Back at the Cerritos meet I loaned Abert a new Half Moon to copy in CF. A few weeks later he had them done in China and was ready to ship. I said to be sure he returned the original ($125). He said he would get it from the fab shop and ship them both. Then he went dark. I also paid for the CF mirror covers, so I am out as much as anyone.
I have faith he will return to us and meet all of his commitments. If he uses my payment to survive with his illness and can't deliver, well that's life out on the edge of commerce. These deals are risky, but the rewards are high. Look at the great things available from Tone, Scott and Ron.
