I am the buyer of this cue and the current shady buyer that a few of you assumed.
Mr. John had misrepresent the cue on where it is important to me.
Before buying the cue I asked about the weight of butt and shaft, Mr. John said he doesn't have a scale. So I asked about the balance point, he said it's forward balance. When I got the cue, I immediately know it's butt heavy. The shafts are 3.3oz each and the butt is 16.7oz. Tell me with this cue specs would be forward balance ???
Second, I said I'd only shot predator shafts, I asked Mr. John how is deflection compare to predator. He said deflection is even better than predator. Well, many can argue, but to me, my predator z3 had a lot lower deflection than the Meucci Pro. I only took about 10 shots with Mr. John's cue the whole time when it was in my procession.
When I texted Mr. John and asked to return the cue within 2 hours after I recieved the cue, I politely said "it's not what I am used to" and like to return it. But I should of said: HEY JOHN, YOU LIED TO ME!
And I politely offered to cover shipping both ways, Mr. John won't have anything to loose. But instead Mr. John replied "you should have asked if it was returnable before complete the transaction. Sorry..".
I think you should put in your for sale ad that this is a NONReturnable sale. This action triggered my dispute with paypal, and it is the only way to get result.
Any way John, I don't want to make the matter worst. I'd shipped the cue back the next day and provided you the tracking numbers shipped insured. It will be exactly the same condition as it came.
We learn some every day.
Feel free to contact me any time.
Dude, your name was never mentioned here out of respect to you. But since you decided to reply with calling me a liar.....I was simply asking the forums opinion if it was ok for someone to return a cue because they didn't like it. You never told me in your text you had a problem with it when you asked if i took returns. It was only a few hours later when you filed a dispute that you even mentioned the problems.
In your response to calling me a liar in a public forum, that wasn't very nice. I do have the saved copies of our texts and PM's if you are going to call me a liar and these are your exact quotes
Problem 1: Deflection. You never asked this. AFTER the sale and shipment of the cue, you texted me you were worried if it would be a big transition from a Predator.. That was your question. SO, NOW A HALF HOUR LATER YOU WERE ALREADY CRAWFISHING. My EXACT reply....IMO The Pro shafts play better. The deflection is the same or better. I volunteered my opinion on deflection, you didn't ask.
Yes, that is my personal opinion from playing with the cue and also watching what Meucci says about his low deflection shafts. It was not a attempt to deceive you because i never knew what deflection you wanted, just stating my opinion in a text conversation after the sale and shipment.
Problem 2: The weight forward issue. You asked me what the balance point was. I said i didn't know. I never measured it. But it feels weight forward to me.
I didn't know you were looking for a weight forward cue. You only asked the balance point. Well i guess i knew thats what you were looking for when you filed the dispute...lol I don't even know if the cue is weight forward now as i haven't gotten it back yet to measure the balance point. What is the balance point? Did you even measure it? Or again you simply didn't like it.. right?
All you had to do is tell me you had problems with my description of the cue. You never did. You just filed a dispute.
Your exact text to me " I was able to get home and get the cue. Everything look fine. However the cue is so much different than what i am used to. I don't think will lime it. I wonder if you would accept return. I will cover shippings both ways.
After i told you "I'm glad everythings fine, I don't feel right offering a return " you said
"Hmm....I thought i was being fair but Well no biggie. Thanks for the deal anyway."
A hour later you filed the PP dispute with the problems listed. That was the part me and a few other people thought was shady. Your actions coming on hear and calling me a liar after I offered a full refund aren't helping my opinion.
I do regret after i said i didn't feel right about offering a refund you felt you had no other recourse than to file a dispute. All you had to do was text me back and tell me you had these problems in the dispute.
