Thank you for that ADR147.

You can't expect to charge the same price as say trevor who makes the cue from start to finish as a cue that has been sourced from the far east and rebadged with an well known ex-cuemaker.

He's entitled to ask or charge what he likes !...as it's his cue and he can do what he likes with it. Whether or not he gets his asking price may be another thing?!

Just like the russian john parris dealer.

No just a clever play of words ( stunning example of a will hunt snooker cue this cue is a super example of this highly sort after makers work) implying that it was made by will hunt why don't you clearly state that it was bought in from Thailand and finished by will hunt. I think if you new the truth in the 1st place you wouldn't have bought it either. Your
doing the same thing Dave coutts did to you the only difference is you know the truth where Dave didn't at e time of sale.

I really don't think you should make too much of this last point...

If that being the case would it be acceptable for one of picassos work bearing his signature on the painting to have been done by his assistant but just signed by picasso. If this was confirmed the painting would be immediately devalued substantially. This is what is happening with a lot of Andy Warhols works. When this cue was bought it was bought with the understanding that WH himself made the cue. Supposed he indicated on the cue that it was made in another country on the badge. Do you think that he would fetch the prices or have the demand that he now has.

Will Hunt is perfectly entitled to do this and the cue is legally a Will Hunt cue, the question of who did what is not really important to the end product the customer buys, surely if Will is happy to put him name to the cue that is what you are paying for? in reality all cues are imported in various levels of build because ebony is not indigenous to the uk.

picasso did that a lot actually, one of the first artists to under stand the true commercial potential of his name. i agree totally with your argument in theory but in practise it is his name to use as he pleases, that said the market has already set the value of the cues at £300-£400 in stead of the £900-£1200 the originals fetch.

Sorry adr147 but that's a load of crap

in what way, he is breaking no laws? how much stuff that you buy all the time do you think you know absolutely 100% the exact source of, the recent horsemeat scandal should maybe open peoples eyes.?

[sanman]

As u clearly state its a scandal and not acceptable practice. Once people do become knowledgeable they become empowered to make descisions based on that knowledge. Withholding that knowledge whilst not illegal is still unethical and immoral depending on situation. That goes against what is acceptable.

I think these days the problem is so huge that a bit like americas gun problems it probably can't be put back in the box. i don't mean with cues as such but with everything we as consumers buy.

[cally]

As ADR says it's so huge now it's just the way things are in MOST industries, soon as a product becomes BIG it goes from being a cottage industry thing into something a lot larger and who knows where most of the stuff we consume comes from when it's just moved abroad and made by, well ,who knows..

Mr birdseye don't make my burgers or mr kipling probs int never made a cake in his life....

We've probably been eating horse for 20 odd years without knowing, at least with a cue it's still a cue eh...

I couldn't have put it better myself mate, absolutely spot on

[Neil Taperell]

I agree that the price of the cues should have alerted people a lot sooner .

But if the cue plays well ....all is good .

Are you having a laugh so in reality Trevor white who I know for fact makes is own cues start to finish cant really say there handmade by him because he doesnt grow his own wood. he takes raw materials and turns them in to a cue. What will hunt / coutts cues did was deceived there customers I know hes entitled to import cues rebadge them and legally call them a will hunt but he should have stated this from the beginning but if he had done that would people have bought them.
