Patrick contacted me on 3/1/00 to trade Prince of Persia 3D for Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill. On 3/3/00 I sent my game to him via registered mail & then e-mailed him. (I still have all the receipts proving I sent it.) He e-mailed back saying he would post my game later that same day. I have had no further contact with Patrick as he never answered my second e-mail to him which I made 6-7 weeks later. I did however get an e-mail from a guy named David who was supposed to be taking care of Patrick's pending trades while Patrick was out of commission (according to his account it was due to an accident). David said he would look into it and get back with me in a week. It's now been 2 1/2 weeks and I have received no response to my two inquiries since then. I have been very patient and polite in my e-mails to Patrick, but it's now time for me to take action. I'll be glad to retract my bad traders report if Patrick will make good on this trade. But as of now, I would advise other traders NOT to trade with this person!
PS: If you're wondering why my pending trade is dated 5/31/00, it's due to the GTZ Administrator deleting 3-month old pending trades. So I re-entered the listing.

I am maybe sticking my neck out in defence of Patrick Buys but he has always been a good trader and being from South Africa myself a few traders asked me to find out about trades not being fulfilled. I have discovered that Patrick had a motor bike accident and is not back at work yet.
I do not know him personally and we live 900 km apart but I have personaly traded with him and never had a problem.
I will try to find out more and anybody concerned can contact me at

Please do not be hasty in your judgement and dont' condemn a whole nation for one person!
