My account was hijacked during the Schick cue auction. Pay no attention to the second chance offers being sent out and I show alot of them. The winner has not contacted me yet so I think it is all a a wash. During this exact same time my phone service was hit by lightning and it went out.
Sorry I was not even able to post here because this sight was having the on and off again server problems.
Can you say snake bit!
Everything is reset with ebay but I don't know if I will do the ebay thing again. I really should try again. Who could pass up all that fun::mad:

Hackers on eBay and AOL

Nick,

I just caught a hacker yesterday on ebay and on aol. They had up the Jim White cue aka James White. Said it was a $3900 value. In their description they asked to be contacted at an aol address before bidding or the bid would be removed. I contacted them to talk and they said there were in PA. I'm in Florida. It all seemed funny so I said I was in PA and asked to come by and see the cue. They immediately blocked my instant messages and put them selves invisible to me online. I have other screen names so I switched to another they didn't know of and sure enough they were still online. I contacted eBay and aol. I searched for the Jim White auction and it had been removed. They gave me a story of had to sell the cue today because they were leaving for a business trip and wouldn't be back for 3 weeks. So there was no time for me to stop by and view the cue. I could send them the money and they would mail me the cue. haha.. Getting very tired of eBay. AOL told me they would contact the original owner of the account and see what's going on. Hope I did some good.

Thanks,
Josh Hillard

I got one of those offers. My high bid was $830., so it seemed real. But I didn't bite since it looked fishy. I'll take it for my high bid. Let me know.
 
Thanks

Thank you for your generous offer. The auction ended higher and I can always relist. I am looking for over a thousand. I am sorry if this is a bad number for you. I would trade for Tank's Jensen!
Thanks
Nick :)

I, too, think my offer was generous... since the cue was listed in eBay for 5 days and the winning bid was $860. BTW, I withdraw my offer. Good luck with your sale.
 
God luck

If you can get a plain sneaky for $830 made by Bill Schick buy it. You will be getting a deal. After all he must have made a milion of them. I see them everywhere. Oh wait. That was in 1985.
If you are using a hijacked auction that was TKOed as a guide for what I should take for this cue you are not useing good judgement. Many people have contacted me saying they didn't bid because something seemed fishy.
$830 is not a good number anywhere this year for this cue with ine shaft.
Nick :)
The winning bidder contacted me and will take the cue.

Nick (or anyone else),

How do these guys grab your account to hijack it? Do they ask you to email them to get your info, etc, or do they just copy your ad?

So $860 was what the cue went for... right? Looks like my $830 offer wasn't very far off.

Thanks for educating me on the price of Schick sneaky petes. LOL. I own one with two shafts, ivory ferrules, unchalked, never hit a ball... and not for sale. I have another coming from Mr. Schick himself. The rosewood butt is complete and the shafts are nearly complete. He said it will be shipped within 2 weeks. It, too, will have 2 shafts, ivory ferrules, and again, not for sale. It's cost is $850. Bill said this one is likely the last sneaky or plain cue he is going to build. He built it as a favor to me, but I didn't get a cut in the price.

If you don't believe me, call Bill Schick. He's very easy to reach by phone.

I'm sorry you could only get $860 for your cue. I wish you could have gotten more. That would have meant that my cues would be worth more than I probably could get for them, judging by what yours sold for.
 
Good luck

Bill works on Schick time. He is a great guy. Two weeks in Bill's worls is usually two working weeks and he only works on cues for a hour or two a day. So maybe by Christmas if you are lucky! And Yes he did you a favor even if you get the cue a year from now.
He also has his poolrom and land to maintain. He may tell you he is shipping your cue tomorrow and not get to it for 6 months just becuase he is so envolved with so many things. He is not just a cue maker.
Good luck
Nick :)

This will be my fifth Schick cue, the third directly from him. IMO, you are wrong about some of the things you said... but you got it right when you called him a great guy. That, sir, he is!
