Sw Cue Design

He didn't do anything.

Sure he did. He had the smarts to place his order/put his name on the list in '97. :D

I don't see what the issue is if someone's willing to pay him extra so that they don't have to wait 8 years for a SW cue.
 
I can't stand it ...

usually I just go on, but it was used so much, I just can't ....

Entitled is spelled with an 'e' guys, not with an 'i'.
 
For one thing If Laurie wanted to charge Market price for the cues it wouldn't just be to me. Therefore, the secondary Market price would be even higher, unless people just stopped placing orders. The fact that she doesn't take a deposit 8 years before the cue goes under construction might be that it would get aggrevating keeping track of everyones money. However, I believe I will be paying for %50 of the cue when it goes under construction, and if not oh well, either way she can run the business how she wants and I would have ordered the cue regardless. I don't know if mentioning that this will not be my first SW has any bearing on the discussion, but I've bought 4 on the secondary market and I gaurentee that I didn't pay what the original owner did. But If I do end up selling the cue I promise that If Jimbo gives me a shipping address I'll FED EX the fanciest box of tissues I can find no matter what kind of profit (if any) that I make.

2nd time around!

First off , learn to read. I didn't say *YOU* felt intitled, I said you made me laugh saying that Kid was intitled and that I got from your very own words in your very own post when you said he should make a little money for his patience.
Let's for the sake of arguement use what John said, what if Laurie were charging market price for this cue? Would Kid still want it? We both know the answer right? Maybe you should lose the grudge for a moment and go back and read what I wrote. I'm not really sure why you have a problem with me Marcus but to me you really aren't that important so get over it and grow up. I get bored with the BS from one guy who asked for opinions but then didn't like one he read and another guy who just can't read, but wants to hate.

JIMBO,

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT YOU WROTE. IF YOU GO BACK OVER THE THREAD, YOU MENTIONED ME. I MADE NO MENTION OF YOU IN MY POST, UNTIL YOU TOOK A STAB AT ME. I REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT KID DOES WITH THE CUE, I WAS JUST GIVING HIM IDEAS.

I READ WHAT YOU WROTE, I TOOK IT AS YOU SAYING I FELT INTITLED TO SOMETHING. I TOOK OFFENSE TO IT. SO I POSTED IN RESPONSE TO IT. IF YOU SAY THAT IT'S NOT HOW YOU MEANT IT. I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT, AND DROP IT.

HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD AFTERRNOON JIMBO.
 
Interesting!! I just got here but it seems to me:
1. the Kid is fishing for someone to buy the cue with what the buyer wants before he has it built - so he isn't out any money and gets a nice commission
2. seems the cue maker should be the one making the money since its Laurie's product, sweat and tears (and she has had some huh?) and guts to continue the business

Smarts??? What Smarts, in 97 there was already a list that could choke a cow and they were already selling very well in the secondary market. All it took was a phone call and depending on his local and carrier that could have been as little as $.10.

I don't see what the issue is if someone's willing to pay him extra so that they don't have to wait 8 years for a SW cue.

I don't either, what's your point?

Hey Scott news flash, I ain't a good speller, hell my grammar sucks as well, if you don't believe me I have 1500 posts backing me up. I don't know how to use the AZ spell checker (is there one?) and if I did I prolly wouldn't. When I start to get paid for my posts I’ll make sure to draft them up better. When you read intitled do you have any question in your mind what I meant?? I didn't think so. Now unless you're an english teacher and we were in class why bother bringing it up? All that being said you made me open my dictionary (yeah I own one) and in mine under INTITLED it saz (yeah Says) "same as Entitled" SO not only is your post in bad taste it's just flat out wrong.

You are the cry baby and an idiot, you came here asked for opinions and now that you don't like what I said you can't seem to get over it. My opinion was if you no longer want the cue then don't take it. That was all. I don't know anyone in their right mind who wouldn't take the cue and sell it for a profit, I wouldn't either. But you asked and I gave an apposing opinion, just for the hell of it. It's funny that you somehow took that opinion and got so offended by it. I won't cry when you get your cue and I won't cry no matter how much money you make, I did find your responses a great indication of your character though. Good luck with your sale :-)

Smack me???
Because I said if he doesn't want the cue he shouldn't take it.
OK, But isn't that a bit harsh?

Jim <---Very easy to smack

Give ideas is all I did also, mine didn't go over as well as yours :-)

Sometimes words can be viewed different ways, that's why I explained it, although I felt the text was clear I was talking to Kid.

HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD AFTERRNOON JIMBO.

I always do, even with all your yelling.

I crack me up

No Santorno, Kid is intitled and Entitled to make money on this cue, he has suffered through years of waiting and he was a super genius with insight (God I hope it's not ensight) to place his name on this list. I can't even imagine what he's gone threw (opps shouldn't that be Through?) the sheer guts on the Kid for taking such a risk. I just hope he can make at least $800 on the cue, I mean after all he deserves every penny of it.
I know I'll be praying for him, I can only imagine what he's going through right now, ebony, cocobolo, hell that choice alone could cost him $50, this Kid is a real daredevil, how does he sleep at nite (O Sh*T I meant Night).
Fight the good fight Kid.

Jim <---Wishing him well.
