Eddie,
I really think Jim was asking a general question in effort to help you sell these. I'm not shocked that you didn't get it. I am, however, shocked that you still ignore the rules for bumping your thread. I see that Tom pointed out the rules in your other thread and you were nothing but defensive. That attitude won't help you sell your cues.
And now that both threads are on the front page, which price is correct?
p.s. I still like the maple cue. Is the butt straight, i.e., was it repaired by Jerry when he refinished it?
