The shop customer numbers have been limited, so no matter how many posts you make, you'll not get in unless someone leaves.

You don't need a high post count to get into the shop (although it helps) what you do need is to know the right people

If you meet this criteria then contact Darren for a catalogue or ask Mr Henderson for a lone of his copy

I was just thinking the same thing myself.....  It's a pity the shop can't be opened up to all Locostbuilders members. Having said
that, it would get a bit cramped in there if it was and the bargains would probably be snapped up by unscrupulous members wishing to make a few quid
on e-bay.

Isn't it 4000 posts these days?
I'm just grateful for the opportunity, I'm sure that I couldn't get half the stuff any where else and as for the prices, wow!!!
I like the personal shopper scheme too.
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Phil...the logistics of letting everyone in is just a nightmare..... and you are right, some of the stuff did end up on flea-bay..... so hence the
shop link on the front page being disabled, and instead, invites being sent, it was either that or scrub it entirely..... ...and we can't do
that, can we?
chrisg, glad you like the shops format!

The other way of getting in is through the 'Secret Shopper' operation. The really good thing about this is the rest of you who are
shopping in there don't even know or realise that I am about when I am in there.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
