I’ve never ordered a custom sneaky (vs buying one already made) because there’s no telling what it will look like until it’s done. I’ve seen coca & bocote sneakys that were beautiful, & others that were bland/ugly. Also, those denser wood sneakys are rarely 18.5 oz. So ordering a sneaky like those means dropping big $ on a cue, sight unseen. You could make another 50 sneakys like the one I missed & it wouldn’t look as good or weigh as light. Add in finding one already made that’s 3/8-10 & 13mm, & for $350, odds are 1 in a million. Over the yrs, every reseller I’ve contacted has been an asshole or crook. But cue makers have been worse. For some reason, they are like doctors, most of whom are offended by patients’ questions, even if the doctor is wrong. (In Jan of this year, an ER visit ****ed up my heart, but because I don’t have a previous image of my heart, I can’t sue them, & because my drs knew I had no way to prove the ****up, they refused to diagnose/fix me because it could have meant a lawsuit, so instead they left my heart near heart failure, while I’m out over $4,000 out-of-pocket on tests that cured nothing). Because of my experiences with cue makers & sellers, & because finding a coca or bocote sneaky light enough is so hard, I gave up searching. But late Thurs, Nov 29 (1:30 am Nov 30), I saw your sneaky & joined AZ to post a message to get first in line. After the yr I’ve had with my heart, it would have been great to end it with something good by finally getting the sneaky I’ve wanted for 5 yrs. But based on experience, I knew asking questions might ruffle another touchy cue maker. But I asked anyway, which, as I wrote in my post, was to avoid a return scenario. So I was first in line. But instead of putting me first & answering my questions, you sold it out from under me to 9ballsfearme, who posted to the forum over 5 hrs AFTER I did to say he sent you a PM & had first shot (I was new to AZ & didn’t know what a PM was). The next morning, I didn’t see a reply from you on the forum answering my questions, but I finally figured out I could send you a message directly, so I did, not knowing that such a message was a PM. In that message I asked you what a PM was. And do you know what your reply was? “The cue is sold.” So you didn’t even have the courtesy to answer a simple question & tell me what a PM was. What made your lack of an answer even worse was that you knew the PM issue was why you didn’t give me first shot (as you explained in a later PM). So I thought, “can this jerk go any lower?” And predictably you did, by posting a reply in the forum section (after the cue sold) offering to make me a cue, but ending it with “SOLD” in big red letters, as though to rub in that I had missed out. So I have some questions. First, why are on-line cue makers such arrogant prima donnas? Who in the hell do you think you are? You think because your product is in demand it gives you the right to be assholes? In case you haven’t noticed, you make cues. You’re not a first responder, you’re not wearing a uniform for our country, and you’re not performing life-saving surgery. As for you saying I lost out because I wasn’t first to send a PM or because I didn’t say “I’ll take the cue” in my post (vs asking questions first), that was the lame excuse of someone with no integrity. You don’t even know the meaning of the word. So I’ll try to explain it in terms your pea brain can understand. It means knowing the right thing to do & then doing it. And in this case, that would meant answering my questions to see if I wanted to buy. Were you afraid that if you did the right thing (I forgot, you don’t know what that is), I might not buy the cue & it would end up unsold? That would be a lie because custom cues fly off the shelf & you damn well know it. You also knew that if I hadn’t bought it, 9ballsfearme would have. No, you didn’t do the right thing because you have no integrity, because you lack the willingness & courtesy to take the trouble (& what trouble it would have been) to answer a few questions, & because you’re a greedy, inconsiderate ***** who couldn’t wait a few hrs to sell the cue. And speaking of 9ballsfearme, he has no more integrity than you. If he had any, when he posted after seeing that I posted interest hrs before he did, he would have posted, “Skeebs, I can see you’re new, so you probably don’t know what a PM is. It means sending a private message. I also want the cue, but because you showed interest first, I’m gonna send Sly a PM but you’re first in line.” That’s what I would’ve done. But that’s not what he did. Then after he got the cue, he posted again to rub it in. So just like you, he’s a cutthroat mother ****er. As for on-line cue makers, you need to take your heads out of your asses & grow the **** up. I haven’t felt this kicked in the stomach in years & I’ll never forget this, especially after a 5-yr search & the yr I’ve had. All thanks to a low-down piece of shit like you.
