I've only dealt with Pat on one occasion. I got a tip from another member here (who doesn't post very much since he bought a boat
) that Pat may have had one or two leftover JK Fisher blanks in the shop. This was years after Fisher stopped making them, when the blanks were impossible to find, and guys who could find them were paying upwards of $250 for them. I called to find out. Sure enough, Pat had one last 8720 ten footer left. Drove up there from Long Island. I was prepared to pay any reasonable price for it. Pat was trying to figure out what to charge me, and finally found a dog-eared, tattered Fisher price list that had to be 10 years old if it was a day old. He charged me exactly what that ancient price list read--$132.50.
Great guy.
