Have you ever sent a patch to someone only to not get one in return? Tried e-mailing them and get no answers. Put their names on this forum so no one else gets burned by dishonest patch traders. [email protected]
I have a bit of a confession to make... I have become a bad patch trader.... It has only happened once and I'm working on correcting it.... I got a t-shirt from a guy down at Memphis 33's which is the airport station. I told him I'd get him a shirt soon... MY BAD!!! ITS BEEN 8 Months and I still haven't gotten the guy anything... I feel really bad and I'm hoping that I get to stop down there next weekend when I'm in town and give him the patch ive promised... I can't get the shirt till we get more in... If you are out there.... IM SORRY IM WORKING ON MY PROMISE!!! AFTER ALL..... A BROTHER IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS WORD!!!!

I think that everyone who collects and trades patches have fallen into the "bad" category once in a while. Sometimes you forget if you mailed out a trade or not...a few months ago I was looking for something in my office when I came across a patch that I thought I had mailed out. It was to a jake in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I had gotten a patch from him when I was on vacation. I immediately emailed him and informed him of my transgression and put the patch in the mail that day. It can happen...so don't be too harsh.
