Who dey?

Squidgy Black · 10-06-2011 05:44PM

Never heard of them.

quicklickpaddy · 10-06-2011 07:43PM

I was in today. They just started on Tuesday - he said it was supposed to be as close to the adverts way of doing things as possible - buying and selling guitars and amps. All the stock is his own vintage collection that he's selling off! He said that he was gonna get a leather couch put in so its like walking into your living room for a jam. I think I'll be going there very often now for a nose at what's in and to talk shíte.

I was blown away when I was talking to him about my guitars and what I've bought and he instantly knew my adverts username and the username of the people I've bought certain stuff off. Looks like it's gonna be a very cool little shop

Where in georges st?
was around there today & didnt notice it

CianRyan · 12-06-2011 06:57PM

I couldn't find this yesterday, anyone have the exact location?

Sounds like a great place.

Dord · 12-06-2011 08:28PM

I too looked, but couldn't find it.

Dublin Guitar · 12-06-2011 08:32PM

People haven't been able to find it because it's on Aungier street, not George's street. It's about two doors up from where Danfay was. Really nice guys in there, some quality gear and a lovely shop. Best of luck to them

CianRyan · 12-06-2011 08:48PM

Ahh, there ya go.
I even asked in Music Maker and they told me Dorset Street...

Can't wait to have a look in there.

Edit: Do you go up as far as DBS or is it closer to the Georges Street end?

Ravelleman · 13-06-2011 07:31PM

It's about 30 metres up from the Aungier Street sign at the end of George's Street.

Nice shop, cool concept and the owner is a sound chap. Hopefully the stock will be rotating nicely over the next few months.

Like quicklickpaddy said, he might even know you if you're on adverts.

Ahh FFS, jeez lads! :rolleyes:

Thanks for clarifying the situation.

Ravelleman · 13-06-2011 10:50PM

In fairness the street name is on the first line of the website. :pac:

It is.... now !!!.

They have obviously updated it, as there was no location information or phone number (just an email address) when I last checked the site yesterday.

Malice · 14-06-2011 08:14PM

Thread title updated.

Miklos · 14-06-2011 11:53PM

I believe it's run by a Boardsie! Was in yesterday, it was radical! Lots of nice kit.

Ah, I stand corrected then!

MetalDog · 15-06-2011 07:57PM

I was in there today, he has some lovely instruments, best of luck to him and I wish to f**k I had some money.

Dord · 15-06-2011 10:34PM

I was in earlier also. Nice guy running it and some damn nice guitars & gear in there.

population · 16-06-2011 11:55PM

Looking forward to seeing this place:)

Zombienosh · 17-06-2011 12:21AM

CianRyan · 17-06-2011 12:39AM

Was in today, jesus there's some guitar porn in there.

Was talking to him about a hard to sell amp and he said he'd help me find a buyer so fingers crossed!
Great shop, must go back in with out the girlfriend and spend more time!

boycey · 18-06-2011 05:55PM

Any nice semis in there lads? Haven't had a chance to drop in yet. I'll have to make a visit.

Ravelleman · 18-06-2011 06:44PM

Not many that I remember...

There was one Duesey Starplayer that looked nice though, if that's your thing.

Dord · 21-06-2011 12:15PM

The Duesy was the only semi that I saw also. Very nice guitar and good price on it too!

Ravelleman · 21-06-2011 03:51PM

Now, I don´t want to ruin this guy´s business, but given that that is precisely what it is, I think that he should out himself and get a proper merchant´s account on adverts.ie. He´s a very nice guy and I wish him well but in the interest of fairness towards the other shop owners using the site and most of all towards the private users that may well be selling gear to him, which he will then sell for a profit on his premises, this is something that should really happen.

Without this kind of transparency, adverts.ie could well be ruined.

Many of us may well know the username behind the shop but I imagine that there are more that do not.

Obviously not all of his stock will be coming from adverts.ie but if businesses are using the site, the rules should be the same for everyone.

I think it´s worth commenting on this here given that it is really a community based website, albeit one that is ultimately expected to turn a profit for daft.ie, or whoever owns all these sites.

Thanks for you Comments Ravellman Yes This is Something I will be doing this week....
I Have just been so Busy putting the Shop together that I have been not doing anything on advets at all recently

Hi All :-) A Lot of People will Know me from buying selling and Trading over the Years on Adverts
I have decided after thinking about it to try and do something different with a Shop In Dublin City Centre
The Shop is Currently Stocked with My Personal Guitars and Amps and Consignment Sales so thats how it is at present

The Aim is to Provide a Secondhand/Vintage/Consignment Service for people to Buy Sell or Exchange and do it in a Setting that has a Nice/safe feel and Vibe to it

I have Told Most Adverts People that Have come in on the Back of the Very Positive Feedback the shop has been getting who I am and What the Shop is about so it's not that I am Trying to Keep Myself a Secret I have just been so Taken Up with the amount of work that has gone in to Putting this Shop together that it's not been possible

Anyway Thanks to everybody that has come in so far and your Very Encouraging Comments I will be sending the Mods a Mail Now to ask that my username be Changed

But Sure You can still Call me Dub :-)

Cheers and Look forward to seeing you soon @ SomeneckGuitars

All the Very Best
