  2. Kindly encourage UK traders to price their wares in Euro given the current poor exchange rates....
  3. Hmm, must see if it can do the return trip between D'Oiler Street and Parnell Square via O'Connell Street.....
  4. These bright eyed bushy tailed kids appear from time to time, full of rampant, flowing enthusiasm and rapidly either sink quickly or get torn to pieces as a faulty item lands them in court due to not handling it correctly. A look at the boys FB page does not inspire and items like the one Ive quoted below is not something any serious business would make public knowledge Never admit failings or that you know little of something. Get someone who knows what they are doing and use them. Also model shops in Belfast tend not to last very long for whatever reason. Probably prices compared to the English boxshifters who sell the same items for less. Also social media is not the way to advertise, best way is to trade at exhibitions. He also admits his business budget is rather limited and that he is trying to launch himself. The first rule of business is that you must spend money to make money and this small fry wont become a banquet anytime soon......... Looking forward to the closing down sale when the 'Model Shop' is returned to being the spare bedroom

  12. Dont forget too, Sundeala was hard to get outside of the UK for a long time, a lot of books/magazines swore by the stuff and yet when you went to get it in Ireland it was unavailable. It depends on if the layout is to be portable or not, personally marine ply would be my preference for a portable layout as the main element
  13. Someone got a bargain anyway

  19. If you are intending to bid pm the seller offering to pay postage before the auction ends as you may be refused bidding automatically otherwise

  21. 'Fools and their money'
  22. Got the last 1 out of Hawkins St today - like the old days seeing the model being removed from the display case and placed into its box.
  23. Doubt whether you will hear much of this again sadly - and why pull a 3 year old thread from its slumber...........
