Has anyone been ripped off enough to press charges?
About the same age...colors his hair/beard...never got his last name...

Cornerman said:Hey Rodney. Well, between you and me, and the friends we have in the pool world in this area, you'd think we'd hear something more.
His name supposedly is Chuck Wheeler. But, that could be a fake.

you paid $250 bucks to rent a car to go see him?
you bought cues from him?
know his address and tel. no. ?
but you never caught his last name?![]()
you are one weird dude antonio !![]()
tonyboy59 said:Well, let's put it this way...I don't recall asking...he may have said it but I didn't really care. I was there strictly to conduct business and if he said he was Tony Saprano I probably still wouldn't have caught it. Too often I have seen guys (young/old) taken by mail scams and that's why I offered to go there to see his merchandise. If he would have said no...then I knew he didn't have the Omega/DPK that he had advertised. I mean after all, if your going to pay a significant amount of cash for a cue what's $250.00 in the whole scheme of things. On second thought I should have bought that Schick titlist...it was nice.

This is the time when he first started out using Pinoy cuemakers. Notice his mention of Bing Cues together with the legends. This is his kick-off on marketing Filipino cues.

This is when Warren L talked about a letter from a Filipino cuemaker (XXXX) that q#@&###%@$ aka cuemuseum was using. http://groups.google.com.ph/group/rec.sport.billiard/msg/e9bf1cc7b572a9bc?dmode=source
Do a RSB search, it can never be deleted. It's all there.
TATE said:Maybe, maybe not. Are you sure it's an Omega/DPK? We know you got a JW out of the deal, but the there are lots of cues that could be passed off as Omega's. Dealing with someone like this, who's going to be certain? That Schick might have been a Gillette too.

classiccues said:Well Marcus, I think you should get your cue back. You know living in a perfect world and all. But you took 500 and didn't get a police report. Those two things work against you. Also if anything were to happen now to Chuck, you and a few people should start working on their alibies right now. Never put in print, what you might regret later.
