forum shop?


mistergrumpy - 22/11/07 at 09:51 PM

Ah you as well eh. Click Locostbuilders ^ up there^ and its in the navigation box. There's a few decent things in there.


blakep82 - 22/11/07 at 09:57 PM

IT SAYS SHOP!

actually, i saw that last week, clicked on it, it didn't work so i forgot about it...


Hellfire - 22/11/07 at 10:15 PM

There are only two ways (that I know of) to get access to the shop.

1 - Achieve a post count of 1,500 or more
2 - By special invitation

You need to get posting more. Or if you're lucky, you might get a special invitation to become a customer

Oops sorry. Just been informed it's actually 2,500 posts that are required before you get the automatic pop-up inviting you to become a customer............

...Must be a 'closed shop'....!!!!

DarrenW - 23/11/07 at 10:49 AM

I thought everyone knew about it. Ive had some real bargains from there. Ive had 2 invites now. Think i still have a spare one on email. Does anyone want it? Ill need to check its transferable first though.


mistergrumpy - 23/11/07 at 11:33 AM

No I don't think they are transferrable mate. I got mine a long time ago from Joel I think.


bob - 23/11/07 at 12:42 PM

Its 10% off everything day tomorow

But you can only get an invite if you have skype..... i think a well known invisible parts supplier is using the same system after not paying the phone bill LOL

Anyway

If its the same shop i was at earlier this year then its a barn and they have an unfinished luego viento in there

Might even be for sale


Marcus - 23/11/07 at 12:52 PM

I'm a supplier to the above shop, and I can honestly say I've had very few enquiries for my services. I'm thinking of withdrawing my parts.
BTW that part on page 3 isn't one of mine - although I wish it was!!


JoelP - 23/11/07 at 07:54 PM

i should have another open invite coming up soon if anyone wants one? Theres a lot of crap and memorabilia in there but some real bargains!


blakep82 - 23/11/07 at 07:57 PM

all lies i reckon!


dnmalc - 23/11/07 at 08:52 PM

I had this naive idea that shops needed customers


mistergrumpy - 23/11/07 at 09:03 PM

I thought that too until I dealt with some of the kit car manufacturers who positively drive customers away

Can't be the case, they would let you in otherwise. Just think of all the money you save by not being able to shop


JoelP - 23/11/07 at 10:37 PM

less a shop and more a masonic style affair


repper - 25/11/07 at 06:26 PM

so i need more posts then lol

cjtheman - 25/11/07 at 08:05 PM

Invites are quite difficult to come by as customer numbers are limited. Unlike most shops, the Locostbuilders shop isn't about making large profits. I did hear that Joelp had an invite coming through soon though, so it might be worth contacting him...

Phil


bob - 25/11/07 at 10:51 PM

I was too busy to attend the 10% off day, should have really give my ticket to someone else but hey we have all seen chris's unfinished viento before.

I'm sure i'llget another invite


DarrenW - 26/11/07 at 10:10 AM

Some of the items were more than 10% as well. bit of a end of year sale. I managed to get a 100L vertical tank compressor for £110 delivered. 14cfm as well which should drive most of my tools. Hope its OK when it arrives.


Yeah - i actually got my personal invite before 2500 posts but i think that was mainly as i havent upset anyone.

Gold, Jerry, Gold!!


dnmalc - 28/11/07 at 05:53 AM

Having re read the thread and seen the type of customers who are allowed in I think that perhaps it is more of an honour not to be a member..........only kidding!



But hey it does push the score up at this rate in 10 years I may be allowed in to buy a nut

As with most secret societies you never know until you get in. I have to admit ive not had that many car related bits from it but the Scottish Malt that was on offer last December was magnificent.


ned - 28/11/07 at 12:22 PM

Bob,

There were some good offers going on the 10% day, you missed some bargains there.
Still awaiting delivery though myself, will let you know if it's any good as still might be worth getting one yourself anyway.

cheers,

Ned.

wow that sounds like a great deal, did you get the compressor? if not then that's not a very good deal!

i've been on the look out for a good comp
