Update to Data Usage Policy
First, Patchtrends.com is NOT affiliated in any way with Patchvalues.com.
I have decided that for the time being, I am going to allow anyone who is both a member of Patchtrends.com *and* Patchvalues.com may contribute Patchtrends.com sales data to Patchvalues.com.
In other words, one may use Patchtrends.com as a research tool for contributing price points to the Patchvalues.com database.
I am doing this for the good of the hobby and the fact that I believe with enough momentum, Patchvalues.com can really take off as a useful service. I want Patchtrends.com to help here.
Patchtrends.com at the present has over 1 MILLION auctions saved, and I don't want to be selfish with this data.
If you are the owner or wish to create a focused price guide website for a particular area of the hobby, please contact me. I may be willing to offer the same to your users. I don't want to overlap collection areas (e.g., Patchvalues.com focuses on OA issues). However, I would like to do the same for camp patches, csps, merit badges, etc. As long as it's a targeted type of item.
Refer a Friend Program
I an effort to reach more potential users, I am offering to existing members of Patchtrends.com with a Yearly membership the opportunity to have a FREE annual membership ($15 value).
For up to 3 referrals signing up for a Yearly account, I will reimburse the referrer $5 of the original cost of membership. Getting 3 referrals to sign up will get you the full $15 back.
Rules:
* referrer must be a Yearly members
* referred new member must sign up for a yearly subscription
* this $5 reward is one time only, members must get 3 new sign ups per year (no carry over)
I have a brief video on how to use the "Refer a Friend" tool that members will see once they've logged in.
No New "Monthly" Accounts Being Accepted
All monthly accounts will be allowed to remain active, but from now on I am only accepting annual subscriptions.
TOR Organizers, FREE demo account for your events
If you are a TOR organizer, please contact me. I'd like to provide a FREE demo account for use by your TOR's participants for the duration of the event. The idea is to give you something to promote it as a benefit of coming - particularly for potential buyers to increase their awareness about the current value or demand of a particular item.
Finally,
Please feel free to email me directly with questions or call me at any time. I am particularly interested in continuously improving the site from the member side and offering new features. Please let me know what you'd like to see!
Thank You,
