That is why I am in the Wanted for sale section and not cue gallery.My pictures are to big to fit in the standard envelope that is why I am asking people to e-mail me.I do not mind answering the e-mails because anyone who respects craftmanship and understands pool knows Dennis's cues are the best made and they are the one's interested anyway.Don't get me wrong there are great cuemakers out there,but if I was betting $5,000 a set I would want one of his cues because they play like a dream and I know it so that gives me the edge.TheBook said:

Is anybody taking me seriously? I asked for pics a while ago and didn't get anything. This has happenend with two other members of this forum who are well known dealers with great websites and great stock. I've made offers to people without receiving even the courtesy of a "no thank you, not interested." When I don't even get a negative answer, then we have no grounds to even start wheelin' and dealin' with. I'd still like to see the pics of those Searings, and to the operators of the other cue dealerships that I've contacted with offers in the past....................................you both have some really great cues in your stock that I personally, and two of my Japanese clients find very interesting, which is why it's such a shame to have to look elsewhere when buying cues in the future.
To dak21st: No disrespect intended, and I apoligize for dumping on some other dealers in your thread. Admittedly, your Searings are probably way out of my range, and because they are not known well here in Japan, I do not have clients interested. But I would still like pics if some of the cues are still available.
Thanks,

This is one of my pet peeve as well ... when you PM/email someone and not getting any response back or someone who just stop corresponding in the middle of it. I can deal with "no thanks" or "I sold to someone else" better than no response. No reponse is just bad etiquette, in my opinion.
My other pet peeve is people posting for sale without price

Read the post,the guy is from japan!! Should be easier to deal locally wouldnt u think!iconcue said:what does lucky have to do with anything?
he's in japan and as far as i know he doesn't even carry searings.
dak has had a lot of response and is not a fulltime cue dealer.
and he did ask for emails not pmails
I hope I haven't given the impression that I am unsatisfied with dak. I've never done business with him, however I've noticed that he's done some great deals with other member of this post, so I would assume that he's very professional.Poolhawk said:
dak started this thread offering to send pics to those that were interested. I posted that I was interested, but haven't recieved any pics. Which made me wonder if because of my location, are my offers/interest not being taken seriously? The reason I wonder is because I've located cues on websites of well known dealers (two of them members of this forum) and contacted both of them with offers with partial trades, to recieve nothing in form of a response. A "no thank you" would be a starting point for negotiations, but I haven't even been given the common courtesy of being considered a legitimate customer. Maybe my offers of a partial trade in didn't interest these guys, but that's fine, that's what I need to hear, then we can talk cash. I haven't even been given the opportunity. Which is why I will spend my yearly $15,000 on cues (about how much I bought last year) someplace else that I know will take me seriously.

post without a price?
would you post a balabushka or g. szamboti with a set price?..no! this site sees allot of people. you post to get interest and see what the market will bare. that's why this site has set up the P.M. system, to talk price among other things.

Sure...how hard is it when selling a valuable cue such as that to have a set asking price? There is NOTHING more annoying for me, as a potential buyer of something that's for sale, than to hear...."uh, well, I don't know....make me an offer". [OK, how does ten bucks sound?]
If you want to see what the market will offer, post it on eBay or someother auction venue or maybe even have a broker/dealer help you with the price and consign it. I'm pretty certain that this website and its functionality was not developed as an alternative to eBay.
iconcue said:then why don't you have prices on all the cues on your website?
no harder to list a price than it is to set one
i don't particularly like the "make an offer" sale either but i don't dictate what others do to sell their cues. i would rather see "make an offer" than a broker site listing a cue as "personal collection". and i also see nothing wrong with using "the for sale / wanted forum" as an alternative to ebay to sell a cue. he wasn't asking for posted bids. he was asking for emails so it wouldnt have affected the forum one way or another.
Jeff, I'll try to be very brief and hopefully you'll understand. On some stuff it's as simple as we would rather interested parties call or email us for the price. If someone sees something they like and want it, they'll usually call or email. And like we've said time and time before, on a lot of our stuff, we simply enjoy collecting it. It's not really for sale but if someone wants it or likes it more than us, then that's ok and we'll work something out. You will continue to see 'personal collection' cues listed on our site as our tastes change over time. We don't necessarily always ascribe to the 'everything's for sale' mentality.
Oh....and my reply wasn't referring to anything about Bill's thread offering his cues for sale, just the previous poster's reply and take on things.
Bill, good with your Searings....they are really SUPER cues and worth his asking price. Best of luck to you and yours.

Charlie, I cannot attest to every dealer who might have an 'on request' price, but with us it certainly does not automatically mean that a price is high. And most all of our prices are, in fact, listed and as comparable or better than anything out there on the web. You would certainly think it would, but in our experience always having a listed price does not always mean it time saved when trying to sell the cue. At any rate, we are continually examining and considering how we go about prices, and your input is appreciated.

Jeff, I see your point now. Thanks for the suggestions. We have been thinking about a different way of doing a 'cueaddicts' collection page and maybe that time has come to break them out from the others. Sean
