240 posts so far. Seems the problem ha been taken care of. He ordered a shaft, and he obviously has gotten the 'shaft'. If he also wanted the butt, well, I guess he has gotten it there too! Case solved.

I like the "so far" in your post. (and the play on words).
We are probably somewhere around the 50% mark. (Just a SWAG)

My mail usually comes early but on Thursdays its at least 4-5 o'clock as a fill-in postman is used because this is my regular carrier's day off.


I along with everyone(except obviously a certain someone) has been hoping for a good ending to this Charlie but I think you said it clearly in the above post, your mail "usually comes". Hoping for the best today, despite Florida being humid and all, and close to Cuba, and having sand crabs lol(all excuses I would not be at all surprised to see EW use as a delay for USPS travel time)

The poster said they believed I wouldn't respond with information about getting a part refund from Eddie. I posted that I would respond, if I get one, meaning I would be honest about it because I owe Eddie Wheat NOTHING.

I understood what you were saying Charlie and didn't think you needed to reread the post you responded to again, a bit more carefully.
 
I'm confused, what was wrong with my post? I wasn't saying anything negative at all about Charlie, I just thought that he may want to keep the information private. I figured it was his business so he had no "need" to display the information publicly just because I (and a few others I imagine) are curious.

It's about time for the mail, let's keep our fingers crossed! I am just as curious about how much of a refund Eddie thinks Charlie's time and aggravation warrants. I doubt that Charlie discloses this information but it would be nice to see how Eddie value's other people's time.

Charlie Edwards said:
I'll disclose it. I owe Eddie Wheat NOTHING.

My point being, the original post, it reads as lowcel asking how much of a refund Charlie would be owed - not how much Charlie would owe Eddie.

I think that Charlie was stating that he doesn't owe Eddie anything as far as not disclosing the amount, not that he doesn't owe him anything money wise. Of course I have been wrong before. :)

IMO, I think what Charlie meant by that was He doesn't owe Eddie any kind of loyalty, or respect, not money, therefore he would post the info even if it makes Eddie look bad.

The cue still hasn't arrived?

Damn, Eddie. What the hell did you do, strap it to the back of a turtle and point it towards Texas?

What the hell?

Don't backpedal now David, you said it yourself several times that your good friend shipped the cue and so it was "in the mail" for sure. Maybe he jacked the UPS driver before he made it to the hub so that he could get the cue back, postpartum depression doesn't only affect women right? Ha ha.

Probably just addressed an empty box back to himself. Thus the reason for not giving any insurance detail and such. Alternatively, he could have purposely put in an invalid address, and thus, the box was returned to sender. All this speculation is still getting nowhere. Charlie has not received his cue. Seems like the 700 bucks was best spent on powerball. At least there was some possibility of getting something.

LOL... The cue was shipped on Friday and should be there by now - I thought it would have been there yesterday - at the latest. Now I'm wondering what the hell is going on.

About the backpedalling - not really backpedalling, fwiw - since last week I have looked at this situation as an opportunity for Eddie to do the right thing. Too bad he didn't. The only reason I said anything in this thread was to confirm that the cue was shipped because that is what I was told on Saturday. I am not sure why Eddie couldn't confirm that information. I am not sure why the person that was with him couldn't do that, so I took those shots in the ass - and for what? In the end I look like an ass when it doesn't show up at Charlie's door.

FWIW, I think this situation is far beyond repair for Eddie Wheat. The least he could have done was ship it overnight - gotten to Charlie quickly. Whatever happens after this situation is over should not effect me at all, but will it?


NOTE for Eddie:
Sorry Eddie, but when my association with ANYBODY reflects poorly upon my credibility, I take a giant step back and re-evaluate the situation. I cannot agree with the way you have handled this situation publicly. You're getting plenty of attention, but it all has to do with your lack of personal responsibility, not your cuemaking. You are very talented at what you do, its just too bad nobody will know that because you drove them away with all of this nonsense.
 
Hope you realize I am just messing with you David, I know you are just trying to smooth over a much trampled-on situation. Too bad people don't know how to act and it makes a fiasco out of a relatively simple transaction, it's a chance to shine and they make a shitpile out of it.

Is there ANY part of the game/sport that is doing well? The Action Report is the only shining beacon I can see in this sea of bullshit.

Edit: On a personal good note this girl got her boyfriend 10 hours worth of lessons from me for his 21st birthday coming up, he is a good guy and the lessons will be fun. On a bad note people at the pool hall STILL ask me for favors/deals on Predator equipment, I haven't worked there in a year and a half but they still don't stop asking for shit. Geez.

I know you're just f***ing with me, Neil! lol

There are plenty of bright spots in pool- btw, did you catch that interview Wei did with Jasmin Ouschan?

Beautiful lady!

Thanks for explaining what I meant. I have read so much of EW twisting things that I've started doing the same thing. LOL.

David, don't beat yourself up one bit. Eddie is very lucky to have a friend like you. You were only trying to help him. I admire and respect you for that. I, too, very vigorously stand up for my true friends. It's unfortunate that sometimes we get bitten for being the way we are. But I, like you, won't ever change.

Thanks Charlie. Sometimes clarity is one of the things you learn in situations such as this.

What has gotten me pissed off, it is the fact that when I posted that the cue was shipped -Eddie could have given you an estimated time of delivery, confirmed what I said - nobody said anything and my ass was hung out to dry looking like an ass every day that passed without delivery.

I just wanted you to know that I was told that the cue was on its way - I feel I owed that to you seeing the last time all of us saw this cue it was in MY hands.

Hopefully it will arrive to you soon enough - hopefully somebody will provide you with the tracking information -I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
 
Meanwhile, back at Wheat HQ......
