I wouldnt sell you a 5$ bill for 20$, you're tough to deal with.
And on the somewhat constructive side: please NEVER buy a cue you can't touch first.

This is the part I don't understand. People keep buying cues to play with that they've never tried shots with. If they care about the way a cue hits the ball, they're almost guaranteed to be disappointed. I think a lot of people won't admit to themselves that they've made a mistake and continue to play with the mistake. After all, Joe said that these cues hit a ton.
Bob;
Ideally, we should all go to a big event where there are lots of cues to try before buying but this isn't always an option, at least not an easy one.
If you buy online intelligently (mostly to do with researching which cue, what seller, and knowing what is a fair price) then you should be fine.
If the cue doesn't meet your playability expectations, sell it and try another one.
best,

slight roll out can effect resale, for example, instead of getting the buck and a half you paid you may only get a buck forty
(example strictly for illustration purposes)
you may consider privately contacting the seller to see if he/she will stand good for any financial shortfall you may incur:smile:

You are a very funny guy (lol), but to be honest, I was not looking for a warped cue. I would not have purchased it if I knew about this roll out. I asked the seller if there is any roll out in the butt, and he told me that the cue rolls straight.

The seller did not offer me a return on the cue.

I did that before I created this thread. The most the seller offered to do for me if re work the shaft if I sent the shaft back to him. No offer on a refund, or anything else.

There would be no issues with dealing with me, just so you were honest about the condition of the item you were selling me.
The shaft has nothing to do with the butt rolling out.

Lol, you are right. I do have OCD (really bad). Thanks for the info about the other way to check for the straightness of a cue. I will give that a try. Too bad it is not the norm though. I rarely ever seen anyone roll a cue on the rail. It has been so long ago (2009 was the last time I see that, I think), that I forgot about it.
I have bought a few "used" cues online, some play better than others, but these were not super high end cues, so I was willing to take the risk....

Yes, I know, but I also told the seller that I was really unhappy with the taper of the shaft (and that is why he offered to re work the shaft for me, if I shipped it back to him). I expected the shaft to have a very stiff taper on it though, so that is my fault. I am really just unhappy about the roll out in the butt (not to mention the fact that I really do not like the shaft).

Finding that perfect cue that is just right for you is like winning the lottery (it will probably never happen, at least for me anyways). I understand the risk in ordering a cue online that I have never played with. The only cue that ever felt perfect for me was this South East (Nat Green custom) cue I had. I never felt so much confidence when playing with any other cue in my life. I will always regret selling that cue. I should have held on to it. Sadly, I may never find another cue that felt so perfect for me.

You complained about the shaft first? You are every sellers nightmare. I am starting to understand the comment someone made about you trying to get something for nothing on an unrelated topic.
You are always working an angle.

You sir, have probably sealed the deal that just about no one is gonna want to deal with you going forward. Many were on the fence but I doubt that anymore.

No, I contacted the seller to tell him about the roll out in the butt, and on a side note, I told him that I was unhappy with the taper of the shaft (but I also noted that I expected the stiff taper in the shaft). The shaft was not my complaint (it was just a side note). The main reason I contacted the seller about was the roll out in the butt.
If the butt would have rolled perfect (like the seller told me if did), then I would have not contacted the seller at all (other then to let him know that I was very happy with the cue), and you guys would not be seeing this thread. I did not expect to be happy with the shaft (so that was not the issue), and had planned on finding a 2nd shaft for sale somewhere.
