Dom-poppa. You were making statements on another thread about how you could get a cue directly from Pete Tascarella with a phone call, and that the waiting list is a farce - or could be circumvented. Now you say that you have one in the works. You also made statements that they were not much more than a regular (entry level) playing cue. You are insulting the maker's workmanship and questioning his integrity. How do you think those statements will affect his business? Do you think that the people on the waiting list will be pleased? You now come on my thread and stink it up by dropping ridiculous price quotes and inferring that it is quick turn around time to get a cue. We on this forum are not numb enough to miss the inference that the waiting list can be open to some covert, out of turn, cue buy. You are a disgrace. I sincerely doubt that Mr. Tascarella would risk his reputation and integrity with his loyal customers for a $2,500 cut rate payday. Especially for someone like you that has made disparaging remarks about his cues and his business practices. If I were him - I wouldn't sell you a plain merry widow for $10,000. You figured you could get those inferences in by starting with a complimentary comment. Sorry - no dice.
