JimBo said:If you paid FULL RETAIL & WAITED THE FULL TIME then there can be no restrictions. But if the cuemaker moved you up on a list or gave you a discount for whatever reason selling the cue is in bad taste. Cuemakers can do you a favor at times for whatever reason, but they don't do it so you can turn a profit....

Ahh, but what of the flip-side? What if you are the customer who's order is continually being bumped to the back of the queue because the cue-maker keeps doing "favors" for their other customers? Everytime a cuemaker does such a favor do they contact all their other customers to inform them their orders will be delivered later, and if so why?
Every cue maker is different of course, but for *some* it seems it is the squeakiest wheel that gets the cue fastest and the quiet, patient customers who's orders fall into the yawning abyss of "cuemaker time".
For the "squeaky" customers who push to get their cue and then do a fast Ebay turn-around it is the cuemaker who has embaressed themselves, both by mis-judging the motives of the customer and by giving that customer preferential treatment over their other customers. In these days when so much of the cue trade is now on the Internet and accessable to all the other customers may well notice these new cues appearing on Ebay etc. when their orders are late.
