Amen brother. I've never bought from deano but i like the guy and his selling method works for him. Don't want, don't buy. Just s^*tcan the drama.
And people wonder why there’s no long term corporate investment in pool. Between the nits here who won’t spend a dollar and feel the need to protect someone else’s money to the mad hatters who can’t put aside their jealousy for one second to celebrate that billiards made the New York Times for something other than a murder at a pool hall, it’s amazing we can still get CSI and Diamond to invest.
I get that Dean can be seen as a different type of cat. I found it funny he would sell cues without pictures because he didn’t know how to attach pics. But people bought them and never seemed to mind. I can’t remember seeing a thread where anyone was left upset after dealing with the old fart. Sure his methods are weird but so what? He seems like a decent enough guy and I enjoy his stories of the old days. I think many of the folks here butt hurt that done have any skin in the game saw this as an opportunity to lash out at old Deano. For just $500 for Christ’s sake. Basically dinner for two with a decent bottle of wine.
I own the best cue of anyone on this site. Hands down, end of argument. Randy Mobley made me the first custom cue when he moved to his new shop. And when I say it’s the best cue hands down I mean the best for me. I have several other cues from Meucci to McDermot and even a Joss West that’s a old as me, but nothing plays better to me than that Mobley. Dean could send me that Balabushka tomorrow and I bet I would still use that Mobley. And who knows, someone may get their Jackpot cue and feel the same way about it as I feel about my Mobley.
Dean doesn’t owe anyone here a damn thing. He only owes the people who ordered cues a $500 cue. The rest of y’all should just about your business. It’s just freaking $500!!
