I'm the other member he is referring to. Word of caution, "DON"T DEAL WITH" doubleteersc". He ripped me off too. Sold me a warped Chad Carter cue.. .. told me that it was fine when he shipped it....we went back and forth....I volunteered to have a cue maker look at it . Chad Carter offered to look at it but I was going to the SBE that week so I took it there. 2 diff. cuemakers told me the butt is warped. Jimmy Reeves worked on it and did a nice job. Made it slightly better by re-facing it. The ferule and tip needed to be replaced, ferule was separated from the shaft. I found this out after I hit a ball and heard a very loud "tic". Anyway, doubleteersc agreed at first, to stand by the cue and pay for the repairs that if done, I'll agree to keep the cue. I tell him the cost of the repairs, have the receipts, and I haven't heard from him since. (March 23rd). Now I hear what he did to Mdavis228. Bad business! All my other deals here have been great (4 cues and numerous pool related equipment). Just some advice, get a cue thru escrow. doubleteersc's Itrader was fine when I checked it, you just never know.........
