Update : after 6 days missing, the cue finally shows up on tracking. Interestingly, the USPS tracking report shows that it arrived in Fort Myers Florida two days before I shipped it from Chicago. Ultimately it did finally show up, 4 days late, but in the end, the buyer got his cue. I think USPS is not the best way to ship cues, particularly if the label shows that the package is insured.
One of my Scruggs walked off from a hall in Illinois when I took a piss break. Layed it on the table and when I came out, Gone!! Nobody saw nuthin!!
Local law enforcement acted like it was on me for coming there in the first place. Thot I was gonna get dragged in. Gave up my winnings and split.
Felt like a total coward afterwards, but a night in jail over there would've been bad news. East side of St L.
Never go back.

Sorry to hear that, do you have any photos?
No. I can only give a brief description... Gorgeous birdseye forearm w 4 point inlay, red/white w ebony centers. Cocabola on the butt piece. 59", 2 shafts w the long ivory ferrules. Chrome joint.
all wrapped up in a dark brown Fellini.
if Id've known the fellini was gonna be worth what they are now, I might've included it in the intial complaint.
I listed it as brown leather case. Shame on me!!!
I keep a small tracking device hidden in my case. Not good if just the cue walks off.
Really good idea!!
My cue was older and didn't have the #s and all that engraved, that I know of. Just that lovely TS on the butt plate. Lol.
Damn!! Nice Axe boss!!Stolen Cue..
There was a black soft case with a Tommy Migliorie (TNS Cues) in it. It was stolen last Wendesday from Felt pool hall in Denver, Co. If you have any info, please let me know.

Sad shit. Sad day. Bummer.
OMG!!! Sacrilege!!!I have an old friend who has been playing for a very long time, goes every Friday to the same club as me, and one day after the game he left his cue on the table and went to the toilet, when he returned, there was no cue on the table. We thought it was someone's joke or that someone simply removed it because the cue was in the way. We started asking everyone if someone had seen a cue or someone with a cue. Nobody saw anyone. Later we went out into the street and saw this on the sidewalk near the club ...View attachment 558856
WHAT FOR:angry:
Envious assholes!!
Good idea in general, but many of the places I've played the cops are the last peeps you want showing up. Lol.
Tony B. probly grabbed it!! Lol. Kidding of course. Good luck to ya!!Attention Texas -$150 Reward
My Gilbert Purpleheart jump break was stolen last Saturday night at JR Pockets in Denton, Tx..

That sucks dude!! So does USPS. User Stupid Parcel Stealers!!
I just learned that this cue, was recovered as lost in the mail and was sold in an auction of lost things... Wonder if they can't read the label on packages when they find them...
This is soo shitty... It is the only custom cue I ever owned, and because of my stupidness, and trust in the postal service it was not insured. Typical that my first lost parcel EVER was so expensive. All this did was made me lose a lot of money.
I am told by Ronnie who build it, that the new owner is happy with the cue. A shame this does not comfort me
Late as hell as well.
Sounds fishy dude. I'd check back in about 6 mos if you haven't located it and I bet I know where you'll find it!!
Tim Scrugs cue? That would be a hard one to lose
Sounds fishy dude. I'd check back in about 6 ms if you haven't located it and I bet I know where you'll find it!!
Still hurts to this day.
Some asshole out there has a beautiful 4 point ebony, ivory and cocobola Scruggs, dragging it around in my ol brown Fellini!!
Probly keeps it in his trunk!! Arrrgh.
Funny thing is, I was going in to buy another Joss or Joss West and the owner said " Try one of these. They're made by a guy named Scruggs and they hit like gold!!"Sounds fishy dude. I'd check back in about 6 ms if you haven't located it and I bet I know where you'll find it!!

59" and 20 oz. of pure legend. You won't believe what I paid for her in '79.
Both shafts had those classic long-ass grainy Ivory ferrules Tim made famous. Birds Eye Maple forearm w so many 'eyes' it looked like somebody dinked it w a pellet gun!!!
I never looked back.
Damn thing had an 'Autopilot!!!'
I miss that axe dearly.
She was my baby.
Long shot, but If anybody runs across a red white and black Scruggs w 2 ivory shafts, chrome joint, possibly accompanied by a brown Fellini, please pm me!!!
I'll take it from there.
Part of the problem is positively identifying YOUR cue if it is recovered and proving it is yours. There is a company that makes a stamp called MicroMark ... it will stamp your name so small you can barely see it unless you know where it is and use a magnifying glass. Very good insurance for positively identifying your cue if and when it is recovered.
Thank you for that!!
There are a few Scruggs cues on eBay if you're looking for another one to get by. A couple with birdseye forearms but not 60". They are not mine.Thank you for that!!
