Sipsey Street Irregulars: Update on III Patches from Raven's Wood:

Update on III Patches from Raven's Wood:

Today I received 12 separate orders ranging from 1 to 10 patches each. Most paid with USPS money orders but a couple paid with personal checks (I'll be holding their orders up until the checks clear).

One guy wanted his in Desert.

Could you both put up a notice on your blogs that we don't yet have desert available, like we said in the original advertisement?

We can order the Desert in a bit...I want to make sure that we can sell the minimum order of 200 based on initial orders first, though...

Charlie said...: Any word on if/when they'll accept payment by credit card or PayPal?; March 13, 2009 at 10:50 PM
Bill said...: I second Charlie's post! Are you gonna get PayPay? I don't use the plastic any more and a check takes forever! God bless you, Mike. You've given me hope over the last year or so...; March 14, 2009 at 12:45 AM
RWE-III said...: We're working on it! A fellow 3 percenter is sending a cost-effective program that he has access to.

In the meantime, there's always a US Postal Money Order for those who don't like plastic! :-)

Sorry it hasn't been any faster...doing this part-time has its limitations.

Thanks for your patience!!; March 14, 2009 at 6:50 AM
Johnnyreb said...: PayPal is a really free and easy way to go ...; March 14, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Brock Townsend said...: PayPal is anti-gun. I encourage all to use GearPay when they come back up.https://www.gearpay.com/

"GearPay is extremely well funded, so no problems there.
The issue is nearly resolved and it centers around the fact that reliable PayPal "type" software is unavailable (someone seems to have made sure of that), so it has to be created (programmed) from scratch.

The original software GearPay was using was "adequate" for initial opening and dependability up to several thousand users, that point was reached and the software started to get a little froggy. Upon shutdown, no data was lost and no member privacy was infringed, it was simply a precaution we decided to take. The fact that you can see this page is evidence we are not gone.

The Upgraded software is being written as we speak, additional features added and faster reaction/service times factored in. Remember, GearPay was created as a ProGun way to snub the main online payment service, it was not brought online in an attempt to get rich. That means Customer Safety and Software Durability is the Main Concern.

This is where we are at currently. Being the best is what we strive for and it is still our mission statement. We will be back - as soon as able, the current political climate not withstanding.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
