I'm not sure why the abrasiveness, but take a few breaths and reread my comments. Nowhere did I state or imply that. This type of foolishness and negatively is why this site in particular and pool in general has gone to the dogs.

The first sentence stated the pin was bare. Making a statement like that makes those that do not know sw cues well think that all sw cues have a cactus and that's just not true.

I think some of the guys posting in this thread need to read more closely.
In nick's op he states that a cue arrived with a bare pin *which was not what was pictured in an original ad*
How does that morph into Nick trying to mislead people here?
I've done a lot of biz with Nick and I'm pretty sure he knows all about predate SW's.
Thanks for the headsup, Nick.

Gotcha, ill take back my statement Nick but still think its important to point out that not all sw's have markings. When i first read it, that's what it sounded like so I can see how others might think that as well.
Some are around $500 to $1000 if I'm in not mistaken on profit margin.
How in the world do you see this as Nick scaring off Southwest buyers? He's just informing people to pay attention and use someone with good rep.
I'm sure you will sell your SW when the time is right. No one will be deterred by this post and your pockets will be lined for more cue purchases.
His story about how he knows a guy who knows a guy who may have only been able tell the difference between the cue he saw pictures of maybe on facebook and the cue he actually received in the mail by the pin number is completely absurd. The shilling speaks for itself.
I don't know how anyone can read that post without their head almost exploding.
Here is what Nick said...
"When the Cue arrived the pin was bare. It was not the pin pictured of the Cue for sale."
He was saying that the cue recieved DID NOT HAVE THE LOGO LIKE THE ONE IN THE PICTURES OF THE CUE THAT WAS FOR SALE... That AND after examining the cue he knew it it as a fake. It was NOT just because the pin was bare...
If you wanted to warn OTHERS that the earlier cues had no pin markings then fine but you were saying Nick was somehow using misinformation, which he WASN'T. He knows that the early cues had no markings...
Mine has no markings(late 80's).
If you take an honest look back, you'll see it's the dealers (which includes guys who, though possibly not fully established as such, are always buying and selling multiple cues for profit) who cannibalized and finally killed Wanted/For Sale. From hyping flash in the pan builders, to buddy/buddy commenting, to filling the entire first page with a wall of individual postings, to constant bumping, to selling new products below manufacturer agreed pricing, to huge unpaid advertisements in signature lines, these are the guys responsible for bump limits, club memberships, posting restrictions, Panjo, and the eventual frustration and exodus of small buyers and sellers... The list goes on and on.
NIck ,,,i have two tell him to contact me on facebook,,,thanks
I've taken a very honest amd thoughtful lookback for several years now, and I think your assessment is pretty simplistic and short-sighted. There are a multitude of reasons why things have ended up where they have. And using the term "dealer" as an easy out here, trying to place blame, shows me your understanding is amateurish at best regarding these things.

Enlighten me, please.
