Mezz extension with X bumber
So I get ahold of a Mezz distibuter to get their "best price" on the extension set. They tell me $80 plus shipping is already it, MSRP is $100. Come on man!!
They say Mezz charges dealers more than American cue companies. Come on man!! J+J America Inc. there's no need to blow smoke up my a$$. As a cue dealer I know what things cost.
I told them $70 shipped and they said no thanks. Must be they're doing well in a down economy because they still make at least 30% of that $70 in profit. Must be nice to be one of the big guys... for now.
Everybody realizes what dealer cost is on billiards equipment, right? Offering to pay 70% for anything is enough.
Christ the Cuetec extension which is about the same sells for 25$
Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered!
Anyway still looking, probably in vain for a used Mezz extension or Longoni. I may just get the Longoni extension since I know they're nice. They are a bit longer anyway and fit any cue. Wonder who distributes them to America (they're Italian)?
