The Gus that won't go away

Why don't the interested parties just ask the guy through ebay if it is cracked, based on other's knowledge of the cue. If he says yes, you know what you are getting. If it comes not as described, and he says it's fine, your funds will be returned at some point. They freeze that amount of his Paypal, you provide proof of return shipping, and you are done. Also, in this ad, he states it will sell this time. We shall see. Well, I went ahead and posed the concerns to him in the form of a question, and requested he post my question along with his answer as to whether or not the cue is damaged. Perhaps someone should have asked sooner. The answer may help protect a buyer in case it is in a different condition than described.

Well, Ken, 24 hours, and no reponse to the questions concerning the cue's integrity. What that tells me is that he has something to hide. If it were me, and I were selling something, and someone asks me to tell them whether or not is is damaged, and it was not, I would immediately set them straight, and respond that it is as described, to not only help the success of the sale for the desired price, But to make sure everyone interested has all the facts. The fact the question has not been answered tells the story, because if I am looking to gain that much $, I would be watching it unfold, practically as often as I could. I know he has read my message, and has decided not to respond. What that means to me is that the previous posters are 100% correct in their determination that the cue's structure is compromised. If I am wrong, so be it. But I trust that the other's who seem to know this cue are being honest in that it is not as it should be, or as it is described in the ad. Therefore, I dread the winner's evaluation of the cue once they have it, and have paid what appears is going to be, a large sum of money for an inferior piece.
 
By the way, Ken, I do not have a bid on this cue. Not until the right answers are given. I never bid on anything without the seller answering, if I do have a question.

I asked him the location of the "finish cracks" and he replied this morning, saying they were in the butt and joint area.

Do you believe the other poster's knowledge of the cue, that it is damaged? He has not responded to my questions, which were based on these previous posts. You said you asked about finish cracks. I asked if any of those cracks were actual damage. And, he did not post any questions or answers yet, including yours, at least as of a little while ago. Still seems like something missing. As I said, I would jump all over the chance to set the record straight, if I were on the up and up, wouldn't you? He cannot revise the description of the cue once bids are placed, so his only option would be to answer questions and post the answers, if potential buyers want to know more.

All things considered, I would not but the cue unless I could examine it before the sale.

In this case, for sure, I would agree totally. Considering He/She had been contacted about seeing the cue firsthand, and the potential buyer had the $ to make a deal. From the post, the meeting did not take place. A 10 foot pole is definitely not long enough, here. When it comes to deals like this, I just feel compelled to keep posting, until justice is served. I could be wrong, but based on everything thus far, I don't think so.

A negative, and a neutral, just recently. 1 shipping, 1 description. Wonder what the motivation is?

Here is my last message to him:
When, if, do you intend to reply to the allegations that the cue has an actual crack? I asked you yesterday. If it is good, you would not hesitate to respond, telling me I am wrong. Your recent feedback suggests you are holding back on the whole truth about the cue. Your lack of response only reinforces the suspicions. You won't get away clean.
 
cracked

The person I got the information from stated that the guy is calling the actual crack at the joint, age cracks. He also stated that this is an actural crack and NOT age cracks. You can take this information for what it is, a warning that there is something wrong with the cue. There is a slight chance, like 1/10000, that he could be wrong. Either way, he saw it first hand and examined it. If I felt there was a slight chance of him being wrong, I would not have posted the information and neither would have Ken. Ask yourself one simple question, how would we have known there was an issue with the joint unless we got that information from somebody that has seen the cue. I just hate to see somebody spend that kind of money for a cue that is wrecked. My guess is he pulled the cue the first few times because he got scared about the damage. He knew somebody would call him on that with this kind of money at stake. I guess he has worked up his nerve now and plans to follow through this time.
 
This is the response I got from the seller on Ebay;

Dear kenkathy2,

sorry for the late response but i have been out of town. the cue does have a couple small cracks as i stated im assuming from age. if you think that you are not interested in the cue because of this then feel free to retract any bids. Thanks again

Ebay doesn't give a shat about anything but money. They want this to go as high as possible, collect fees and walk away.

They really couldn't care less if anyone gets hurt as long as it isn't them.
