I just want to warn everyone that my good friend just had a very bad experience with Leonard and David Wale. My friend, Bill, is putting together a beautiful collection of early Schon's and bought this cue from them:

He reached a negotiated off the books deal on E-Bay. When the cue came in, it was missing the inlays in the other points. Naturally, they photographed the one point that had the inlay for the ad! The mystery was solved when Evan Clark informed my firend that he thought the cue had been turned in an effort to straighten it, and whoever did the work sanded through the other inays.
David Wale, who has the e-mail address walefam5@bellsouth.net and operates out of Florida, refused to take the cue back, even though my friend contacted him for a refund within a few days. I personally called Leonard and wrote David to no avail. I had, unfortunately, given them a good reference from a prior positive experience.
When they say buyer beware, forewarned is forearmed. Wow.
