Ernie Martinez' 4th Batch

Just heard from Matty and he opted out. I have not heard from Jager Monster yet, we will give him til this evening to respond, then we will open up the cues to all those that are remaining on the list. We'll let it run until Monday morning.

If your on the list and want to select one of the available cues, just post in the thread which cue you want (or post mutiple cues in order of preference). We will stop Monday morning at 7am mountain time - at that time we will see what's what. If more than one want the same cue, the highest on the list will get it to be fair. We want to maintain the integrity of the list. PMs will not be counted toward 1st on the list, it must be posted here to get your place.

Why don't we just say that it can begin at 6PM this evening (Sat). Even if Jager Monster makes his selection, there will be at least 9 cues left.

If there are remaining cues after the Monday morning cut-off - I will open them up to those not on the list of which I have received 4-5 PMs requesting cues off this batch already. Our preference is to stay true to the list but these cues must be sold and paid for to help Ernie.

Again, we cannot thank you enough for your support and I hope this next portion of selection will be fun for all who are interested.

Dave

One more thing, if you have purchased a cue in this 4th batch and would like another one, you will be allowed to select another one or two if available before those who have not been on the list, but after the 1st time buyers on the list had the chance to get one early with no additional waiting. I would rather support those that have been on the list if there would be any interest.

Thanks, Dave
 
One more, one more thing about those on the list that have not bought a cue but want to select one of the remaining cues...

When you select/purchase one of the remaining cues from Batch 4...

...You will remain on the list in the same position, if you choose to remain, you're choice.

Consider this a bonus cue for helping Ernie out.

Thanks, Dave

If you are doing this for the 5th batch people shouldn't the people on the fourth batch list be allowed to opt for a second cue first?

Troy,

I'm finding that it is very difficult to please everybody and I'm trying my butt off to be fair to the list, but sell the cues for Ernie. In my mind I am giving those that have not purchased a cue yet a chance of getting one without the long wait. It would be their option whether or not they want to stay on the list. If they choose to be removed, great they have already met the commitment they made by getting on the list. If they want to stay on, that'a OK too (our gift to them). Either way they will have a wait.

I have previously stated that those that purchased a cue during this 4th batch are welcome to buy again (and with our thanks), but I really want to provide the opportunity for those that are in the queue.

With that said, after 6PM you, or anyone else that have fulfilled their commitment by buying their cue in the 4th batch, can claim their cue(s), but if there are others that claim that same cue and have not purchased a cue (but on the list) would get priority. I can't get any more fair than that.

I hope you understand. And thank you so much for your business and interest in additional cues from Ernie.

No problem Dave you are doing a great job. I can't believe that this many people backed out after waiting so long for these cues.
 
Well

Ill tell you the problem, is that when you buy a custom cue, you want it built to your specs. I passed last batch, to come to this batch and find only one cue that fit my bill of what I was looking for and it forced me to pass. He makes one heck of a cue but I want what I want...before he started with this endeavor, we were in the process of my placing a custom 6 point order, then what happened happened and now this situation.

AND DEFINITELY KUDOS TO DAVE FOR DOING ALL HE HAS DONE TO KEEP IT TOGETHER!!!
 
It's 6:00 PM.....

.... Do you know where your Ernie Cue is??? :D

For those of you that have been following this thread, are on the list, and want one of these beautiful ernie Martinez cues at the pricing listed (which includes shipping costs for this batch only), the posts are now open.

I feel like it's a telethon :o :).

Please post your selections in this thread, no PMs. The priority will be 1st come 1st served, but if there are cues that others want as well (same cues), it will go to the person highest on the list. Those that purchased a cue in the 4th batch can also request cues but we will only fulfill them after those on the list whom have not purchased a cue in previous batches have selected what they want.

I hope this is clear, I'm confusing myself. (see previous posts for additional clarification)

I will let this thread run until Monday @ 7:00 AM mountain time. Afterwhich, if there are cues left over, I will open them up to the AZ community not on the list.

Again, we cannot thank you enough for your support of Ernie and I hope you realize what a great buy you're getting in return. I will check in periodically but you should be able to keep this running yourselves.

Dave

OK, I see there's some activity. Thanks Troy & Robert.

I'm off to bed soon but I'll check on things in the morning. This will continue until Monday morning at 7am. At that time I will post the results based on the priorities mentioned earlier.

Good night, Dave
 
Ernie-dave (how about a couple melamine ferrules)

martinez's cues are very desireable in todays marketplace. Cash on the barrel Head or get out of the way. Erni's cues play all games. Mark

I sent you a PM about this, thanks.
 
Dave,

You have a couple of PMs from me. I am ready to move on any of Ernie's cues that become available to me.

Thanks for your efforts to keep this so well organized.

Yes, Hardball, I have saved your PMs but you will have to claim a cue in this thread after 7am (mountain time) Monday morning if there are any left from those on the list. I have had 5 others PM over the course of theis thread that want to buy a cue but not on the list so it will be up to you to act.

Thanks and good luck.

John John's Pick

My friend John John who is local but added to the list just called me to say he wants to select #461. (first on the list after the original 54)

He has not yet registered but will try to today. Throughout the list when Ernie was contacted by someon local he would just send them to me to be added to the list - There has been nobody taking cuts, even the locals. Ernie is awesome that way and appreciates everything the AZB community has done.

Dave.

Let's keep it going and have fun in the process.
