Sorry Mr Wilson......(moderator sir)
Seems like everytime Ken and I have an opinion, whether it's about my cues or his, you moderators step in and warn, and suspend etc ......how do I say it nicely................"not Ken".
Question.......
Just curious......Might I be dealing with Uncle Ken?, or cousin Ken, when it comes to you? Whats the deal with the public warnings.
I have never trashed anyones thread.....I am an advocate for pool, an owner of many hi-end cues and a respectful member at AZ with a feedback of 100% 13 times over +++.
I merely stated that it seems "self glorifying", at our expense, to continue to offer cues of this caliber, fully knowing that they will not move, merely to hear comments such as "wow Ken" "maybe I'll sell both my cars and take out a loan Ken" etc. I made my statement because every other day I see a cue offered by Ken, that will never see the blue side of a Master chalk cube, simply to show that "Ken" has more money he than knows what to do with.
What's more.....A moderator doesn't need to bully and warn members in this public manor. We all have PM's. A strategically placed PM is a very powerful tool which also allows the ability to comunicate in "private" your overview of the situation........and if........afterwards........it comes out.......... he does happen to be your relative.........well lesson learned. (but in private)
Check my feedback and history........I am an active member who interacts with thought out comments when posting. Note, not every post has to agree with the moderators view if it is thought out and correctly placed. If I have broken a rule I apologize.....if I were to start my own thread concerning this it would have definetly looked as if I were harrassing "Ken". Ken knows his cues will not sell on AZ.....this is the frustrating concern. He simply uses "wanted/for sale" as his personal "cue gallery">
Mr Wilson........thanks for listening. (And point made)

for an apology, I give a relative of my own to enjoy ...... so......."mangi..mangi"

I don't know what "mangi...mangi" is...but I sure do like it...
High End Cues
I would have to respectfully disagree that most of A-Z can't afford these type of cues. There are many that post and even more that lurk here that have very deep pockets indeed.
I also think there are those that can't afford some these cues because of other obligations presently (family ect) but these people still love cues and enjoy seeing these high end masterpieces.
I also respect that Ken isn't afraid to put a price on his stuff rather than playing the pm me game. JMO

Excellent cue
John certainly take His time, BUT , the end result IS ALWAYS A MASTERPIECE!
Look closely at any of Johns cues, Everything is painstakingly accurate with fit, finish/detail, etc
Ive only played with 2 Showmans, both play great too
