Seaglass505 - Stop The Insanity, Please

poolhustler said:
Guys, here are some common sense rules that are used on other forums I frequent and they work quite well.

1. Threads do not get "bumped". They always stay in the order that they are posted up.

2. No useless chit chat in the threads. Everything except, "I'll take it" needs to be by PM or email only.

3. No shitting on other peoples FS threads. If you don't like it or the price just move on. One warning only, second time gets you a vacation.

4. You are not allowed to have more than ONE thread. All items for sale must be listed in one thread.

5. All threads must have all pertinent info listed or they get closed. ie - Pictures of the actual item for sale, shipping info and payment info.

6. You can not list up the same item again for 2 weeks. The old thread must be closed prior to starting another.

7. You must have a paid membership to participate in the FS/Wanted sections of the Forum.

There are probably others that I am forgetting, but you get the idea.

Have a great day,

Russ...

I agree on all, except I would add a 50-post minimum to sell in the WFS
Legitimate posts that say more than "nice cue"
You already covered the paid membership, which would be my first rule change
It seems like every major forum requires a paid "gold" membership to sell
 
Whoa, watch the name calling.... Jeez, it's like third grade recess in here.

While I have mixed feelings on some of the flippers, I believe two things. Firstly, I recommend calling the seller if you're interested in an item, or if you have an issue with their post. I recently had a misunderstanding over text message conversation with a seller, and if I had just spoken with him over the phone, I'm sure it would have been much more clear. If you do end up calling and still don't like the seller, then don't do business with the guy. Just ignore his posts!

Secondly, If the seller isn't breaking the rules, but they have a sh*t format for their ad, keep it to yourself... or you can send a PM to the seller or the mods.

JMO, I like some of the other suggestions too btw.... Also, this goes in the Main Forum I believe.

I don't have a dog in this fight either, but just wanted to say that I just completed a deal with Erajcustom89 as well. Got a great cue at a great price and had absolutely no issues whatsoever. A stand-up guy as far as I'm concerned.

All of those great deals come from a purchase. Put one up for sale and see if you are offered that same great deal.
 
look who's talking??

Trade?wyg? Aka Daniel McMillan, Cel Sandoval aka ElTejano Outlaw on Facebook is looking for you he made a Post on Open Billboards Market about you and Shane Noel Azb name Xander2882 both. He said you shafted him on a trade you both did for a jump break cue. He sent you his item and got none in return then you told him the package got lost but you never provide any tracking information and all after a sudden you went MIA.
Disappearing here and claim to be under the radar not gonna disguise you. Before you jump into people's fight you need to give the guy what is promised to him or at the least his cue back!!
How you like that now? If you had just kept yourself to yourself I wouldn't have spilled the beans.

You should mention how you tried to low ball me on Facebook. And just because I did not entertained it you got mad.
I have proof if needed..

Good post, however I've done a deal with Seaglass & Prewarhero and they were both stand-up guys as well.
I've also had communications with Eraj and would like to do a cue deal with him, Kickin' Chicken is good to deal with too, so with half of my customer base involved, WTF am I doing posting on this thread

:withstupid:

Whole story. I shipped a case a full week ahead of him. No worries told him to take his time. I work in the oil field and got called back to work. He know this at this time I think. As far as wait until the deal is going the other way that goes for everyone on here lol. Everyone is looking to buy for a penny and sale for dollar. You ever seen an even trade? No before you call me out know I wont be back on for about 6 days so it can wait.
 
cuesblues.....maybe consider running for office?......No one can find fault with what you posted......I'd vote for you.

Can't help replying to your unfair post. Geovani is a standup person, I've dealt with him and met him in person. AND, he's listed clearly on his posts as a certified dealer of 4 different cue makers. He's more
than professional to deal with unlike some "flippers" that Dave_M was referring to.....don't know why you
had to chime in "add his buddy....." to that post, but if you had met him and his wife as I've had the pleasure to, you'd be singing a different tune.

fair enough.
 
You know there are some problems with consolidating for sale threads. One problem being the limit on pictures and the other trying to describe multiple items in a thread title.

I recently tried to list 5 items in one thread and couldn't fit all the pictures so I had to break it up into two different threads.

This day and age people expect to see multiple pictures covering the entire piece for sale. Pictures obviously speak louder than any kind of full disclosure.

Its hard to list 3-4 cues in one thread and fit that under the 7 or 8 pictures limit.

Its also difficult to cover multiple items in a thread title.

It would be nice if there was a separate premium for sale forum where you pay a monthly fee and can bump every 24 hours. Perhaps allowing more pictures or some other premium benefit.

The amount of people who would pay for the ability to sell their items in a less populated forum would be enough to warrant the forum but small enough to make it worth people paying for it.

It would also take a lot of the high volume guys out of the main for sale forum. At least marginally improving things.

It's tough to make an even cue trade, unless you spend a week thinking about it like I do.
For instance I just did an even trade, dead even trade, it wasn't easy though, it's takes planning,
experience, a little luck, and you have to be quick on your feet.

I count 6 cues in your avatar. Do you (still) own all six and if so, who made each one please?

Thanks

PLEASE...LOL
The table was WIDE OPEN. He gets out of line on the 7 ball and proceeds to foul while banking the 7 ball and then he keeps shooting nothing happened.

Was it a foul if the balls were frozen? Maybe he quick determined they were froze before that push. Which is maybe not a push (if they are frozen).

JAY !!!!!

Lets get Jay to watch that clip and make a video ruling.
 
Murphy was right........the way he shoots his stick, he looks like a 7 in our local APA league......One rack & he's supposed to be good.....that's really funny......OMG.
I have videos of myself 15 years ago running racks..........and I'm not that good compared to some sticks in the Fresno area........it's comical to read this shit and then
Murphy chimes in with an insightful observation.....Heck, I'd like to see this fellow try and hang with me & my pals who practice Target Pool on a 9' Table.....it's crazy
when you get to the harder courses......you better have a stroke from hell to even hope to score on some of the locations of the Bulls-eye Target with only 3 attempts.

Thanks Jim for the keen observation......but really, did this guy impress anyone other than his family members? The posts on this have been genuinely funny to read.
