Wow, thanks Tony. I was seriously considering just taking down this post. As for the escrow, Paypal would be my preferred source of payment. As for MY history, you can review my feedback and Items for Sale (2 cue purchases, 2 cues bought recently), and 150+ other positive feedbacks.
I recently acquired the cue from a trade on another cue. Bottom line is, I need the cash, and the other cue was beautiful with little name recognition of the maker, so I traded for a "name" (scruggs), to get out of it.
There is nothing wrong with the cue. Rolls straight together and apart. Hits solid. I recieved it from a friend of mine, who is reputable but will be kept confidential. This is not their sale, it is mine.
I hope that this information helps.
Thanks again Felt.
