Dave Coutts cue or not?

[SouthPaw]

i think if that item stays on one us is going to have to win it to stop some poor sod getting done.

Maybe Dave will buy it =p I already feel sorry for the future owner but saying that he or she may think it plays great until the dye runs off!...

Where would you stop Andrew ..........that Parris you put up the other day has had more bids on it !

How many fakes do you get offered each week do you reckon on average ? And I assume most would be Parris cues ?

Asked Trevor to put his badge in a 6" mini butt , he said that he stopped doing them , as he saw someone had taken one out and tried to fit to another cue and pass it off as a TW .........the lengths that people go to !!!

Yeah i noticed that, but he does have 2 cues available, maybe that's his plan, sell one buy it now, the other goes the distance ????

unfortunately, "uk dave coutts" is a legally registered business in china and therefore are able to use "dave coutts" as their brand name. unless there is a legal challenge both in the uk and china and the subsequent rulings come out in favor of the original "dave coutts", there is no legal basis for saying that cue is a fake

can't understand why the auction is still running if dave has complained?

Shame tho that China has no morals at all ehh

[mythman69]

Nah, both are auction (no buy it now). Maybe worth asking if they have two red cues. See if another one magically becomes available.
