Scott Gracio
I cannot understand what Scott is thinking. I know Scott somewhat. I have about 7 cues I got from him. He was always good at following through with me and was a man of his word.
However, I know in this instance, he has not followed through. The Hoppe blank that Scott used to make Sam's cue was mine, I had bought it on ebay and had shipped it to Scott to make me a cue. Eventually, I decided I did not need another cue and asked Sam if he wanted to have Scott make him a cue using my blank. Sam had another cue that Scott had made for him, after I had vouched for Scott, so Sam figured he would get one done to his specs. Sam paid me for the blank and now I feel like a jerk because I got him involved with Scott, who appears to have just ripped off Sam.
I understand Scott might be going through some tough personal times, but that is no excuse for taking Sam's money and not sending him the cue that was promised.
