I saw that listing and it's rediculous. It pays to be careful when you buy on ebay and there are deals that come up all the time, but unfortunately there are also people like this guy trying to take advantage of buyers who don't know any better.1-pocket-player said:
a very rare southwest prototype...confirmed by southwest cue. Must have talked to a visitor that answered the phone or got a no clue answering service.
It also has a semi warped butt (which every southwest has)
My SW doesn't have one. I guess mine is a fake
it plays, looks and feels like a regular southwest cue. There is nothing about that cue that looks like a SW.
The big clue is "no returns..thank you"
The reserve is not met. Wonder what it is? Think I will keep bidding on it to find out.

You can retract your bid up until there are 12 hours remaining. Less than 12 hours remaining and you're stuck.
Here is more information:
Bid Retractions
Before bidding on an item on eBay, be sure to read the item description and check the seller's feedback. If you have any questions about the listing, contact the seller by going to the View Item page and clicking on either the seller's User ID or on the Ask Seller a Question link.
Please remember that every bid on eBay is binding (unless the item is listed in a category under the Non-Binding Bid Policy or the transaction is prohibited by law or by eBay's User Agreement). Bidding on multiple identical items should be done only if you intend to buy all of the items.
It is ONLY OK to retract a bid if...,
You accidentally enter a wrong bid amount (for example, you bid $99.50 instead of $9.95). If this occurs, re-enter the correct bid amount immediately.
The description of an item you have bid on has changed significantly.
You cannot reach the seller. This means that you have tried calling the seller and the seller's phone number doesn't work, or you have tried emailing the seller and it comes back undeliverable.
Before you retract your bid, please read complete information on bid retractions including the Special Retraction Rules.
When you retract a bid it gives you three options:
1. Entered the wrong amount
2. Seller has changed the description of the item
3. Cannot contact the seller
All you have to do is pick one. It doesn't matter which one. I chose #1.

Darn it. I was going to suggest we have a little fun with it since the reserve was already know we could have gotten into a bidding war at the last minute taking the bid to 775 and then stopping. The reserve would not be met and the seller would think he found some suckers. He would then maybe give all of us a second chance. Then we could tell him no thanks for a POS. It would have also been interesting to see how many other 2nd chance offers we get from the other scammers that lurk on EBay.
That is not a SW pin. SW pins have a cactus and date on them. Also SW pins are brass. Maybe they were SS pins at first but I kinda doubt it.
Dude, that's a cheap knock-off!......... JUST KIDDING.
Nice cue!
