Easter
Bank Holiday We want to wish all of you a very pleasant bank holiday whatever you celebrate. We will not be open Good Friday or Easter Sunday or Easter Monday, however you might catch Noreen or myself toiling away on Saturday morning for urgent enquiries. Reservations and orders made during this time are on a first come first served basis. Whatever you do this weekend, I hope it's a happy and prosperous time for you all! ==========================================
Mad
March Sale
Don't forget the Mad March Sale is still on until the 30th April 2009. The discounts are from 5 - 41% off original prices and many are now less than wholesale to clear. We have been searching out new suppliers and are in discussions to supply you with exciting new designs for the coming year. The sale will help us clear the decks for new stock. ================================ Make us an
OfferTo help us clear the stock you are invited to Make us an Offer on any of our Mad March Sale stock. To Make us an Offer, simply use the Reserve button (found on each product page) or e-mail with a link to the item and your offer price. This is a great way to secure goods to hold for your own sales as many of our sales items are now low in stock. We promise that all reasonable offers will be considered but please don't be offended if you are turned down or we offer a haggle. Some of you have been enjoying this feature already! This offer is only open to stock included in the Mad March Sale, we will not hold a price for auctions or websites on the off chance it may sell but you can haggle if you have sold an item. In other words if your offer is accepted you will receive a request for payment. This will be operated on a first come first served basis. ======================================= Sold Out The Blue Topaz Bracelets are now Sold Out and sadly this popular bracelet has been discontinued. The STS 20" Men's Curb Chains are also currently out of stock, we have more of these on order and hope to be restocked after the Easter Holiday. ========================================
Hotlinking On a less pleasant note, some of you noticed that our web site has struggled with bandwidth problems at the end of each month since the beginning of the year. We've now moved the site to new hosting with larger bandwidth but we also found a number of our images were being hotlinked around the web. Hotlinking is where an image URL is used to make an image from one site appear on another site and it puts a great deal of strain on the host website's resources. While most of you have used this responsibly, unfortunately a number of images were effectively stolen by non-members and the site struggled to cope. The only reasonable way we can keep it fair for everyone is to prevent everyone from using a hotlink. We wanted to let all of you know first so you can use our image file download to use our images before we put a stop to all hotlinking. We will have this done by the last week of April giving you plenty of time to change the way you list your products and use our images. ==================================== Dormant MembershipsAs we offer a free service it's unsurprising that a number of members sign in once and never return. We are now looking at removing dormant members from our database. All those of you who have not signed in for 3 months or more and want to retain your membership, please sign in or reapply for membership when you are ready to use our service. ==================================== Don't forget to use the reserve button if
you are selling on auction to ensure stock is available for you and your
customers!
Happy Selling! |
