Dirty Dozen Discount Specialty Store

The Dirty Dozens Discount Specialty Store
(A.K.A. Rob Depot or Rob - Mart)

Well all, after a few days of planning and after taking into consideration advice from various people, I have finally opened my store. My store is only open to people I have on my FL and added as guests. This is to avoid any resellers taking advantage of the low prices. Basically here's the mission statement in short:

Dirty Dozens Discount Specialty Store sole purpose is to be a low cost supplier for all types of crafters, tailors, and furniture makers. All items for sale in the shop have prices below market value (usually between 3 - 5% below if not more depending on item). One of the objectives of this shop is to bring prices for crafted items down some by providing crafters with low prices. Additionally, it is here to help build a business foundation on CND by bringing crafters and such to check out this wonderful place.

I am not a greedy person as some of you may know and I am not interested in making money in this game because as most of you already know from day two in PE, this game is not for making money but for having fun and making friends. These reasons are why I have created this shop, not out of greed, but out of fun and enjoyment. I will try to keep this store as stocked as possible and I have the help from some society members and other players in the game, however, if there is anyone out there that is willing to help me keep my store in stock and put the resellers out of business please feel free to PM me and we can set up some sort of an arrangement. Regular suppliers that are willing to sell at my rates will be provided with gifts from time to time in order to help their efforts of mining or hunting (i.e. amps, bombs, ammo, etc.) and as a way of saying thank you for helping me keep my store stocked.

Every week, I will post all the items I have in stock along with the rates I am charging for that week. Every Monday a new post will be made stating the new % but those rates will always, no matter what, be below current market rates.

The items are split down into chunks of approximately 50PED so all crafters, poor and rich, can afford to purchase them. There is also a shopkeeper inside which holds all materials that are not high in quantity or value so as not to incur high rates due to taxes.

If you would like to be added to the guest list to enjoy these discounted benefits, please PM me so we can arrange a meeting so I can determine whether or not you are a reseller. It is not meant to offend anyone but just a precautinary measure so resellers don't take advantage of the situation.

Directions for Shop:

First of all you must hitch a ride to CND (via Zhorgul, Jessie a-Star, etc.)

Once reaching CND, you must take a teleport to Main Complex North and from there head south out to the arena. My shop is located on the right side of the arena in business district 6.

From there you will see the front of the store. Enter and enjoy but please leave enough for everyone :wise:

After shopping at my place you can walk just across the hall to visit Lady Wolfs Clothing Store

Hope you enjoy it.

Rob has my complete backing here, and I even recieved my first gift! (Thanks Rob!)

As several other shopkeepers here know, I had similar ideas, but couldn't make them quite happen financially. Robs vision is very much in line with mine (there IS a place for wholesalers in this game) and will continue to do business with him for the forseeable future.

Good luck in your venture Rob. I think it's a clever idea to have limited access to prevent reselling.

If I run into you I'll see what ores and enmatters I can part with for your prices.

I just sold all my ores, enmatters, and tailoring material to Rob for his shop at the low prices to see the venture get started as well.

Good luck Rob, you have the dedication to make this work if anyone can.

Rob this is an awsome concept. Nice work!
As a budding crafter I thank you very much for your efforts to eliminate the reseller factor.
It's great to see people like you looking out for this amazing community. (+ rep big time)
You already know you have my support.
Good luck with this innovative venture.

[Stoffer]

This is great.

It's potentially devastating to my shop (also aims to supply crafters), but I can't do anything but to applaud this initiative.

I have decided to restructure my business, and therefore not post any threat to Rob's business - but truth be told it's rather I that is scared of him...

I announce that I will sell all my crafting resources to Rob (if he accepts) at rates and terms that reflect the purpose of his shop.

What my shop will be selling in the future is yet to be decided.

Congrats, Rob, and welcome to the community

[Rob]

Thank you all who have thus far supported me in my endeavors and thank you to all that support me in the future. I am actually suprised and delighted for such a overwhelming support from the community not only on Calypso but up at CND too. Thank you everyone and I hope to be able to help you all out and service your needs.

Hi Rob !

and welcome @ CND.
I bet some crafters will find the stuff they need inside your shop for shure.

I myself have Shop #45 @ CND District 15 and I do only specialized in Plants, Flowers, Candles, Pedestrals, Vases and Paintings.

So call it the specialized Florist/Gardening Shop @ CND

if you look for something special let me know, maybe I can help in a way.

Have a nice and funny time up here.... and remember .... we all do our specialized shop and try to help others if we can

so no price dumping or rivalry between us.

Have a nice time and feel welcome Mate


yours Sonne
