John Parris Ultimate 1 Piece cue, Replica of Ronnies cue made by Hunt & Osborne

Not every one can afford to drive a porsche? Ford does the same job but with less comfort.

A Porcsche has a different body shape and engine etc than a Ford - last time I checked cues were all made out of wood. Your analogy is much the same as your ethics fedia.

For this price you could get a Trevor White, a Wooldridge, a nice case, a coaching lesson off a top pro, a curry and a show, a cuddly toy (generation game analogy) and some perfume to keep your wife happy.

WOW...1200 pounds for a JP Ultimate cue does sound like rip-off.

actually fords are much comfier than a porsche due to more padding on the seats.

If my numbers are right, a plain TW and a plain MW plus extensions will cost about 900 GBP, a nice case from Crispian will be around 200 GBP, so with 100 GBP or may be even less I can get a cuddly toy, a curry and a show, and a lesson from a top pro, plus some perfume in the UK?

I think I am going to move.

In Vancouver, it cannot get you even a nice dinner for two--never mind perfume to keep the mrs happy

If I have to pay postage and custom duty and tax and all that, 1200 GBP may not even be enough to get those two cues and the case into Canada. LOL.

Something is wrong.

Correct, it also has a 18k crystal diamond instead of cheap elkmaster tip and can screw back twice up and down the table effortless.

Showing a better sense of humour than in previous threads I've seen

Pure economics.. everything that has a long waiting list has a premium value when you have it now and available! Remember no one is forced to pay it.. anyone who does pay that for it, is by definition happy to do so.

Don't get why you all have a problem with it tbh.. you don't want it, you don't buy it. Simplez.

I sure don't care either way but some might argue that people like Fedia contribute to the long wait that they are profiting from, making normal customers wait longer for their custom order.

It means that if you can't afford to buy it for £1200 you may have to choose Unclevit for £160. Dont forget that snooker is very mental game.

Glad u brought that point up. Take an unbadged unclevits cue and an unbadged ultimate JP and u would in all cases choose the C brand unclevits cue in all aspects.

Also using the analogy of a porcshe is plain silly. take a look at the last cue that unclevit sold and compare it to your ultimate, you can see the difference. If unclevits cue represents a ford then i would have to come to the conclusion that ford is the superior car. But again the is based entirely upon the rationale u woolf set out in the first place.

What u will also find here woolf147/fedia is that this forum is a knowledgeable place as far as cues are concerned and altough there may be varying opinions people understand what the market value for a cue is .

Fair point that ....never thought of it that way . Assume he has say 10 on order just to make a profit , it will slow the ordering process down

Spot on, just shows how ridiculous these people are :snooker:

I have got a Riley three piece Ronnie O'Sullivan cue, it even has his signature on the side. Anyone want that? I am prepared to let it go £100 cheaper than the above Parris, and O'Sullivan is an even better player!!!

All right, £1000, final offer and I will also throw in some red chalk and a Eddie Charlton hand towel.

Actually the splices are uneven, its second hand yet it is four or five hundred pounds dearer than it costs brand new, unless you are lucky it is not even made to your own ideal spec and you are actually compromising. If you do buy it and it gets broken in transit or is damaged in some way what comeback does the buyer have?

Certainly there is more piece of mind if you buy it from a shop, the maker themselves or someone with a good rep like ADR147.

We could all order cues and sell them for more money like this guy, but would you have the nerve?
He makes the maufacturers look more expensive than they actually are, he mis-represents the items he sells too.

(For example the cue is a 'replica of Ronnie's' he says
Fedia quite likes name dropping but this cue is not an exact 'replica of Ronnies' as he ROS does not use one like this anymore and it is the wrong weight, the wrong size, and it is not even made by the same person/company that did make it (Hunt and Osbourne) so it is not quite right to list it like that do you not think?)

Furthermore he says he prefers another cue evertime he sells one, so why keep buying them? He buys them to sell them for more than what they cost to make money obviously. Nothing wrong with that you might think. Well no there is - Private sellers like ADR147 and Hotpot etc and other collectors come on here and sell a number of cues too. The difference with them is they are not ripping people off and they list accurate descriptions of what it is they are selling.

I have nothing against anyone selling a cue and making a profit but fedia/woolf takes the biscuit a little you have to admit.
So I say good on the people who have stood up and said something on the thread!

People are entitled to their opinion and only make comments if something is not right i.e. fake, or overly expensive.
If fedia has the nerve to sell on the forum for his inflated prices then I think he should have to face the music from people that find this wrong of him.

Sheep in woolf's clothing he most certainly is not.
