This is absurd.
Mike posted a cue for sale. He posted a buy in now price. Whatever Mike paid for the cue is his business, and his business only. If you have evidence of what he paid for the cue, ie, showing a previous thread, so what? all it really amounts to is just a rude thing to do to a seller, but certainly will not affect a serious buyer interested in the cue from Mike now. I guess every cue that I own all receipts for what I paid for each one is now the tone huh? Gee, wont that make selling a cue a lot of fun. If I sell it less than my purchase price, will the buyer reimburse me for that loss, or does it only matter if a
Profit is made? As for the personal (negative) comments directed at Mike, in a thread
He started by listing a beautiful cue for sale, I think that is completely low class, and not to mention, from my experiences, completely un true. Mike has always treated me completely fairly, and his products have been superb. He stands behind his products and if not happy with it, without hesitation, accepts it back, and this is from several years first hand experience, long before he became a member of this forum.. So all of this talk of cue pimp, a disgrace to this forum, etc. etc. is totally out of line, and completely the opposite is true. I highly enjoy seeing his posts. He it an asset to the cue community, and to the cue makers, who?s products he promotes, by making available quality cues, with a quality presentation of specs and photos . By the way, I have not met Mike, so its not as though I would be different from any other would be internet buyer.
