O.K. This is just my opinion here. Its very hard to sell stuff in a crappy market. Its exponentially harder to sell something in a crappy market when people think you are pulling the wool over their heads. If you want to sell a lot of items here, hell, more than on item here, I believe there are a few things that you must do. Again, this is just my opinion. When the first deal went bad with the cracked ferrule, I would have offered to take the cue back and paid for return shipping. I mean, the customer is always right, right? Secondly, I'm not calling you a liar here, but you have to be dead honest with everything. If, your not, it'll come back to bite you in the ass ten fold. Sometimes it bites you in the ass anyway. I've been brutally honest here about taper rolls on shafts. The slightest taper roll in my description later on became people telling me that the cue is not selling because of the warped shafts. Hell, one person told me that it was because the joint was warped. How? I havent the slightest. Oh well, crap happens. At least I have a clean conscience. I'd rather be honest and take a loss, then be dishonest and lose any chance of selling here again. Again, I'm not saying that you lied, but people think that you did, and thats all that matters. Now, there were a few people here that were willing to send me a cue without payment. I would then inspect, and if happy, send payment. I think that I earned that right. My friend, I think you might have to do that. You will have to pick and choose who you send to, but just like bad credit, you have to rebuild your reputation. Send you cue out to someone and have them inspect it. Or, just keep dropping the price until the cue sells. Or Ebay. I see that you tried it and I dont know how that turned out, but you had zero feedback. Thats a killer over there. I hope I helped, but then again what the hell do I know.
