Can you spot where the "round points" end and the "Sharpee'd points" begin?

Sean is right, LOTS of cuemakers have done this in the past. Its a little rarer now, IMO.

On all my deals, I give money back guarentee. Only fair way. It appears he has offered that.

IN MY OPINION, BOTH ARE BEING NITS ABOUT THE SHIPPING. BOTH OF YOU NEED TO PUT IT BEHIND YOU AND MOVE ON. SPLIT SHIPPING OR WHATEVER, BUT IF YOU TWO ARE CONTINUE TO ACT LIKE NITS OVER SHIPPING....GIVE ME A BREAK.

I am not acting like a nit . I sold the sold just as listed why should I lose $40 on shipping ? Its not going to happen .

I will pay the shipping for both party just to close this issue :thumbup:


That is a nice offer on your part Jun But its not you who should pay the shipping it is your friend .
As I have stated I will refund minus shipping IF the cue is as I sent it and the paypal dispute is dropped but not until then.

It seems to me it would be worth your reputation here on A-Z that has taken many years to build would be worth a lot more than $40 dollars. Just pay the man and make the problem go away. JMO

It doesn' t matter who did right or wrong just make the problem go away!

Why? How about customer satisfaction? Oh that's right, you could care less. And yes, the definition of a nit is going on and on over something tiny in the grander scheme of things. Example : $40 versus good customer relations and continued good reputation and sales ( profits).

Congrats! I GUARANTEE that you have lost more than $40 in future profits.

Way to win the battle, but lose the war.
 
Why?

Because $40 is nothing. I am trying to be your friend, split shipping or whatever and live longer. If you are stuck a dime thats something else.

It isnt worth the hassle my friend.

MOVE ON BOTH OF YOU....
:rolleyes:

Your friend in pool, (life too its really too short for BS)

Whoa Whoa, It was $80 shipping then $40 shipping.

Where is the buyer located? Phillipines?
 
All four points were sharpeed, I took a pic of the worst one. I'll take more pics of the other 3 later. I wasn't able to ship out the cue today..

Here is my take on the cue from my experience in dealing Schon cues over the years and having a large collection of them. First of all the pictures do not prove anything wrong. The only way to make sure that the points have been altered from a CNC point is to have the finish sanded off to expose the rounded or sharp point underneath. The picture shown only shows one point as well. Not all for points are included. Cue makers in the early eighties used permant ink to darken in and even out the tips of the points. Mcdermott was notorious for this in the mid eighties. To answer the question that R series cues were made CNC. The answer is yes they were made after 1988. They also came with stitch rings if ordered that way. Please see my Ebay item 230161029678 Click Here this is an R3 made with stitch rings and CNC points. Either way this cue is still a Runde era cue and is a R2. I would send it to Evan and have him verify the cue and be done with it. Larry sold the cue as an R2 and indeed it is a R2. If the customer is unhappy Larry has already offered to take it back. To me with out having more evidence of the points and no verification from Schon cues no one is at fault for this cue. I hope this helps. Since this has been made public due diligence has be done to verify the cue before anyone should be bashed. One picture of one point and an opinion of what is under the finish don't prove anything. Thanks just trying to help. This is all I'm going to say about this thread and the cue involved.

Yeah im acting like im in second grade :rolleyes:


Ummmm .... yes

What else do you call repeating yourself and just reposting and reposting the same response, even as new questions are asked?

It is as close as you can get on this forum.
 
To be honest if this is what I have to go though to sell a few cues then its not worth it to me and I dont care if I ever sell another cue here .
For all of those wanting to bash and gang up on me you can all make a single file line and KISS MY ASS !!!!!!! :kma: :kma: :kma: :kma: :kma: :kma: :kma:

Ryan....this is Duc. If your issue is not resolved and you need to prove that the cue is sharpe in...give Don Broos a shout. He would be able to confirm and let you know for sure. Looking at the pic, it does look like the point where sharpe in and I don't know but maybe this is how Schon cue make their points on some of their cues. Probably need to ask schon if their Runde cue are all sharpe to look sharp? If this is true...then you're not the only one with this issue.

Regards,
Duc.


Hey Duc,

I don't think I need Don's help with this one. Look closer on the pics, you can see where the round points end.

Okay, I stand corrected. I am sorry for even implying that you were acting immature.


For the sake of my continued sanity, I issue the following statement:


I am sorry, you are obviously 100% correct in every way. I was foolish to even make a suggestion for you to give anything less than a full commitment to your customers. I humbly ask your forgiveness.

Carry on and take care
 
Koinkid mentioned it earlier, but I have also seen many spliced cues, and yes, some Schons, where the very ends of the points were faded out and blended into the forearm. Quite a few were stained in/filled in whatever you want to call it. Is it right? No, but there are quite a few of them out there.

I did one deal with Larry a while back, we disagreed and Larry immediately offered to make it right.

I think that this issue was well on it's way to resolution, and just got side tracked. The goal here is to stay cool and get everybody back to happy land!

I wouldn't have any reservations about doing business with either party

Larry as per Ryan previous post that he don't mind paying the shipping back the cue to you all he wants is the full refund for the cue so I think its 50-50 between the shipping...you lost $40 to ship to and Ryan will lost $40 to ship it back to you...lets end this thread and move on...I am sure your reputation still solid as a rock here...


PS: i told you not to show your A$$ here but you did it anyway :D:D

Thanks bro. but as I have said I have done nothing wrong here and will not lose any money on this deal cuz other want to pressure me into doing so.
I will only issue a refund minus the shipping after I have seen the cue to make sure it has not been tampered with and the paypal dispute is droped .

Here's my ass again :kma: :kma: :kma: :D

Thanks Eric and I am with you on this and I will not be selling cues on here anymore except to my friends . Showing the cue face to face is by far the best way they can look at them roll them maybe even hit a few balls with them then decide to buy or not.

Larry
