Paul Mottey...Back on Top

[tikkler]

First of all I want to thank all the guys that offered and did help me get through to Paul..............Steve<--------taking hat off

Paul called me and explained the situation. Totally to my satisfaction. As I have said before, He is an incredible cuemaker and nice guy to boot, I am looking forward to getting the cue he is working on for me.

Yeah, like I said, I've dealt with Paul many a time and have never thought for a second that he wasn't a class act. I'm really glad you got that resolved.

can't wait to see what he's making you

So he kept promising you your cue was "almost done" for four years. Then he completely ignored all of your numerous phone and email messages for the last 6 months and refused to speak with you. And now after one conversation he is the greatest thing since sliced bread again?

It sounds more like you either just decided to let some things slide for whatever reasons after talking to him, or you weren't quite accurate with your initial description of the situation. It's hard to imagine, based on the way you had described the situation, that he just "explained" things and it was all just a big misunderstanding of some sort and that everything is fine after a four year run around and 6 months of being avoided and he was really a great guy all along that never dropped the ball anywhere at all. Care to elaborate?

Gotta agree with poolplaya here a bit.

Glad you found satisfaction though.Best of luck going forward.

Absolutely.....Everything I said was true. What I also said was that Paul has never been like this before. After talking to him and having him explain all the things that made it look to me, like it did. I BELIEVED HIM.
Am I happy about all this time that went by...NO....but he had his reasons, and I accepted them.
Hopefully we can all understand that sometimes people go through some tough times and make the best decisions they can. I have known Paul for many years and he has always been a great guy to know and to deal with. I was satisfied with what he told me, plain and simple. If you want to try and build it into more good luck

I have only heard good things about Paul, over the past 20 something years, thats pretty strong. I have one of his cues, its not my bag but thats a side issue-the fact is Paul has a good reputation for good reason. And I dont even know him but i'd vouch for him anytime,

Yeah, I've bought at least 7 cues directly from Paul, all ordered with at least a year waiting time, and he has always been on target, answered all my questions etc... etc... With my past experiences under my belt I would be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if something like this were to happen. To these other guys, please don't try to stir any shit in the air about Paul Mottey's good name. He's a stand up guy through and through. Until Steve told his situation I had never ever heard a bad thing associated with him.

So basically you decided to let things slide as I suspected. Initially it sounded like you were trying to retract your initial complaint as being untrue or a mistake in an effort to sort of help cover up for him since he ended up placating you.

Now that you have elaborated, it appears that you didn't really misunderstand the 4 years of run around and 6 months of being ignored and avoided, you just decided to forgive based on what you decided were good enough excuses for you, coupled with the fact that you don't believe this is typical behavior for him.

I'm glad that you were able to get this resolved to your satisfaction.
