That's a shame. Hope people can get a bargain. Can you bid online by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywalker Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 If I had known earlier I would have a day off from the day job and driven up there. I could have even taken her indoors to the seaside in the same trip. Theye even had some base guitars - if they can't spell does that mean they don't know how much they should be asking?? I might call them tomorrow and see if there is anything left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Dave Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) I was toying with the idea of going, but the only thing that really interested me was a Boss RC50 and I don't really 'need' one at the moment. I can't say I'm upset to see piedog go: a few months ago I wanted a Hercules stand they had a good deal at £20. Their unit was 50ft off my route to work, so I asked if I could pick it up and save the £9 postage but they said no due to insurance reasons not allowing customers on site. I said ok, how about we meet off site or I send a courier to pick it up or anything ... but they said no, I'd have to pay the £9 no matter what so I left it and bought one totalling £21 from a different place. I'm not surprised they weren't profitable! Edited June 13, 2007 by Alpha-Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 It's handy to know people, my mate who owns the shop in Northallerton got the Hartke 4x10 for me. And no, it won't be ending up on the bay, I fully intend to use it. *smashin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
