Loan to buy your cues

[Stevie1]

A was wondering whats people thought of starting a system in place ware we all help each other to by that special cue by seting up a kind of manauge like they did in the old factories ware all members paid cash every week and we all had a loan ? So say we take turns every week and pay say £10 for each member to by a cue eny thoughts or am.i just board and wafaling rubish

That could work Stevie. Especially in the high end cue department, but everyone starts somewhere. With that in mind, all cue makers/ Sales people in cues, what better place to offer players the chance to buy that first cue, upgrade their current cue, or purchase that lifetime ultimate cue....than right here?

Am sure we all have a cue we want that some one is selling but dont have the cash up front if we all help each other out we could cum up with a plan

seen plenty of them out of reach at the time cues but no one does instalment plans unfortuantly

I guess that trust has a lot to do with this type of stuff.
When I ordered my custom American pool cues, I was recommended to the cue maker by a mutual friend. This allowed me to first purchase a break cue, which I did and paid for it upfront. This then began my own relationship with the cue maker who in turn began to know and trust me...
By the time I ordered my playing cue from him, we agreed on a deposit then I could pay it off in instalments which I did and paid the outstanding balance 2-3 weeks before the cue was ready to ship.

My point being is that some cue makers will allow the buyer to pay in instalments- but trust has to be built in place first.

BTW
I think it's a great idea - even if it's just to pull some community spirit together...
In this day and age it would be nice to see humans treat each other with decency, respect and love!

[AmarZain]

a nice thought unfortunately I feel the concept itself is flawed

[Stevie1]

Yes but i was thinking more in the lines of all between us in the fourm in such away were say 30 of us pay £ each week and take turns in a cycle so person gets a turn then you by that cue you always wanted

There are a lot of key points that would need sorting out, agreed and adhered too.
We all have dream cues that are priced accordingly - so how would a budget for each person be set?
E.g.
Person A has a dream cue that costs £500 - however person B has a dream cue that costs £900
How do you envision this working?

Then there is the sticking point of who holds the money.
I think that this should be either:
A well know existing retailer or a well know cue maker - a person who values their reputation more than a few hundred pounds...

[Stevie1]

Yes a no what you are saying so i am.open to thoughts and solutions

Good shout sir!
I'll leave this project in your good hands then Stevie1. Will be interesting to see how this develops...

[Stevie1]

Well if we get some imput to best way to start it up.would be good and see how it pans out

[Catch 22]

The waiting times on some cues are quite long now, so ordering a cue now to pick up in a year at £20 a week would buy any cue you wanted.

Also you could end up in a situation where someone who has gotten their cue then stops paying the weekly payment for others to get theirs etc
