The big Oakes sale ended this weekend just past, yet nobody posted or said anything - probably out of fear for what posts would follow. I do hope that Ian Allan bargain posts (and others) don't go the same way because this thread is steadily losing purpose. 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yelrow Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 it would help those who cannot get to the the shop, if Ian Allen could be persuaded to sell these bargains on line. That way nobody would mind seeing what was on offer, as we would all be able to join in. Its a tad far from birmingham, to the middle of france and back. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main purpose of bargains such as these is to pull more punters into the shop and sell them some other full price items at the same time. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But worth bearing in mind most people in Britain can be in Birmingham in an hour or two. It's not like we are talking about a shop in the middle of nowhere.

It's not like we are talking about a shop in the middle of nowhere. Jason Two things to consider; 1) For most people Birmingham isn't an hour or two away. Most in Britain will have a journey of more than two hours, not less. I'm in the north east, it would take me well over 2 hours to drive there. Trains might get from London to Birmingham in under 2 hours, but you still have to get to the station first. 2) The time and cost of a three or four hour round trip is likely to wipe a significant amount, if not all, of any savings you'll make when you get there. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is certainly the case unless you get a "bargain" train fare as well At least the shop, should any outsider wish to visit, is close to New St Station (Stephenson St. entrance) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Red Fox Posted March 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) DCC Supplies have reduced the price of their OO Gauge Limited Edition Dapol Chiltern Railways green 121, 121034, from £140.50 to £89.00 https://www.dccsupplies.com/item-s-121034/class-121-oo-no-121034.htm Sadly it doesn't seem to have sold very well as it was released in December 2017 as a Limited Edition of 300 and they still have 253 in stock at time of posting. It is a lovely model with plenty of attention to detail in the livery. I bought one when they first came out and it included a sprue of painted etched brass plates to attach at the bottom of the doors to represent the door locks Chiltern added but they don't mention this on the website so who knows if it still comes with this Edited March 25, 2019 by Red Fox Added scale of model 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a lot of it about today for some reason. I think Government statistics said something like forty million people live within two hours of Birmingham, that's well more than half the population. Two hours travelling is classed as a commute. But sod 'em. I'll buy the bargains instead. Train from Liverpool. Day out in Brum. And I'll still be up on the bargains.

steve45 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 As an ex-Brummie who escaped to the south coast 28 years ago I can vouch that there are very few advantages to living in Birmingham, so a few bargains are really little recompense to having to endure it.

RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted March 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2019 Anyway trying to get back on topic are there any bargains out there other than that place that shall not be mentioned in Birmingham? I won't be adding anymore updates regarding bargains from that place that shall not be mentioned in Birmingham in future as it only stirs the Hornets nest everytime then we all throw our toys out of the pram because you don't want to come to that place that shall not be mentioned in Birmingham for a bargain.

Cheers Colin I wouldn't throw my "toys" out of the pram, they're too expensive (Bargain Table or no) to replace! As for the B-Word bargains, I'm not really worried that they get posted, some lucky devil within striking distance will be able to take advantage of them, its just that they become a fingernail across the blackboard of my soul when there's a particularly unattainable offering.... Anything I post is then merely a cry of anguish! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
