But if it was air angel, the cue would be worth losing 10 cars.

There are O'min cues on ebay going for £80. These are brilliant cues at fantastic prices. If you don't like it, you can easily resell it. Thais make great cues for half the money they'd cost here. And O'mins should really retail at £150-200 given the quality of the cue.

I have no problem with Thai cue makers making great cues at competitive prices. I don't consider them the greatest, they are hardly built with air angel. But it's tough to beat the value though I rate Cue Craft above most Thais makers. I just like the feel of a CC. But for £80, all you'd get in this country is a rubbish Peradon, possibly built in China anyway.
What I have a problem with is deception, some have called it fraud. People keep telling me stuff about cues being made abroad for UK cue makers, badge and all, that are shipped into the UK for the cue maker to pass them off as hand made here. This is incredibly dishonest and obviously done to 'earn' huge sums of money. I believe in an honest cue. And this is another reason I advocate folk like JP because he makes cues here and is honest about it. I like O'min for making their own cues there. CJ is pretty clear about his super stuff being made here, the other stuff having Thai shafts. Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread but I've got to reply to you here as the thread I started to find out stuff about Thai Gate has disappeared. Shame it couldn't be explored. Nevermind.

If I lost an air angel I'd be mortified. Stuff the car.

I simply wanted someone to sum it all up (having heard rumours about it) without lazy me having to trawl through a tomb.
