Hello Chris,
Okay, I have given the phone numbers to my father. (the owner of the cue) He is going to call Runde and Clark and the person the cue was purchased from, via conference call. Then, Bill Loucks (the buyer of the cue) will be informed of the outcome. Although my job as a professional nothing (which happens to pay very well) will hinder me from posting during the week, if I hear anything interesting I'll try to post next Friday night.
This posting stuff kind of gives the trash talking hotheads, who most likely can't really get there, a chance to utter defamatory statements and slander peoples' names as they see fit. And thereby voicing their opinions without any repercussion. I'm sure this one will get it's share. Gentleman, take an example from Mr. F. Agnir, he doesn't jump to conclusions he gathers facts, makes a point and doesn't wander aimlessly placing blame left and right.
Although I have written it a few times, I'm still not sure anybody is aware this was not my cue. I will argue to the end on my fathers' behalf, but the final decision is his. He told me not to write anything on here from the beginning, but the guy started in on my private parts. Even somebody that couldn't get there would have jumped on that! Furthermore, Chris did not buy this cue, Bill Loucks did. Apparently, he will argue until the end as well. (I have the funniest feeling he does much arguing on this forum) But, it comes down to the final outcome being decided by them, regardless of outside opinion.
By the way Chris, the Eddie Laube we originnally bought from you way back when, by way of eBay auction. In your description you said it was pictured in the "Billiard Encyclopedia". Well, you were wrong! That's not it. Was that a mistake? Because I know people make mistakes. Did you know those two cues were not the same? And just to prove what I have been saying about what our business ethics were when we were in the business, "Did we ever cry to the masses about you lying on purpose?" Did we tell everybody you were a scam artist? No, we looked at your feedback and we figured you made a mistake. Now, if you don't want to comment on this, that's fine. But if you try to say it is not true, don't think just because it took place two and a half years ago we don't have the proof. Dick Abbott is not the only person that saves everything, Leonard Wale does too.
Jack Justis still makes the best case in the world!
Regards,
David Wale
