The cost of a Custom Cue

Arnot Wadsworth said:
I take it back - you are not dumb. If you agree with me you gotta be smart :).

I just got a little angry with Wheat hi-jacking my thread for another plug at his cheap cues.

Good Cuemaking,


HOLD ON A SECOND ARNOT !!!

I did NOT hijack your thread in anyway !!!

Please re-read the post and explain where my dissagreement with your post is hijacking ????

I did NOT plug or mention my cuemaking skills at all !

I have never had any beef with you and I think you owe me an appology for misinterpreting my post and responding with an incorrect statement !

I'll leave that choice up to you....

Have a great day and happy cuemaking !

Don't give me that innocent crapola. I have been reading your posts for the past month and everything you say is calculated and self serving.


I will apologize to you when hell freezes over.


Yes, alot of my posts are, however the majority of those self-promoting entries were responses to taunts by the "peanut gallery"...

I was trying to be sincerere here, but if you choose to perceive me as heartless and self-absorbed than that is your prerogative !

I only act as I am treated and you have NEVER given me a reason to be condescending or hostile toward you, and especially after our brief phone conversation, I felt you were a very nice guy...

I am sorry you feel that my every post has underlined self motivated logic behind it and that I am incapable of being rational and objective without perpetuating "WheatCues" in every post....

I will cease and desist form interacting with you on AZ if you feel that is warranted and/or preferred !

I don't expect any fellow cuemaker or his buddies to agree with me !!!

Afterall, I'M TRYING TO DRIVE THE PRICES DOWN !!!!!!!!!

So since you can't hurt my feelings "obviously" and my intent is hell-bent on succeeding then I guess we will NEVER see eye to eye on an obvious comparison evaluation in my previous post regarding Arnot's intital thread.....

See the main difference between me and some others is this: I do NOT stick up for ANYONE including family, friends or girlfriends when they are WRONG, if you do choose to support one's errors than you are not "true" to them... and that just makes you an "ass-kisser" !!! Of course this is just my opinion and I could be wrong ;)

I thought your prices were already down. Nobody knows better than the cue's cuemaker the value of his cue. You value your cues cheap so that must be the value of your cues. No argument here. Keep on making your cheap cues or better yet move to China then you can make them really cheap. All you would need is some prison or child labor and greener wood for the butts to match your shaftwood.


Gee Arnot !!!

That's really nice of you to insult the quality of my work... considering I have NEVER given you a personal reason to act this way towards me....or do you just have a problem with someone disagreeing with you in general ?

I'm sorry I do not have the deep pocket's that you do generated from cuemaking revenue and can afford to have a ton of shaftwood hanging in my shop so that I have to charge alot of $$$ for a conical piece of exotic hardwood with a leather tip....

I'm Soooo sorry I'm not as COOL as you and charge your high prices out of neccessity due to direct inventory justification...

You are clearly the best, and I am a vile disgusting worm.... but hey atleast I don't have the stress of worring about making quota to generate enough money to pay the bills with my cuemaking venture and I CAN enjoy what I do and charge realistic prices for what the instrument's original intended purpose is desinged for instead of my cues being flipped and focused soley for it's monetary value !!!

I think the public deserves more quality than they pay for and fortunately I AM in the position to do it, so does that make my the quality of my work less reputable ?????

So don't hate me because I love this game and CAN afford to do it !!!!

The sad mentality is that just becasue you make a quality product doesn't mean you charge high prices... I want VOLUME sales not just a select few who can afford it and look to make my mortgage payment off of one customer !

I look at the big picture and are in it for the long haul and there are alot of players who can appreciate my logical approach and know from experience that the quality of my work is exceptional and without compromise ! and above all... I want EVERYONE to be able to afford a custom fitted cue without having to consider the assistance of a finance company just to be able to own one !!!




Love ya, Eddie Wheat

Eddie.....at last we agree - you are as you stated.

For the price you advertise ($350) - MasonH is the guy.

ABSOLUTELY !!!!

I support Mason 100% as well as others who support me !!!!

It's nice to see other's charging realistic prices too... becasue VOLUME sales is far better than quick $$$ and will generate a truckload of interest and orders.... and there is obviously far more potential customers available on a more economic level than the "high end, elite status, bragging rights" end of it !!

The last thing I want to do is corner the market, becasue then this wouldn't be fun anymore... it would be too much like a real job instead of a professional hobby... and at these realistic prices there is more than enough market to keep quite a few of us very busy !!!

Hey Mason I think Arnot deserves that!!!

His unwarranted retort needed a "reality check"

All I did was disagree with him and he insulted me and to my knowlege we NEVER had any discrepancies that I am aware of....

Karma can be brutal !!!!!

Besides "SirMissALOT" and "I "are trying to advertise for you !!!! ;)

i can't say that he deserves it,but i will say that it is important to try and treat people with respect instead of trying to tear them down.i see lots of guys here that 75% of their comments are negative or argumentative and there is no need for that.

if you are constantly arguing with people,picking on them and trying to make them look bad,i think it eventually will make yourself look bad too in one way or another.i know everyone is guilty of it at one point or another,but i think it needs to be kept at a minimum.
