Opinions wanted

I am confused

If you don't like the cue Pathman wants it. Greg wants it. You are not stuck but I have a feeling you like it and want to keep it. The builder gave a price for the cue to be reproduced but add $350 for the davis blank and you have the cue at practically half price,something that will not happen again. Why do you think Pathman will take it? He is very experienced at this stuff.

Snowman good luck with your decision.
It is a hard one. Keep a steal of a deal or let it go with nothng lost but a little time. Greg is a no worries seller. He was suprised as you by all this. But He has stood behind his part of the bargain.
Is the cue still unplayed? You bought it unplayed.

"I bet you could play in 1000 pool halls and everyone would say wow what a great looking cue."

NO EVERYONE WOULD SAY THATS THE CUE THAT HAS THAT ONE INLAY THATS HIGH, seamed like everyone knows of this cue and it's flaw in it, where was this cue seen at that everyone knows about it, maybe the expo! :rolleyes:


"In order for him to show us the mis match in the inlays he had to put a piece of paper by it for the eye to see it."

I BELIEVE HE HID THE BUTT IN ORDER NOT TO REVEIL THE CUES MAKER AND NOT WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE MIS MATCH BECAUSE I SURELY COULD SEE IT WITHOUT A LEVEL OF PAPER :rolleyes:

I'd agree it's a nice looking cue and a lot of ppl might not notice the flaw but the buyer knows it's there and it eats away at you ;) It would drive me crazy!!!
 
Please PM

I would not own a cue with that flaw for any amount of discount.

I am happy and you are lucky that seller will completely give you a full refund. It could be a lot worse.

If you get the chance please PM me the name of the cuemaker who will not stand behind his work. I keep a list.

Thanks

rayjay.....are you kidding??? everybody is trying to work with me? Come on its very simple I bought a brand new cue.....The cue maker does not want to stand behind his work...he will repair his mistake at my expense....explain to me where you see all parties are trying to work with me?:rolleyes:

1. Seller will give you a full refund plus shipping.
2. Others on this forum are willing to take the cue at your cost.
3. Cuemaker/seller sold at a major discount, but will repair, refinish, rewrap for $250 (sounds like a discounted cost).
4. This gives you a "perfect" cue and you're still $400 ahead of ordering a new cue from him, you still get a good deal.
5. You can get a refund, order a new cue from the same cuemaker for $650 more than you paid for this one, or find another cuemaker to build what you want without going through a middleman.

I agree that the cue should have been identified as a "second" and don't blame you for being upset for not being told this. I find it amazing that neither the cuemaker or seller pointed this out, but it looks like these are your options. Again, I would take option #1. Good luck!
 
You Basicly Stole This Cue.... Either Keep It, Or Send It Back. The Maker Did A Favor For A Friend On Pricing, The Friend Passed It On To You. If You Don't Like The Cue Than Just Send It Back. Why Bring This Here.

I Understand That You Aren't Satisfied Because The Cue Isn't "perfect", But You Also Need To Remember That It Was Made By Hand, And That Many Things Made By Hand Aren't Perfect.

I'm Sure The Cuemaker Isn't Happy That The Cue Was Sold As Cheap As It Was To Begin With, So To Be Asked To "fix" It For Free Had To Be Irritating To Him.

If I Was In Your Shoes, And If The Imperfection Bothered Me, I Would Just Send It Back. Don't Drag This Out. Either Keep It And Enjoy It, Or Send It Back, And Forget About It.
 
Yes, I agree. In following your comments, I sense that this inlay issue is obviously is eating at you. So, the best option is probably for you to send it back fro the refund. There are really so much options with this deal....except the CM will not fix this for free (there's no need for any of us to comment further on that, as it's obviously not a variable here). But that said, think even spending the $250, you are still into the cue very right for what it is and considering all the options & blank (I base this revised observation on now knowing what the cue is and seller).

IMO you should let somebody else enjoy it (as-is) without dragging this very minor issue out any further. Also, very few cues that anyone will ever encounter are truly "PERFECT"....even the computer made ones. If it is PERFECT that you would like to acquire, I might suggest getting a higher end Ginacue, Manzino, or Black Boar. They are closest to this term that I have encountered.

personally if it were the right maker i'd send the cue back to him and pay the $250 to get it fixed and maybe even have him add some more work.

skins.....likes his cue fancy.
 
Did You Make Your Decision Yet? The Seller Has The Right To Know What's Going On. Basicly He's Stuck With Your Money In Limbo. He Can't Spend The Cash, Because He Doesn't Know What Your Gonna Do.

To Be Honest I Don't Care Wether You Keep It Or Not, But Do The Right Thing And Make Your Choice So The Seller And The Cm Know What's Going On.

P.s. Was The Cue New When You Got It? Have You Chalked The Cue Since You Got It?
 
To end speculation:

The MAKER was not aware of the inlay registration issue and this cue was NOT delvd as a "SECOND". The BUYER informed me that the inlay is "off" by apprx an 1/8th of an inch.

The MAKERS only DEALER/REP/PIMP (me) didn't catch the (your word)

I passed my pricing on to the SELLER because I like him and we throw each other bones from time to time

The SELLER didn't catch the ?????? prior to shipping

The person responsible for satisfying the BUYER is the SELLER, which he attempted to do by offering $ BACK to include SHIPPING.

I appreciate the BUYER bringing the issue to our attention

If the BUYER would have bought the cue from the DEALER (me) or the MAKER we would satisfy the BUYER.The buyer would recieve the same return option as the SELLER offered or the BUYER could have the cue repaired at NO cost.

I'm sorry to inform the drama queens, speculaters and conspiracy theorists that although it's not my responsibility I offered the BUYER the option of returning the cue to the MAKER and he would correct the inlay registration issue and refinish the forearm for $75. In order to fit the work into his schedule it would take 6 to 8 weeks (real and NOT cuemakers time) to finish.There is a chance (slim) that the wrap can be saved and the maker will take every precaution to facilitate this. The $75 price does not include a new wrap.

I think most of us can agree that $75 is not a lot of $ but this is a matter of principle.

Thanks, adam

Is your name Dick? Do you have first hand knowledge of the cue and the transaction?

There is only one person who should be disclosing the maker .. that is the person who started the thread (guy who bought the cue). His wish to keep cue maker and the seller anonymous should be respected.

Maybe you haven't read the whole thread, but the "maker" has been mentioned already pages ago. And also I conversed with Snowmon too, so the answer to your other question is YES! Any other questions....lol:)

So did you get Snowman's permission to disclose the maker? There hasn't been confirmed answer anywhere in the thread.

Must be nice to be in the "in circle" .. yup, that's been my dream ever since I was a kid.
