Custom cues on layaway?
- Thread starter QShark
- Start date
Back in my hookers-n-crack days that was my motto, buy it when u got it.
Too many way for deal to go sideways, you'd need some stipulations as to fees for taking too long, backing out, etc. If i was selling anything i wouldn't use LA as an option. Save your schekels then go shopping.N
Nice Axe!!

I hear there are plenty of cuemakers who will take money down and money each month. Some of them will even deliver a cue eventually.
Two excellent cue makers so selling them should be relatively quick when priced right. I have one major regret about a Richard Black cue I bought and returned due to the weight being heavier than I wanted. I wish I had that cue and the
weight wouldn’t matter. The RB cue was offered for sale by Cornerstone Cues and it weighed 19.25 ozs. and I wanted
18.5 ozs. There wasn’t any weight bolt to remove but it was a rare cue build according to Richard whom I spoke with to
see if he could make the cue lighter. Nope, it is what it is was his reply but he said he could build me one but the wait time was longer than I expected so I didn’t act. The cue was Richard’s Bushka design and it had a flat ivory joint which
Richard said he made very few….he said likely made only a few Bushka cues with a flat ivory joint versus piloted ivory and of course, mostly 5/16x14 steel joints. I kick myself over letting that cue get away….it was really a rare cue but after a week, I returned the cue for a credit and used it to get a Joss West cue I later sold…wish I kept that RB Bushka cue.

Hello, this is Eddie P the owner of Crossroad Cues. Just FYI the last thing we do is any type of false advertisement. If you have contacted us before and I didn't want to do a " layaway " on any specific cues it's because we require 25% -50 % down to do a " layaway " and you may not have been willing to do that amount. Yes it is also true that my adds on fb and our website Crossroadcues.com all do state that we offer flexible payment plans, layaway and financing options because we do! Whenever someone does not want to do a large down-payment on a cue or a case, the option to do the payment plan with the financing company on our website is always available! People buy cues and cases from us on a daily basis using the flexible payment plans and financing because it's a great opportunity to purchase a desired item with very little cash up front and even get zero % interest!
Feel free to check out these options on ( any products on out website at any time. ) If you have any questions or interest in a cue or case, feel free to give us a call anytime. You will see a ( Tremendous) amount of perfect reviews and positive feedback on us all over the place because we run a very honest and reputable business. Thanks - Eddie P @ Crossroad Cues.

Eddie is great to deal with.
Back when people didn’t have the information now they were easier to close and pre-sell something based on scarcity.
“I don’t want to miss out” was the mind set of the consumer in the past. So to lock in a purchase they would make a deposit to hold the item until they were whole and could buy it.
2 things in my option changed that concept.
Credit cards and the internet.
It’s clear the supply chain is stronger now. And it’s possibly to shop anywhere so no need to lock anything up.
And credit cards are the backbone of the American economy so everyone is always whole and besides who wants to wait?
That’s what killed lay away imo
What was the question?
