short time(dream cue) financing!!

[8-ball Rat]

your cue is on the way!

SWEET!!!!

FWIW, ya'll - I got off the phone with Bill earlier today, and we managed to square away a deal in 5 minutes.

I knew the cue I wanted....he still HAD the cue I wanted (BONUS!! )....we came to terms that worked out great for us both....and I've got a gorgeous Art Cantando cue coming to me VERY soon.

Regardless of people's personal opinions or differences (none of which really matter to me)....Bill was EXCEPTIONALLY easy to deal with in making my cue a reality. If you see something on his site that you like, drop him a line. He's motivated to work with his customers....and will treat them right.

Hey-Bill, do you think any of the other cue dealers will jump in on this financing thru the banks and make it all work for everyone that wants a highend cue right away , I think you hit on something that others will envy you for and would have too,and if they don't all I see is your business booming, and the others will only be disappointed if they just sit idle, IMO

Good Luck, I hope it takes off so maybe I could get one soon myself, I picked one out already but not ready to make a commitmeant yet.

dealers like

billiardcue
cueaddicts
indyQshop
chalkers, ETC.

Hey Mark,
I am happy for both you and Mr. Grassley. Nice transaction!!

Personally I would jump on this setup myself, but I have four cues in the process of being finished up. I need to direct my $$$$ in that direction.

Talked to Bill today and he said the response has been amazing.

Both of you guys take care,
Jimmy

Nice apology

Bill,

I am truly sorry for my previuos post.I presented your information to my friend who told me the story originally,and he pretty much changed his story completely.He had told me $1000+ in services for a cheap $100 Chinese cue and he recanted saying he didn't know what kind of cue it was nor did he know the actual amount of time.Anyway I was completely misinformed and lied or extremely exaggerrated to and i realayed bad information here.I hope my apology helps and I feel totally embarrassed for my statements here earlier.I had no idea that I was being lied to.

I am glad for everybody you came back with this apology post.

Even though I wanted to, I didn't reply to your initial post. I wanted to wait awhile and not make an emotional reply. I was there with Bill during the whole scenario in Louisville and your original post was far from accurate. I know that Bill appreciates your apology and I am truly glad I didn't make a knee-jerk reaction right away. I would have said things I would have regretted later.

Take care.............

Hiya Jimmy,

Thanks, sir! I've been looking at that Cantando for quite awhile...so I'm thrilled that I was finally able to square something away on it.

When I spoke to Bill today, he mentioned that business was booming....and I know there are at least half a dozen guys (myself being one of 'em) that are VERY happy campers right now.

Just a solid deal, all the way around.

I'll call ya soon, boss.....just as soon as I can figure out what day of the week it is right now!!!!

forget leasing, how about fractional ownership like they do on private jets,

 

[smokeandapancak]

forget leasing, how about fractional ownership like they do on private jets,

or........
How about something like a monthly fee of X amount that gets you into a group that swaps out high dollar cues on a 1-2 month basis..... kinda like a flat rate rental fee at a movie joint....

Cue dealer puts a few cues out there, guys swap 'em back and forth.. untill the right cue lands with the right guy and he decides to purchase it out of the "rental pool"..at a decent discount of course (taking the membership fee into account)... there are similar programs for things like raquet ball and other sports equipment...(golf clubs also, I think)

... of course there would have to be a "screening process" for members and a contract that makes them liable for damage and what not while the cue is in their possesion....


Just an Idea

That is funny!

But that might be how some Szams are sold in the future!

youll have to fill me in on how that works,everything is possible

 

[Panhdlce]

I would think that any finance company is not interested in the product they finance, only the cash amount of the transaction, if you don't pay upfront, you pay in court, plus legal costs, yadda yadda yadda fine print stuff, plus your credit is ruined, and what ever else happens when your taken to court on a dead beat debt repayment

 

[Dawgie]

I have been reading this thread and FINALLY someone GETS IT. That someone is panhdlce. When financing through a bank or finance co. there is no risk to the seller. The risk lies with the financing institution.

If you have decent credit I am sure you get CC's through the mail that bear no interest for one year or sometimes longer when you transfer an existing balance to that CC.

Here is an idea - finance your new cue through cornerstone and then transfer the balance of that financing to the zero interest CC. Over the one year period you can make the necessary payments for pay off your new cue. At the end of the year if you haven't paid off the cue you can then transfer that remaining balance to a new zero interest CC. This equals a new cue and NO INTEREST.

After reading all the replies on this I guess I'm the only one who thinks it's not a good idea....at least for the buyer. Just another way the banks can take advantage of people by jacking up the interest rate if you're one second late on a payment. Maybe they can offer and A.R.M. on pool cues like they've done on houses to get good people into mortgages they really can't afford? At least this will keep the collection agencies in business. Cash is KING. www.daveramsey.com

So you've never had a credit card or financed a vehicle or had a fluctuating rate on a mortgage? Cash is not always King, leveraging your assests and stretching your dollar isn't all that stupid, the richest people in the world don't pay cash for everything. Please keep talking out you a$$ for our entertainment though.

Yes, I've done stupid with zeros and still have credit card accounts (cards are cut up) and a vehicle that will be paid off early. Have a fixed mortgage that will never fluctuate. We're leveraging that financed vehicle by using it to carry the 7,000+ newspapers we throw a month to pay off ALL our debt in addition to our full time jobs.
Check your facts on the richest people in the world and not paying cash. The average millionaire drives a 5 year old PAID for vehicle. Where do you see the cash advance stores? In the richest neighborhoods? Nope. But you sure see them in the lower income neighborhoods, and right outside the gates of our military bases. Pawn shops? Same places.

Cash advance doesn't have anything to do with general financing, I can't believe you used that as an arguement...and pawn shops, how freaking hilarious. Yeah guy cash advances at 110% interest is the same thing as a millionaire financing a Lamborghini....yep same thing everyone gets screwed. The majority of people with money finance, you're ignorant to think differently. Hell Sprewell just had a multi-million dollar yacht repo'd. Just because the general public is incapable of managing their money properly doesn't equate to financers attempting to screw you.

No one is trying to take advantage of you. If you don't want the deal then don't do it, if you can't afford it don't buy. No one is making you pay. Its absurd to say this guy is offering cue financing as a means to screw you over in interest. Hey average Joe, I'm sorry you didn't feel like paying for your vehicle anymore and had it repo'd, you don't like high interest cash advances you shouldn't have defaulted on your previous loans making you high risk. You don't give someone money without a means to protect it. Financing and bill collectors aren't here to screw you there here to protect the interest of the person you screwed by not paying for what you agreed to. Your fault not theirs, how hard is that to understand?

If anything he is offering the average joe with ok to not so good credit an opportunity to finance high end cues that you wouldn't normally have the cash to pay for....just like a effing car you can't pay cash for. Get a clue.

I was in no way saying the maker was trying to screw anyone, and you don't see that in my first post, but what I did say was that the banks are waiting to take advantage of the average American.
Thanks for your assumptions but I never defaulted on ANY loan and I'm NOT high risk or had a vehicle repo'd but I do have 2 other PAID for collectible Mustangs
I see you're in Corpus so you're not one of the 60 houses less than 5 years old I pass every morning that are for sale. Why? Because most of them got in a house THEY couldn't afford from one of those "helpful financeers". Are they helping now? Helping them put food on the table or keep the lights on? Not a chance. And I don't want MY hard earned money bailing them out when THEY file bankruptcy!
