    Pretty poor attitude to take to be honest - the store at the Red Cow will be used by mainly people in the greater Dublin area and surrounding counties. When the novelty of a brand new music store fades what you'll have is the majority of your in store customers playing your instruments and nobody buying them - it will be somewhere to go for a few hours for the crack.

    You're online store has the potential to reach out to customers all over Ireland, UK and Europe. If I were a business man, I would be doing everything it takes to make sure I can reach as many potential customers as humanly possible.

    This applies now more so than ever - the days of wine and roses are over.
    Everyone's sick of hearing about the recession but its here and its going to here for the foreseeable future. So utilizing every angle possible to sell product should be the most important thing to the owners and management of X-Music.

    Only today I was asked by a friend to recommend somewhere to buy a guitar - I pointed the person towards Thomann and GAK. This person has no car and has no interest in travelling out to the Red Cow from South Dublin so he wanted to purchase from an internet retailer. If your website was up and running I would have pointed him towards it. There lies your problem.

    But it seems like you're not too bothered missing out on revenue - fair play to you.
    You'll be operating from a garden shed in no time with that attitude.


    I totally understand your frustration, and the website is very important to us. We are working on it, but as I said it will take time to put it all into place.

    The one thing we don't want to do is launch an online service that can't do what it promised.

    Tone Pros TOM Bridge for Epiphones

    I'm afraid were not doing any zoom gear at the moment.

    Until we can sort out a better price from the distributers were not going to be doing them.


    Edit: Just seen your Tone Pro's bit, I'll send you a PM.

    Looks to me like the XMusic site has been hacked:

    When you try to open it a cookie coming from the following domain:
    www.eghwfgtvwfteww.cn
    tries to open a "Windows Installer" on my system.

    Please fix your security asap! :mad:

    Large quantities = cheaper price.

    That's what were trying to bring about.

    Way to go! :D

    Hmmm, seems to be fixed now. :confused: You wouldn't have noticed it if your browser automatically blocks cookies.

    Theres really no excuse for not having a basic site in place with opening hours, and perhaps an email subscription to let you know about new stuff on the site and instore and the launch of the full online shop.

    Thats said people are being very unrealistic if you think you can set up an online store, from scratch and everything that goes on behind it, like packaging, and shipping them, premises for doing this, holding stock, new staff to do all this, and set up an online shop, in only a couple of months. Having the bricks and mortar shop up and running, only helps with a bit of this. Its not like you can have the guys working in the shop, wrapping orders and delivering them on his lunch break.
