Tad Cue on eBay

Couple Of Reasons

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7170660801&category=21212&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1

DO YOU MEAN THAT CUE? IF SO THERE ARE A FEW REASONS.

1) THERE IS ONLY 1 SHAFT
2) THERE ARE NO SPECS LISTED FOR THE CUE.
3) RESERVE AUCTIONS DON'T DO WELL WITH THE MARKET THIS WEAK
4) THE SELLER HAS NO FEEDBACK RELATING TO CUSTOM CUES.
5) THERE IS NO PICTURE OR MENTION OF A TAD LOGO, THAT MAKES AUTHENTICITY QUESTIONABLE.

I DON'T KNOW THE SELLER NOR AM I DOUBTING HIM/HER BUT THOSE THINGS WOULD KEEP MY BID LOWER THAN NORMAL, AND EVEN AUTHENTIC WITH 2 SHAFTS IT'S NOT GOING TO DO WELL WITH THE CUE MARKET THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW.
 
My thoughts after looking at the auction is the poor quality of pics. The seller does have a decent feedback rating, but seems kind of ho-hum about the listing. I mean, there's a pic of bike among his auction pictures for a pool cue, careless.

From the pics, it looks to be a Tad. One shaft, no specs on weight or shaft diameter. I personally prefer the fancier Tads with the crazy inlaid butts.
 
He's posted a reply to an enquiry that he is trying to get more details, confirm it has a Tad logo etc. The auction text states he is selling it for a friend, so presumably knows little or nothing about cues.

I've seen a few plain Tad players cues like that here in So. Cal, and shot with one for a few minutes that just felt incredibly good to me. I have no interest in his fancy work myself to play with.
 
I also agree that the market is weak. The Buyer's Market (few or limited buyers) situation is normally a seasonal occurence. Another theory also is that the buyers/collectors are really thinning out. People are waiting for the last minute to bid or not bid at all unless they feel that the price they get is a good one... cues are not really an essential and people's thinning pockets are feeling this already. It may not be a "falling" market but is has definitely leveled off for many and fallen for some. Scams have not helped also so I think many prospects may have put off cue hunting for a while. ;)
 
He's also not that cheap. I talked to him about a "Buy it Now" price. He is asking $1,800. I recently sold a two shafter for less. There is also the verification problem. Mine was also unmarked. Good luck with that!!!

I was going to look into it further. But, if he's looking at that kind of money for one shaft and fairly simple butt, I'll pass.

Thanks, guys!

Photos are CRAP, and show the Cue poorly....Also any Distinguishing Marks, logo, Etc should have been Photographed ALSO.

Bicycle is a Bonus to get you Back and Forth to and from the poor Room CHEAP :D
