There once was a man named Wheat,
Who had just one cue to complete.
But he made it too long,
And admitted no wrong,
And shot himself in the feet.

I don't quite understand what all this is exactly about but I'm getting the impression that you think I'm defrauding you ! so I will try this again....
You purchased the exact cue that was in the slideshow pics on myspace... you ARE holding that exact cue ! w/ 2 new shafts....
If I made an error regarding measurement on those 2 shafts then I appoogized and said I would build you an entirely new cue at no charge so you will have 2 cues and 4 shafts with ivory for 700.00
Regardless if I made the mistake of refrring to the wrong cue as far as how many points were on it, is a moot point.. that's not what you were purchasing.. the exact cue in the pics was... end of story !
I already lost money in that deal so what's a few more dollars at this point !
I offered to rectify this at NO CHARGE and that's the best I can and are going to do !
I should have known there were going to be reprocussions no matter how it ended but I will say this : all this hype has only made my phone ring more with customers placing orders !
At least KV is being left alone finally !
Oh, and Mr. Wilson I don't expect you to do anything except what YOU think is right... just as you, I don't have the time to read these posts ! only the ones that actually concern me at this point are the one's from Charlie Edwards !
Sincerely, Eddie Wheat
Darn it eddie...........now you have really upset the cart.Charlie Edwards said:Eddie, I just got an idea. And this is a good idea. I'm dead serious... when I get the cue back from being shortened, I'll give it to you... FREE. That way you won't be out a dime and won't have to take any loss.
Since you were so generous and offered a FREE cue to me, (although it was only after you knew I wouldn't take it) I'll return the favor.
As a matter of fact whether or not you want it, that MF will be on it's way to you as soon as I get my hands on it!
In return all I want is for YOU to be HISTORY to me. No posting my name, and obviously no contact. I will ship the cue within one day of me getting it. Bet on it!

He's at 389 and dropping.
All red-reppers are reloading for round 2.
I truly believe that you will do that. It'll be the first time that cue has been delivered as promised:thumbup:Charlie Edwards said:Eddie, I just got an idea. And this is a good idea.

JimL said:Charlie I know your at wits end with this whole sad story but I sincerly beg you not to send the cue back to EW.
Let's have some kind of positive conclusion we can all feel good about.
Please consider raffling the cue with the proceed going to charity, I'll buy a couple of spots.
Please consider it.
(notice no exclaimation points)

Once again Smorgie you come thru with a very great solution. :thumbup:Smorgass Bored said:I agree 1000%. Let 'something' good come from all this misery. Give it to Mike H. (AZB) to raffle off or give it to an orphanage or Senior citizens home that has a pooltable.
Send it overseas to our troops to put in their barracks in Iraq.....or SUMPIN.

Do like Dave said and take a bandsaw to it. Take a picture and use it for your avatar.

Bill the Cat said:Charlie,
Please don't do this. I can understand your frustration, but I think this is a terrible idea. To do this would allow Eddie to "profit" from this fiasco. You have to know that the symbolizm of this action will be lost on Eddie and he will just resell the cue to someone else.
