Help/advice needed

I think the problem is that it's not brand new. A lot of damage can happen in 2 months to anything you buy. I had a company car that one of my drivers wrote off when it was an hour old about 6 years ago, I couldn't complain to Ford that it was new and they should fix it.

You've been screwed over by the seller. It's a shame people have to act like this these days.

But surely Rob any buyer would deduct the cost of repair from what its worth , which makes me think is it not worth getting it done yourself , hopefully you can get it sorted . I dont agree about playing good with any cue though muck , yes i can adapt to an extent but will never feel comfortable with a cue that dont feel right .

I think that's the problem and that Rob wasn't afforded the chance to see if there was anything wrong with the cue before he bought it.

I'll second that. I hate not having my cue, I'd rather not play.

Very true mate it looks like the sellers friend knew it was damaged and just wanted a quick dishonest sale

Yes mate you are right its not worth me getting the work done and paying for it myself, I just want a refund which isn't gonna happen. I agree some cues don't feel right but most cues I pick up I can play with as long as it has a decent tip and the specs aren't too mad

Did you say you bought from someone on this forum?

[rob s]

Yes mate he was selling it for a friend

My advice would be to get the cue repaired as you say you like it and that damage looks minimal.

You could try estimating your costs and seeing if you can get a partial refund for that from the seller.

It appears to me as if the splice has not really lifted but rather has separated a bit and any cuemaker could fix this quite easily and cheaply. Depending on what you paid for the cue initially, it looks like you will get something that a lot of players are always looking for, and that is a cue that you really like and with which you can play well.

Don't under rate the value of that

Sounds like your a busy fellow rob and you don't really need this.. You know, some people like (having a cue on order, one in the post, sending one back and so on.. looking for the one that's gonna giv'em there first tone). The reality of that is time and hassle, especially when the quest is a one piece
I always suggest, if you find yourself in that situation, walking into shop and buying one ye ol fashioned way, nothing like it

Just run some superglue in the split and clean it up with emery paper.
5 minute job.

Recently read about putting the super glue in the fridge till cold. Then use it and as it dries it contracts pulling the crack closed.
Not tried it myself but this snippet came from hotpot or adr147 or jrc750 I think.
