Yes, there were plenty there during the week

Thanks

ok so guys just got back from jonesborugh and i got to say, some value for your poun , i spent £60 which got me quite a lot id say, below are the prices:

Power Pulse Rockets: £35 ( i got 1 pack )
Delta Force: 2 packs for £5 ( i got 2 packs )
Thunder Rockets: 2 packs for £5 ( i got 6 packs )
Sky Bolt Rockets: £10 a pack ( i got 2 packs )
Photon Burst: 2 packs for £5 ( i got 2 packs )

I know this adds upto £80 but i haggled the hell outta them and then it got dropped to £60, best thing to say to haggle is ' oh ill go and see what the other shop prices are ' , right away the power pulse went from £35 to £25 and then they said they would give me 2 packs of delta force for free and also 2 packs of photon burst for free, as they ' wanted to be nice ' , they just overheard me saying to a mate ill check the other other shop as they have cheaper thunder rockets. 

Also keep in mind i went to the last shop of the row, the one closest to the boots stand, hope this is helpful to anyone in the future! all these prices are of 15-10-17 at 9:15 in the morning.

We're all the shops open on the row at the market? First or second one as you turn in, think it has a black cat on the sign is normally good, second last one with a bright star sign is that where you got your stuff

No I went to the very last one as I got stuff that was diamond fireworks not just bright star, also the first and second one wasn’t open and the rest of the shops were, they also had no black c at a only tapirki

Power Pulse Rockets: £35

Are these the packs with various different sizes? And you get about 25-30 rockets in all?

It has 4 different sizes and has 24 rockets all together

Ah yeah, a quick google search and I saw them,

Not a big fan of those packs, always seemed a bit of a let down,

There’s nothing like the bang off a War Hawk!

Do the lads in the market take Euro?

Yes they do mate, but £ is what you should go with as thunder rockets are 2 packs for 7€ which is around £6 whereas with sterling you can get 2 packs for £5 , you just get more with Sterling and since I’m from the north I generally have more of it on me, and also they may be a let down if I got them for £35 but I got them for £25 which they should be better value for money

May head up monday..Usually go to the row of 4 units/shops in Jonesborough. Best for value or anywhere else better? thanks in advance.

if i tell ya the truth, youd be safer go sunday, dont think the shops are open on monday as the day i was up, the person in the last shop said they should be sold out by the 29th as i was thinking the same as you, going up day before halloween get a lot of good deals, better than usual, but they might still be there if you go up, really just depends if a lot of people have gone up or not

Was talking to the staff when I was up there a couple of weeks ago, they said that they sell through out the year, don't forget that Guy Fawkes night is Nov 5th, plus New Years eve isn't too far away.......

Cheers for that, do they have any contact information by any chance? And is it the container thing where he sells them from or is it the shop behind it? Don't want to drive all the way up and they are closed/have nothing haha. I wanted them for this weekend for a birthday party.

I went to the place above start of November last year and there was literally about 4 cakes, a few trident missiles and 1 selection box left, it was a waste of time. Fireworks specialist and fireworks factory on the old Dublin road both had a lot more stuff still in them

That's what I'm afraid of, they'll have nothing or they won't be open. If they had any contact information it would be nice.

Its a regular shop, open regular shop hours

+44 4830 848 772 (This is the number printed on the off licence leaflet they gave me a few weeks ago, but it's all the one shop/owner set up)

Cheers man, appreciate it. I'll give them a ring in the morning.

Might get lucky on a Sunday with the shops at the market at the minute, too soon for them to be open midweek yet. Wonder will prices be any better with the weak sterling too
