poolhustler said:Hi Kam,
I don't think that you were wrong in posting your question the way you did.
You did not mention names, some one else did, you were just looking for advice.
I would also recomend hanging the shafts for a bit and see if they straighten out. Not likely, but worth a try.
I had a BCM cue that was very slightly warped and it was absolutely straight after a month or so.
Good seller and good buyer = NO WORRIES!! :thumbup:
Take care,
Russ......
HighEndCues said:Russ,
Mentioning names was a formality.. I heard from MANY people what the story was about Ken Carfago's deal.. Small community.. One person knows, everyone knows... The witch hunt for a name on AZ already started..
I didn't have any involvement with this deal, but wanted to see a happy ending between 2 people I know.. Ken Carfagno does his own cue business and has a good name..
As Kam stated, He and I have done many High End deals with the greatest of ease, and I have great respect for those transactions.
If there is anyway I can help either side don't hesitate to call..
Best,
Ken Kerner

kamdaswani said:i just bought a high end cue from a dealer ... just under 4k
it came with 2 warped shafts ( i was not told they were warped )
now the question is, if the cue still plays ok, would i ever be able to sell it ?
or would every one shun it due to the shafts being warped ?
the cue does not roll straight, the shafts wobble .. is there any price at which some one would buy it anyway ? or is this just fire wood now ?
i am trying to asses the risk here .. if it is a dead investment anyway, it would be worth taking the risk to ship it back to the cue maker in hopes of it being made more play worthy but of course that entails more expense ... 600 for new shafts and x amount for a refinish etc...
any thoughts ?
i would rather not undo the deal with the guy i got it from as it involved trades as well as cash and it all just gets too complicated ...
cornerstone said:maybe you can talk to the dealer and ask him if he would have the shafts replaced. you can mic ths joint and call the cue maker and see if he needs the butt?and the pavlos is right wood moves. i seen some cues that were laying on a table when a hurricane came in and it wobbled like a drunk sailor. and 3 days later it was straight as a arrow!!. also if the cue has ivory, sending it back to the states could cause a problem!(customs) talk with the dealer most will stand behind what they sell. and some wont! that is why i started my buisness! good luck kam!!! your to good of a guy to be dissatisfied! but at least give the dealer a chance to make good and when he does give him praise, and if he dosent let people know!

poolpro said:Whoa, calm down on the caps, a bit. I think I am going deaf.
You are not providing a service here to anyone. I think everyone knowa that this is getting worked out, and nobody is placing blame on either party. Things happen. It is not a perfect world. Nothing underhanded is going on here.
Both parties are reasonable, upstanding people. Good options have already been given without the interference of anyone else. This is getting worked out.
The purpose of this thread as I see it, was just to get some feedback on how a bit of a wobble can affect the potential value of a great cue. The OP was just trying to get some feedback while mulling over his options.
Everything has been cival, and should stay that way.
