Organizers really need to keep people updated when something like this happens, especially because i'm sure there are a lot of cases like yours where people travel from pretty far out to be able to make it
I thank you for your kindness goid sir/ma’am. I am just in a foul mood and needed to get this information out to others like me that was lied to.@TankCop — Welcome to DPF, by the way — be sure to stop by and introduce yourself:
maybe you can make some trades with our wonderful members instead
Your words are kind. Thank you. I am going to try for the NorCal event next week on the 9th.That would be very discouraging. Especially for ones First, In person PT event.
I know it's Hard, but, Please, don't let it discourage you. More and more events are popping up these days.
Hopefully, we'll get a PT Event scheduled for this year.

Hello! I represent The Rabbit Hole and just wanted to take a minute to share our side.Ugh! This store/group/venue seems to have messed up. But thank you for sharing the information here. I have not heard of this trading location before (but I live far away from Cali, so that is probably not saying much.) So odd that they would plan/advertise and then cancel due to lack of space (if I understand correctly)? Seems like they should know how much space they have when they decide to hold a trading event.
Agree regarding reaching out and doing some close to event research to confirm the information and its current accuracy. But I also totally get the confidence in believing what is being advertised by the host.
Anyway, I also hope you do not get discouraged.
Also, I do think there are a few people on this forum who attend the Northern Cali pin trading events. Maybe they can provide some details on what to expect and (to be proactive) where to double check if anything changes regarding the event last minute.
Welcome to the forum! Glad you are here.
Hi @Clb — Welcome to DPF!Hello! I represent The Rabbit Hole and just wanted to take a minute to share our side.
I will agree we messed up by not removing the event from our website. (It was an oversight- we thought we had already removed it and we made a mistake as humans do.)
We did post on our IG, any pin trading groups, and local pages stating the event was cancelled. We had major, unexpected water damage happen to 2/3 of our building which destroyed the room we usually use for our pin trading. We have had to close these 2 rooms, cram all product into the remaining room, and it has caused major stress on our business. We’ve hosted multiple other pin events in our store that were very successful, we do not charge anyone for this event and do not profit from it in any way.
When Benjamin arrived, we apologized profusely and offered him a free pin. We realize this doesn’t make up for the frustration, but we did try.
He has now taken this very far and continues to email us and harass us regarding this incident. Again, we agree this was an oversight on our end and we apologize.
I also want to point out: this is a large event we host, and have many people attend. He is the only one who didn’t get the message that it was cancelled, proving that we did indeed do our best to get the word out about the cancellation. (Again, aside from the website mix up.)
There was an ad listed on another event website that he shared with us, but we did NOT create that event ad nor were even aware of it to be able to shut that down.

I wish to stay sorry for any true I have caused this business. When you travel from Fresno to Lodi (a trip of 122+ miles) you expect the event to still be held.Hello! I represent The Rabbit Hole and just wanted to take a minute to share our side.

We appreciate your input but having done this event in the past, it would not have fit. As you can see in the videos, we have one entire large room devoted to it and even then, it is overfilled.I wish to stay sorry for any true I have caused this business. When you travel from Fresno to Lodi (a trip of 122+ miles) you expect the event to still be held.
I am 44 years old work double shifts nearly each day and rarely get enough time off or save enough to travel. One can understand I put a lot into going here to be told I wasted all that. Yes I had full reason for my anger.
Traveling for me is a cost I can’t afford often. I am thankful for the businesses kindness.
I still want it to be know that a few simple actions could have been done. I saw a video of your October pin event. I saw quite a few tables in the stores that could have been set up. You could have put tables outside your store as well.
These actions would take less then an hour to do. I have done these for my business I work for so I know, it could have been done.
You just had 3 hour event. You could have tried.
That’s all I will say anymore on this matter. My point is made, I do apologies for hand so called “Harassment” which is really nothing more then my frustration at a business not trying hard enough.
May you have better luck in the future but I will never visit this store again.
Please check your personal emails. We reached out to offer to reimburse your gas costs.I wish to stay sorry for any true I have caused this business. When you travel from Fresno to Lodi (a trip of 122+ miles) you expect the event to still be held.
