Me thinks that some sellers are a bit too sensitive about comments made about the cue that they are trying to sell... in essense, this forum is like a flea market where a lot of people pass by during the day... some pass w/o comment... some pass with comment... for whatever reason... ALL do not deserve a response by the seller... the seller can simply "pass" on making a comment if he'she feels the passer-by's comment was not sincere... and then a few stop, pause, consider making an offer... and then some do make an offer... all of this is fwiw, btw.
Buck, you have been here long enough, don't worry about what others say, I have always been impressed with the way you do business, just keep up the good work. You have been a pleasure to deal with, very professional.
