HELP..Won a cue on ebay Made by OMIN but not sure if fake or genuine

Why you quoting Franz Kafka ??? lol

You got me jrc, was meant to be a bit of a tongue in cheek comment. Never the less it's a beautiful quote of describing that the present moment is all there is and should be recognized.

Think I can help here. To put it simply, I think what j6 was trying to say is this: The Expulsion from Paradise is eternal in it's principal aspect. This makes it irrevocable and our living in this world inevitable, but the eternal nature of the process has the effect that not only could we forever remain in Paradise but we are currently there, whether we know it or not.

Hope this helped

good stuff ! a bit more Kafka and a bit less "my splices are better than your splices" would make this forum a better place ... not sure that's what j6 meant though LOL ...

I do not recall Omin Thailand having "Enlighten" model. So chances are it's a fake Omin Thai cue (refer to the website). Is it a genuine China Omin? Maybe... Haven't done any homework on it. If you do a search, someone in the forum did mentioned about Omin China wanting to buy the rights from Omin Thailand but was rejected. IMO, unauthorise change in cue maker's badge would constitute the cue being fake. Basically, someone buying tons of badges, stick it to sub standard cues and posing them off as cues made by reputable cue makers. Not going into this area as this would open up another can of worms.

Hope this little info helps.

I know a guy that is a Omin cue dealer and you can order a genuine Omin cue from him with any specs and wood you like and any design. Although the price range starts at about 200USD for just a basic cue. So if you want a genuine Omin cue exactly to your specs and design shoot me a email tylerkinnison@ymail.com. PS the cue you got doesn't look bad at all, even if it isn't genuine which most likely is not, you still have a nice cue.

Still surprised that there are fake Omin cues about when they are cheap as chips to buy in the first place.

I won it for 78 pounds! Then happened to be on the forum and saw stuff about fakes floating about so kinda worried me

at £78 who cares - it is a lot of cue for that money.
