NO SHIT..... ALMOST LIKE I KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

IT STILL BLOWS MY MIND THAT, WHEN YOU ANSWER A QUESTION FOR SOMEBODY, THAT THEY WILL ARGUE THE ANSWER. DON'T ASK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW, AND DON'T ASK IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS.

I'VE HAD SEVERAL BIAGIO CUES, SEVERAL MUCH FANCIER THAN THIS ONE. EVEN STRAIGHT AND PERFECT THEY ONLY BRING 2-300. THIS CUE ISN'T STRAIGHT SO MAYBE 1-200.


IF THESE BATCHES OF CUES DIDN'T HAVE ISSUES, I HAVE A FEELING THE BIDS WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH HIGHER.

What blows MY mind is that you and a few others have been mentioning the flaws in this batch of cues and the OP is seemingly blowing right past that and going straight to "unhit and original". Funny how a cue's condition can somehow improve just with a change of ownership.

I GUESS IT'S LIKE THEY SAY, "BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEER HOLDER" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

HELL, I WAS JUST SENT A "LIKE NEW" CUE, WITH THE MOST CROOKED SHAFT I'VE EVER SEEN. I WAS THEN TOLD, "WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL, IT PLAYS FINE"

EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT TOLERANCE FOR THINGS TO MENTION, AND THINGS NOT TO.

EVERY ONE OF THE "BATCHES" SCOT LISTED FOR AUCTION, WERE ALL THE CUES THAT HAD "ISSUES" THAT I'M GUESSING, HE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE MESSING WITH, BECAUSE THE CUES WEREN'T WORTH IT. THESE BATCHES WOULD MAKE NICE BEATER CUES FOR SOMEBODY'S HOME POOL ROOM, BUT CERTAINLY NEED TO BE DISCLOSED WHEN DISCUSSING "VALUE" OR WHEN SELLING THEM. IMO, THEY SHOULD NEVER HAD BEEN BOUGHT FOR RESALE, WHICH IS WHAT I FEAR HAPPENED IN THIS CASE.

CHRIS AND I DISCUSSED THESE AUCTIONS, AND HAD I NOT POINTED OUT THE LISTS OF DEFECTS, CHRIS WAS ALSO READY TO BID. I HAD LOOKED THE AUCTIONS OVER, AND BECAUSE I CAN ID THE CUES, I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE WORTH WITH THE DEFECTS, AND HAD TO STAY AWAY ONCE EACH GROUP WAS OVER $100 OR SO. AFTER FIGURING REPAIRS AND SHIPPING, THEY JUST HAD NO RETURN. BUT I GUESS, IF YOU CAN SELL THEM AS IS, THERE IS SOME MONEY TO BE MADE. I COULDN'T DO THAT.

Love the "big deal it plays fine". Some guys' tolerance on stuff really loosens up when they are SELLING it. I've seen cues flipped so much they turn into Szams, which is a nice trick.

You couldn't do that, Mike can so I guess, in his way, he's providing a service. LOL.
