One of the worst cue decriptions ever on Ebay

The cue has great balance. What the H3LL does that mean. Everything has a balance point. Where is it. Is he balancing it by the tip on the tip of his finger?

The cue was made THE EARLY 90'S TO LATE 80'S. Kind of backwards
 
I'm simply fascinated by the concept of "Cocoburl." I'm thinking it's sort of like Cocopuffs...only different.
 
haha wow, thats awesome, gotta get some of that cocoburl in my next cue!!

THIS CUE IS GUARANTEED TO BE WHAT I SAID IT IS OR YOUR WELCOME TO RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND MINUS SHIPPING

What will he say when you buy the cue and tell him the wood isnt actually the exotic cocoburl he stated!!
 
Come On Guys

The cue does burl in the handle. If somebody is not happy I'll take it back for any reason. Balance means it feels good in the hand based on where it would be nose heavy or butt heavy. It is neither. It's a nice cue. I fully disclosed everything along pics of the shafts calipered so theres no questions. Full disclosure!!!
 
Right!

That Would Be Fine, The Only Problem Is 4 Times In 3 Months I've Caught People From Here And Other Cue Guys E-mailing My Bidders With There Stuff For Sale. It's Nobody's Business Who Is Bidding. That's Between Me And The Buyer. Eightbaldy Is One Of Them That Would Personally Rather Remain Private So Not Every Tom Dick And Harry Knows What He Is Buying. It Is Certainly Not To Shill Bid As So Many Think. E-bay Will Catch That If That's Going On. Thanx :d
 
Shill Bid

Everybody That Logs In To Ebay. The Minute They Do E-bay Can Almost Tell You What Type Of Computer You Have And They Have Your Ip Address. They Also Put A Cookie In Your Computer. So If Your Bidding With A Friends Account Or Using False Accounts From The Same Computer Your Busted. They Also Will Catch You If Your Having Friends Bid For You. A Ring Out Of New York Got Busted And Went To Prison For Shill Bidding On There Stuff. But We Were Talking About Millions Of Dollars In Bidding. But Still, They Have The Most Powerful Equipment In The World And They Have Ex Fbi Agents Tracking Fraud And Shill Bidding. Thats The Most I Know. Thanx :d

ebay doesn't care as long as no one complains AND if you can't see the other bidders, how are you going to know if there are a bunch of obvious "low number" bidders or even the same bidders on all his auctions?
 
ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! THEY CARE!!!

I can 100% Guarantee you they watch it like a Hawk! I have a friend at e-bay that has told me a little bit about there system. It is definetly monitered every minute. They really have retired FbI profilers watching that have been in the business of computer fraud. The only way you can shill bid is a once an while hit from a friend from another city and even that is detectable if tey run a scan on you. The have systems he told me that will profile bidding paterns and cross check wit other items in the past with the same bidder and make a conclusion with 90% accuracy if your playing games. Thanx
 
Total BS. I've known several cues advertised ON HERE that were won by shill bids and later relisted. It was incredibly obvious yet nothing happened.

Like Jeff stated, if nobody complains nothing happens.
 
It has always been my opinion that Private Auctions should not be allowed. But if they are they should be charged an extra fee and be required to register. This way they could all be subject to extra scrutiny. This might help to curtail some of the shill bidding that is definately going on. I have complained a few times, only once did they do anything. The guy got I think 7 to 10. No not years!! Days suspension, BIG DEAL!!

ebay only knows about shill bidders when they are reported.. then they will check into it.. but if nobody ever reports them.. nobody will ever know..

I think shill bidding actually happens alot on ebay....for example. I watch a old 260SX with a motor swap and everything being posted on every forum they could find listing it for 20k. they put it on ebay. and ebay charges that BUY IT NOW price so they listed it without a buy it now or reserve. The guy had his friends bumping the bids so he could get what he wanted for it. The guy listed it 4 times before alot of my friends reported his ass!!!

Truthfully I think Dale Perry's Cue on ebay are getting the same thing. If you watch the ending bids on his cues they are all around the same price. That guy is making a killin off of ebay doing the stuff!!!
 
I have been selling and buying on ebay and other auction sites since 1998. I also go to live auctions. There is shill bidding is in every type of auction, if the seller chooses to use the practice. It happens, but not all auction sellers, in fact I believe only a few use this tactic. The sellers who are afraid to list their item at the price they want, or use a reserve, these are the sellers who may use a shill bidder. "THE RESERVE STOPS SHILL BIDDING, most times! But most sellers do not want to pay the reserve fee (too bad it is a good tool). Private bids are B.S. This seller says that other people are emailing he bidders! On ebay you can no longer have access to bidders email, unless you are the seller of the item. ebay is a good place to buy and sell, and it can be safe. If you watch and learn, the feedback, and amount time the seller has been using ebay, is a key to safe and fun bidding. I have yet to be burned buying a ebay item. (knock on wood). Well thats my 2 cents worth!

Not All True

You Can E-mail The High Bidder At Anytime. I Assume You Meant Years Ago When Anybody Could See All The Bidders. This Is True, However You Can Still E-mail Each Bidder One By One Until You Get A , Ohh , That Sounds Like A Better Deal. I Have Had Az'ers Here Do It To Me And Was Told By The Person Through An E-mail From Here. Not To Many Though And I Will Not Say Names. I Do Agree With You On Reserves. I Sold Cars For Years On E-bay And For A Longtime. At The End Of My Car Career If You Will, I Ran Reserves And Had Plenty Of Success. I THINK I'LL Run Reserves From Now On . You Have Made SOME Very Good Points. Thanx :d
