Okay!!
We've heard from other posters, and I will tell you why I stated my comments as such, because when I was trying to sell a Schon SP-35 with 3 certifications of it being such, I was lambasted by 3 or 4 posters calling me a liar, even though I had pictures of it from the 1980's as it being a SP-35. The owner also talked to the cuemaker himslef on more than one occasion. They were claiming it was another model number, which it was not. Both model numbers were in the Blue Book, and the other model was similiar, but did not possess the detail and quality of materials that my friend's cue had. Bob had the Blue Book and I saw both listings myself.
Those 3 or 4 people were not reprimanded or warned in any way, so that is why I have repeatedly asked if it was okay to challenge a price in the for sale/wanted section publicly. It enters into the area that many people are cue experts here, not in the making, but in their value on the market, and do they have an obligation to the populace of the board to say when they think something is out of line in the for sale/wanted section. And also, when you come on here, you are on an international basis, not just a regional basis like you are without the internet.
You mean I don't have the right, on a public international board, to say you are a little too proud of stick, IMO or I don't think any plain jane cue is worth a $1,000 or more. Anybody that makes a product adjusts their pricing by the feedback they get back from the public, or they end up with more inventory than they know what to do with. I have never made an outright negative comment in the for sale/wanted section, I just want it clarified as to whether it is acceptable or not, and if not, then why did I have to suffer the barrage of accusations and comments I did. And I won't even go into the 1st amendment thing.

Bishop???
Bishop????
Where the hell is Bishop when the you need him?!?!?!
I mean, here it is, the one point that completely negates any and all of Bishop's arguments, spelled out by Snapshot in plain, easy-to-read language and yet somehow it seems to have missed him!!!!

As long as a BST forum exists discussion guidlines should remain as they are. This minimizes the creation of phantom/false markets.
If we eliminate the ability to question we should question if we want to maintain the ability to sell.
We might also question if the AZ site should be responsible for playing a significant role in someones livelihood. It seems like this has been a factor in some of the more emotionally charged situations.
Freedom to market/sell without checks/balances can lead to chaos.
The challange is finding a way to question without it leading to confrontation.

I hope whom ever is able to do this will run for president next term also.
It would be an ideal world if it were possible........I just believe human nature won't allow it.
Doesn't negate what was said. Had the forum listed discussion under its heading it might but it doesn't I don't disagree with that line at all. I think if a cue maker enters a thread like this one in this forum you have more of a right to your opinion here but not there. If you have to be a jerk there are appropriate places other than someones bst thread for it.pharaoh68 said:
Although its not their personal website it is their personal sale thread. I understand the parameters of this place have not set clear guidelines as to proper conduct in someones sales thread, because common decency for a mans personal business should be respected and negative free. It should go without saying. Some here just don't have the common decency to understand that.
Do you go into someones small business shop and tell all the customers their not to buy his stuff because you thinks its overpriced. No, you'd get kicked out and in some cases you might get your tail whipped. Just because its a message board and not someones store front you don't have the right to be disrespectful of someone personal business.
Do you understand the difference, well I guess not. There are places here on this board for discussing the values of someones work, clearly the bst is not for that.
Jimbo I know you aren't totally in the dark bro. They PM'd me because they don't want a confrontation with you. Try real hard to put some deeper thought into it next time.

I thought you told it like it is??? I don't need attention if that were the case there are easy ways to do so on this forum. I was just pointing out the truth and as I've stated many times I was proven right in the end.
But I must add I feel you are doing a dis-service to the screen name, if you're going to name yourself that then at least try to be honest and consistant.
That being said was I wrong in anything I posted?? (Please tell it like it is)
