Badges! no need some stinking badges....................I'll take one! Please PM me how you want to be paid.  For small items like this I don't believe people would fear paying in advance especially after knowing you have been doing this for a while.

My two cents!

Note: Can I still call myself a collector if I only have one machine?..........for now

Quoted from gorydeath

same here.  they must have said yes before for you to pm them.  so come on and keep your word people.  if need be i can take more bk's.  but i do have quite the collection now.

I'll third that .. amazing that anyone would b*tch about what Bish is doing

Quoted from Vengeance

I'd love to know who is sending you negative PM's, that's BS

Agree 100%. You and Sparky need to form a club. I don't get any negative PMs and I'm amazed when folks say they get negative PMs. Who would have the nerve to b**** about this? You are doing service and alot of folks appreciate it.

OK... I know some will get pissed by me writing this, but this is how it goes... here is my take on this.

Whether you agree to buy a 3000$ mame or a crest for 7 bucks, a commitment is a commitment. Bish and I have the same motivation... we do it for the hobby. As for machines, and B1 will probably say the same with him also doing 60-in-1 cabs, we make next to nothing. I won't lie... I make on average less than 10 bucks an hour for my work, if even that. Bish makes NOTHING for his crests, which he pays for by credit... so if commitments aren't met, he is paying part of the bill in the end. We don't need to do this... but we do, because we like it.

Of course, understandibly, there are always situations where money can suddenly get tight and you cannot necessarily go through with your commitment. This happens... but explanations are appreciated, and so is compensation. But this hardly applies in Bish's case... we are talking about on average amounts under 25$. But take 20 people that do that, and Bish is strapped by 500$... it adds up.

But all I will say is this... what goes around comes around, guys. Those who PM Bish with unkind words always get it back in the end. Case in point? I am an honest person and I hate getting lied to, so I don't (as much as possible ) myself. So if someone selling a machine comes up to me and asks me if so-and-so is a reliable person to sell to, and that that seller has pulled a stunt on me in the past, I tell the truth. Sometimes I think I may be going a bit harsh, but then I look at what I have as a collection at home, and look at all the games I have sold due to situations of the sort in order to cover my losses.

Nope... I don't feel bad one bit. I will NEVER openly expose someone. I don't do the dirty laundry in public kind of thing. But guys... it's a small community. Piss off enough people and doors start closing damn fast.

I sent you a nice message!!!!

on the thread... on cgcc, but you should have gotten a nice message via Paypal!!!!!

I say out the people who are ragging on Bish for this, there is absolutely no excuse to give him a hard time on this.  I know I was a straggler getting my money in and it really just came down to I had forgotten, but I know I was nothing but apologetic when I remembered after Bish posted again.  

I say out them so we can give them all a nice public flogging!  

I agree with the Spark-aroni.

I DID forget about my CGCC crest commitment, which was rectified as soon as i realized.  and i dunno about anyone else, but i try to throw bish an extra couple of sheckels on a pair of crests for the hard work and organizing he is doing.  Like Sparky says, doing the work on a hobbypays next to nothing.  SUre you get some money for your work, but the massive number of hours that go into these projects is pretty staggering.

Even what i do professionally (guitar repair) there are times when i spend 2-3 hours on an instruement, and know in advance that i can't bill for 10% of my time.... time consuming repairs that take FOREVER!!! (and as a nod to Sparky, the jobs i hate so much are finish work.... hope he is going to enjoy refinishing TMNT)

I'm with Adam and Sparky...
Screw them- OUT them, it's 10 bucks. <----With Adam there
mess happens sometimes <------- With Sparky there (I persoanlly owe Bish a SHITLOAD of money, but we were both informed on our decision (I have a no intrest/no payments until 2015! Thanks Bish) j/k

That said though it's $10 bucks...stop smoking for a day, have  2 less beers one night out...chrst even I can afford a crest and I am dead poor

I know I forgot on one of these patches but once reminded I paid right away.

Bish you should just start pre-pay ordering. I think all of these were less than 10 bucks each when made.
Just charge $10 per crest pre-paid. Keep the change for your efforts buy a coffee or a beer. You deserve it.

OUT The bastards and let me at em'


*One a side note Damn Sparky I need to up my prices on Mames and such  

I really appreciate your work and these incredible crests.

As others already mentioned, they are beautiful and unique
work of art. I have been very happy and impressed with
the crests that you have made to date, and certainly would
like to purchase more from you in the future.

If it can be of any help, if you are stuck with extra BK & CGCC
unclaimed crests, I would like to take one more of each, please.

Please PM me the total for one BK and one CGCC crests, mailed,
to be paid via Paypal...

Thanks!
- Sylvain.

I've said that before, and I'd be saying it again if you hadn't beat me to it. People shouldn't have to be beat over the head to honor their commitments, but for some people that may be what is needed.

Don't make me go get my sack of oranges!

Don't make me go get my sack of oranges!

I am already prepared!

I agree that we should put the money up fronts so you do not get screwed.
