    Oh crap really.
    Is that what shilling is?
    I thought it was only if I was actually trying to sell something. :o

    How dare you question the rulez! :D It's not crap, it's there for a reason. (I might be twisting the context there a bit)
    People tend to hate doorstep sellers anyway, if they wanted somthing, they'd call and ask for it, and I'm fairly sure you need a licence to sell booze. And I'm also fairly sure some other people already sell Pizza you can phone up and get delivered.

    I'm actually wondering myself how my mind ended up here. The enterpreneur in me is clearing bursting to get out. Anyway, the ESB power (trust me on this) is about to go, so I think I'll leave the house.


    Ted if you're actually serious, then I hope you don't mind me asking but what is it you're ACTUALLY passionate about? That's what you should go into business in, not some hair brained get rich quick scheme idea. There are numerous, numerous resources and support out there for budding entrepreneurs like yourself that have an idea but don't know where to start, and it's all right in front of your fingertips! There's even a fantastic resource here on boards, The Entrepreneurial and Business forum-

    http://touch.boards.ie/forum/106

    and some more to give you some ideas-

    I'm just changing this thread, sorry. The old idea was a non runner I think anyway.

    You're at home with friends on a Saturday night, The door bell rings just after 10. You answer the door to find Pete. He's selling cocktails for 5e a pop!
    There's 5 girls and 5 guys in your kitchen and you're playing a few drinking games.
    Would you buy alcohol from Pete. Your booze is running dry remember. Also it will mean more stock for a session after you leave a nightclub.


    Being honest, Teddy.
    Sounds like you are using boards.ie as a tester for a nixer you have in mind. Which I'll be honest. Dont look to boards for answers. Just do it. Make as much as you can.

    I don't think the OP means off licenses delivering alcohol think he means like an actual bar servant in waistcoat and dickie bow knocking at your door offering "a round of shots gentlemen" ?

    It's quite a amusing sight thinking about it but best of luck anyway, make sure it's opt in rather than opt out. My pensioner parents don't want door to door bar service knocking at 10pm

    Terrible idea.

    If I want alcohol I'll have it in the house. Simples. I've never been in a position like that and I wouldn't pay pub prices for one drink from some guy at the door.

    It's weird.

    Id much prefer a milkman type system, where you could have your beer delivered direct to your door each night for a fee :pac:


    I know of two people who do this,One is actually a milkman who has slabs of cans in his van he also sells alco and spirit bottles.,As he is doing his milk rounds from 12 to 5/6 you can just ring him and he will deliver,He is doing this a few years now.The garda know he does it to and have turned a blind eye to it.

    Frig that OP. Someone would start making their own spirits cheap and forget to remove the methanol. Cue hundreds dead from methanol poisoning.

    You should use a Ghostbusters ambulance type car as your delivery vehicle, if you cant get one of these an old hearse would do
