 500(that's because I wanted a cheaper cue to take to some of the bars around here). In closing don't trust this guy and if you do don't send as a gift! I'm lucky that I made sure in my Paypal I said what it was for so I can dispute it with my Credit card company!
 
Very compelling story Brian! Completely untrue, but very entertaining piece of fiction. Brian chooses to leave out many details of this transaction, such as I answered every one of his questions, kept him informed all the way, and gave him exact specs. He leaves out the name calling and his rudeness, his case of buyers remorse. He was very skiddish from the beginning about the whole transaction and the money his wife would let him spend that is why I suggested it be sent as a gift because I lowered the price already for him. The cue was as stated and I even lowered the price because he explained his financial limitations. It was definitely a learning lesson for me about how some people will try to not honor an agreement and Brian, I can get a letter from my dealer saying the contrary. You know what really happened. Basically, Brian tried playing me and got mad when it didn't work. Sorry, better luck next time Brian. Feel free to keep spinning the wheel Brian
 
I can't believe you keep lying even after I have written proof from a well respected cue builder/repair that the cue you sent me was junk! But I guess that's what you do!
