Nothing wrong with that, imo. If somebody legitimately bought ANY video, and chooses to sell it, that's their privilege and their business. I don't know what was wrong with the eBay listing, but obviously Gene didn't like it.

Hi Scott,
Ebay will not allow this to happen. There is a reason for this. I have to get to a lesson. No time right now. See you later. I don't make the rules.
See Ya Later..... Geno..............
Is this your professional legal opinion---or are you just starting a cat fight among competitors?
There is absolutely nothing illegal or unethical about purchasing a dvd, watching it, and selling it as a used dvd. There is no contract stated or implied otherwise, that the purchases of the dvd can never sell the original copy as a used copy. Period! If you purchase a copy of ocean's 11 and sell the dvd at a garage sale, is that wrong? Of Course not. The price of the original video, the re-sale value, the creator of the video, and buyer and seller of said video in the secondary market are all 100 percent irrelevant. To state anything otherwise is ignorant.
I do not know ebay’s rules, nor do I care. If I bought a video from Accu-Stats and decided to sell it on ebay, and Pat asked that I remove the listing. That would be the last video I buy from Pat. Does anyone know why he doesn’t do that? Because it is silly.
Gene, I suspect that there is something else behind this as you are not saying that you would interject and try and stop people from selling their used dvds of your lesson right?
Tennesseejoe...As prewarhero stated, I don't see anything wrong with selling something something you own. FWIW, Gene and I are not competitors. Gene is a professional player (whom I respect), and I am a professional instructor...two different things altogether. I think Gene's video certainly has merit, and I have stated that in this thread already.

Hi Scott,
Just got back from my lesson. Pretty tired and I got to get up early for another one and then I have 3 more for the day.
The guy that is selling the PERFECT AIM video I'm sure is a real nice guy. And he did purchase the video from the PERFECT AIM web site. I don't think he knew he was doing anything wrong. In fact many people do not know the Ebay rules. In fact it looks really professional. He really did a good job.
Yes you can sell it at a garage sale and yes you can sell it to anybody, but you cannot use our logo which is the DVD and direct people to the PERFECT AIM web site to sell the used video on Ebay. The ad is side by side with our ad on ebay that was set up by my people. Ebay won't allow this. They have rules that have to be followed. If you check into this you will see this is correct.
Sorry if anyone was offended by this but rules are rules and they are there to protect people . That's what they are made for.
Have a great day............ Geno............
Wow, that's strange. Actually, I'm pretty sure if you buy a dvd you can then sell it to whomever you want. You cannot make a copy and sell it, but you can certainly sell the original because you own it. That's the entire business model of half.com, ebay.com, pawn shops, classified ads in the newspaper, etc. If I buy a dvd, and I wish to then sell it, it's certainly mine to sell.
Gene explained it pretty clearly
Although I suspect that it is stretching it a bit to say that a picture of the item can't be used to sell the item regardless of logo's showing, everything else Gene says makes perfect sense and apparently is the E-Bay rule. You can't use his site and his copyrighted text to sell your copy of his video.
I do have to point out that there are thousands of pictures on E-Bay at any given time showing product logo's. This is commonly used to illustrate that you are selling what you claim to be selling and not a copy or knockoff. I don't think Gene will get far saying that you can't post a picture of what you are selling because it includes his logo.

Gene...That makes perfect sense. Thanks for clearing that up! Good luck with your lessons and dvd sales.

Hi Scott, I just want to say thanks for understanding. Someday when we meet one on one I will show you my Perfect Aim first hand. It might be sooner than you think. Like I said I've heard good things about you from players that you have taught. This is a promise from me I will keep.
Thanks again. ... Geno. I'm off to another lesson..........
Hi Gene,
I sent you a pm about the disk I recieved in the mail today. Thanks, Mark
I sent you a pm about the disk I recieved in the mail today. Thanks, Mark
Hi Mark, Thanks for letting us know, Sorry that happened. We have started as of today to test every Perfect Aim video to make sure it isn't defective. It sounds like yours there was a flaw in the disc that was visable. We have shipped one out immediately after receiving your message. Have a great day. Please call me when you get the new disc and I will give you some personal coaching on the PERFECT AIM. Make sure your by a pool table with a speaker phone. Thanks again and have a great pool day Geno.......................
Hi Hu,
Just wanted to comment about the ebay thing. When my people contact the person that put the ad on ebay he acknowledge that he knew it wasn't right. He said he knew the rules and shouldn't have done it. He said he was surprised ebay let him do it. Ebay doesn't screen any ads. He agreed to take it off but didn't know how to do it so my people sent him instructions on how to do it.
Right now we're in the middle of a contract with a big company to market PERFECT AIM world wide. This all started out with myself not being able to play pool or hardly walk for about 10 years. I know you can relate to that. Jan 2009 found out it was diabetes.I had been diabetic for a long time. Lost 60 lbs started playing pool again and just wanted to teach everyone I could how to aim so much better. I felt like I had a second chance at life. I made the video originally just so the people that I gave lessons to would never forget what they learned. I never dreamed that this would take off like it did. But Perfect Aim really works and the people that have seen it are the ones that have made everything what it is. I have so much fun teaching it in person I will do this until my health stops me. Hopefully this will be a long ways out.
If there is a chance to market this world wide the Perfect Aim message can reach everyone. For the price and what it can do for someones pool game it's a steal. The bang for the buck is huge.
This thing with ebay was just a small rediculous thing but it needed to be stopped. I don't know the rules and laws just like most normal people because we don't have any need to know them. Once you have somthing to protect you start learning them real fast.
If and when we get hooked up with the bigger marketing company then Perfect Aim can reach everyone and give them all a chance to be able to improve the game we all love a whole lot in a short period of time.
And Hu thanks for your understanding. Just wanted to explain a little. I'll be down your way soon. Is Texas close? Have a Great day Geno.........
Depends on where in TX. El Paso? NOPE...Lubbuck? NOPE...Dallas? Not really...Houston? Getting warmer! 
...Beaumont? That's about as close as you're gonna get, and still be in TX! LOL

Gene,
It was nice meeting you this evening. We spoke at length after your match with Ruben. I look forward to getting your dvd.
For what it's worth, Gene is an excellent player and plays at a pro level. He's not just talk, having been involved in some high $ action here in Colorado Springs. He showed me a little of his perfect aim "system" and it does have merit. He certainly wetted my appetite enough to investigate this further.
Regards
Doug

So where are all the reviews?
There are a lot of good intentions in this thread, like "I've ordered & I'll do a review", but very little information of substance. There has been plenty of time. How about some results?

Hi there 8ball,
It actually will compliment anything that you are using now. Myself personally I use about three different methods when I play. I incorperate all 3 into the PERFECT AIM video without really pointing out each individual method. And I guess I would have a hard time not calling it a system because there are different rules for different shots. All the other systems that are out there try to do the same thing as PERFECT AIM. There is only one correct position to have the eyes for each individual shot. Learning where this is will help you get down to this position quickly so all that is left is the fine tuning.
Just like when you aim a gun there is only one position that is correct. Wouldn't it be foolish to say OH, I have a new way to aim a rifle. You stand on one foot and start on the right and move it over and there you are. Now twist a little and wiggle a little and then you got it. This kind of sounds like some of the aiming systems? On the gun just get the site lined up with the eye.
The only problem with aiming a pool shot is now we have 2 eyes to deal with and they have to work together. Perfect Aim is the only one out there that will work on any shot you are shooting. It will show you how to get to that perfect position and teach you why. Now when the shot doesn't look right you have the ability to correct it. It's easy,simple to understand and it works.
You can call it a method,system or a technique. The bottom line is that it works. I have called it all 3 at some time. When I first started this I wasn't aware that there was any so called system. It wasn't until I got on AZ that I knew anything else existed. I was just trying to keep figuring out how to kick everyones butt. A player can get by on a bar table without PERFECT AIM and still play fairly good. I don't know how anyone can play good on a nine footer without knowing it.
Like I said before I would like to just send everyone a video and they can just send a check if they think it is the most amazing thing that they have ever seen since they have been playing pool. The level of pool would go up everywhere almost overnight.
Thanks for asking Have a great weekend Geno..................
