customers, do you sell, stupid questions?

[Hugh-Candoit (ENG)]

Now I want a full harness on a race seat and the car needs to be Red.

Or rather an orangy red.

[Hugh-Candoit (ENG)]

Yeh thats the one, someone nicked my spot lights of the front!!!

That car gave me the most fun of any rust bucket I ever owned.

Back to the original subject - I've just been asked if we sell rat poison!???

Sometimes you have to wonder....

[Lee]

you mean to tell me your the only trophy and engravers in the country that doesn't stock rat poison! you really should diversify you know its the only way forward....

[ironplanet uk900]

How embarrassing,,,No Rat poison in stock Shame on you, Call yourself a Ttophy shop

[StevenB]

Oops my mistake

Anybody know a good trade supplier of assorted vermin poisons??

I guess I'd better stock up in time for the Christmas rush.

[Lee]

I find selling it in an engravable tin at this time of year draws some extra revenue from this valuable stock line.

['Onest Andy]

Tut tut Stephen.... no rat poison...

 

Although perhaps you may not realise quite what it is. We rename it and sell it as "Wife passifying powder" ... always a good seller at Xmas...

Not a stupid question in the first place Graham, Alot of the trade do Jewellery repairs nowadays, we do.

Brought myself a soldering iron a few months back, some silver solder & spend hours watching you tube, Last week I soldered the handle back on a silver cup so this is going to be a question more & more of us get asked.

 

 

Lee

[ANDY]

how much did it set you back Lee? how did it go? I've been thinking about getting one, as I get quite a few handle repair jobs that I have to send away.

 

 

back on topic. last week "do you sell neck ties"

[Dean]

We got asked today if we "regrip" badminton racquet handles

[Hugh-Candoit (ENG)]

How about a link to the youTube vid Lee,

I recovered many Racquet handles in the past, most were covered in skived leather so why should they not take them to a shoe repairer?

Nowadays though most large sports shops offer this service, along with re-stringing... now that's a service you could provide..."We String Difficult Customers Up, While -U-Wait"

[Dean]

Having rarely played badminton - I wasn't aware that a badminton racquet would ever need "re-gripping." however, I suppose that opens up an entirely new debate!

 

"Shuttlecocks worth hitting provide racquets worth re-gripping"

 

Has anyone else noticed that in this trade, punters treat you like the local tourist information bureau?!

where is this? where is that? where's the other?!

That info that you provide is worth a small fortune in PR terms, when you get known as the shop that has all the answers then you will be the first port of call for everything.
