Actually, I don't normally have a lot of patience with things like this. But after paying for the cue up front, I had no other choice but to be patient.lowcel said:

You have publicly stated at least 4 times in this thread that your reason for this retaliation against Eddie Wheat was due to insults and threats that you received from Eddie Wheat in a Private Message. Since you are using something you received in a Private Message as reason to bash someone Publicly... that you have never had any business with... Then Post um Up!!! for us all to read!!!! Let's see these threats and insults that you are repeatedly refferring to.
The Wheat cue didn't come in todays mail.
Eddie, you need to post the insurance #... seriously!
Eddie, you need to post the insurance #... seriously!
Yesterday was a Holiday, and maybe the Cue was delayed because of the Holiday. Personally when I send anyone a package via the USPS, I always do a Delivery Confirmation, as it show the item WAS sent, and provides some tracking info, as the package move along the route to final destination.

No can do. I deleted the private messages and then blocked incoming Pm's. You seem to be on good terms with wheat.Ask him if he did not make petty threats towards me and use an insult to adress me in a pm. Maybe he will be honest with you and admit what he said.My thread was originally to speak out against what I felt was an injustice.When wheat made the mistake of contacting me and crossed the line of civility that insured I was all in until the matter is resolved.Once again I state that I do not believe telling the truth is "bashing".Why do you not have a serious talk with your friend wheat and tell him to come clean, own up to his mistakes and make amends? Is it retaliation to take a stand in a public forum against a disreputable person ? I do not think it is retaliation. wheat could have avoided all of the this by owning up to his mistakes, not making false promises of delivery,refunding Mr. Edwards his money or getting him his cue and refraining from contacting me in a rude manner. How is it Bigjohn that you can stand by silently when you are witness to a wrong?Your posts would be more meaningful if directed at wheat.

"Blackjack" and "Bigjohn" perhaps you could have your friend wheat fess up the insurance number so that Mr. Edwards could confirm the cue was mailed? Why not ask him to take the mystery out of the equation and allow Mr. Edwards to have peace of mind? Put yourselves in Mr. Edwards position.Would you not want people to speak out against what wheat has done? Would you still claim that wheat using a public forum to take money and not deliver as promised is not the business of the forum members?
Sincerely,
Brian
4 business days later on Priority Mail
and still no delivery. No tracking info provided even after repeated requests - RED FLAG. I truly wanted to believe Eddie, but I can't hold my breath any longer hoping he redeems a fraction of himself. Maybe he mailed it a couple days later than he claimed, but that's still BS. The odds that a properly addressed package via Priority Mail did not make it in 4 business days is very remote.
It's another dark day in the seemingly never ending '08 Wheat Train Wreck. :sad:

The cue was shipped.
I am not responsible for anything Eddie says or does. After watching this thread grow for a few days, I decided to post the fact that the cue was shipped. You can believe that or not believe it. I am not here defending anything that Eddie has said or done to you privately. I am not condoning anything that Eddie might have said or done to anybody in any thread. I don't have the time to read all of the stuff that goes back and forth in every thread. Most of the arguing/negativity doesn't interest me.
I will post what I do know about this situation.
The cue was shipped.
You can accept that as fact, or you can continue to post that it wasn't shipped - but then again, how would you know for sure? The fact is - I know for sure - and you don't. That is one hell of an advantage that I have over you when it pertains to this situation, dontcha think?
You don't like Eddie or the way he does business. We all understand that. Don't buy his cues, don't recommend him or anything associated with him and be done with it. Put him on ignore and go on with your life.
I could see if you were helping this situation, but you're not. The cue was shipped and you have no basis for saying that it wasn't. Your posts are only aggravating this situation. I am not the only person that has pointed that out to you.
You keep dragging up my name and asking me to do something about Eddie not shipping the cue sooner - sorry - I have no control over what Eddie says and does in this forum or with his business dealings. I have my own crap to worry about. What I will do is say this once again - The cue was shipped and Charlie should be receiving it - it could be delayed because of the holiday - or due to Hurricane Gustav - who knows? Just quit saying that the cue was never shipped. I will dispute that every time you insinuate it because that's not true.
Charlie, once again, you have nothing to worry about, the cue was shipped to you.
Good post, but "nothing to worry about"? It's a little too late for that and he STILL doesn't have it in his hands, shipped or not. I've seen a lot of things that happen during shipping and some VERY interesting packaging, it will be nice when Mr. Edwards receives his cue in good order.

I handle my own business... and if you were repeatedly bashing someone on my behalf... I would tell you to shut your yapper!!! The way I see it, now that you have deleted the insulting and threatening PM's from Mr Wheat, your only objective is to start trouble in a situation that has absolutely nothing to do with you. You should seriously... get a life!:frown:

Your post is not responsive to my post number 126. I requested , since you seem to be his friend , that you have him provide proof of mailing to Mr. Edwards.I have raised the question of wheat's credibility regarding shipping of the cue because he made the same claim on 4 previous occassions.How difficult is it to provide insurance numbers to Mr. Edwards so that he can confirm shipment?
I do not like the way whaet does business. I would never do business or recommend him as a cue maker and I would definately never associate with him. I will not ignore what I feel to be an injustice committed by wheat.I understand that many people do not wish to get involved or to speak out against a wrong. That is the easy way out.I was not raised that way.I was taught early on to confront injustice and dishonesty.I was not raised to tolerate insults and disrespect because it only invites more of the same.I make no apologies for my beliefs.I did not "drag" you into this situation.The cue appeared with you in a picture posted 19 August 2008.That was my first mention of you.Since then you have injected yourself into this thread appearing as defending wheat's actions.In post number 126 I requested that you help Mr. Edwards attain some peace of mind.The least you can do.

Brian,
I think it's admirable to want to help out Charlie but I believe it's time to wait to see what happens. Arguing with Dave isn't going to solve anything and it sure isn't going to get Charlie his cue any faster. Based on David's previous posts, he has been to Eddie's shop which leads me to believe he has definitive knowledge that the cue has been shipped. My advice, and advice I am using myself, is to wait and see.
Regards,
Koop

I am not defending anybody. Eddie is a grown man and he can fight his own battles without my help. If he wants to post the insurance information, then he will. I'm not going to hold his hand, or tell a grown man what to do or what not to do. He will either do what is right, or he won't.
Either way, I have no control over that or how he conducts himself in the forum.
I do know this: The cue was shipped and it is on its way.
FTR, I have met Eddie one time and one time only. We have spoken on the phone one time since then. So we're not best buddies or very close friends. Eddie is NOT currently building a cue for me - I am not receiving any favors or freebies for writing a review of my visit to his shop. I was not in possession of Charlie Edwards' cue (some have insinuated that ... that's a ridiculous assumption). I went to Eddie's shop and Remy took a picture of me holding the cue a few months ago.
Whoop-dee-doo.
The cue was delayed - it happens. It's cuemaking, not pizza delivery. Things happen and delays occur. In the world of business, the customer is always right ... this situation is no different.
If I did not have first hand knowledge that the cue was shipped, I would have never responded to this thread at all. You can jump on Eddie all you want - I really don't care, BUT... all I ask is that you get facts straight before insinuating that he didn't ship the cue - especially when there are people (PLURAL - as in more than one person) that can verify that the cue WAS shipped.
He didn't ship it overnight - that would have been a good gesture on Eddie's part - but then again that was Eddie's call, not mine. Regardless, due to weather and the holiday the delivery could be delayed. The cue is definitely on its way to Charlie Edwards. It'll get there soon enough - it's already late (we all know that) give it another day or so.
BURP ! Excuuuuuuuuuuse ME
Well, if Blackjack said the cue was shipped, that's good enough for me, but the suspense of Charlie not receiving it is nerve wracking.
I've decided to go on a Krispy Kreme eating donut binge until Charlie receives his $700 Wheat Cue. If the cue hasn't arrived by Thursday, I'm switching to DOMINO'S delivery, Hooters Wings and Popeye's Chicken until this matter is resolved.

One simple Question for you:
With so little interaction with EW Just how do you know the cue was shipped?

A good friend of mine was with Eddie when he shipped the cue to Charlie Edwards. My friend posts here, he is a very honest man. If he wishes to contribute to this thread he will. If he doesn't chime in, it is understandable. If you want to question my credibility or infer that I may not have my facts straight ... that is your right, but the cue WAS shipped.
