Am i gonna get done for some excise duty i wonder . Anyone know what the craic is with it ?

...Also picked up the key chain with the non-alcoholic beer cap remover...

Non-alcoholic beer cap remover? Aw, I bet it'd work just fine on real beer bottles as well!

Well.... I wouldn't know anything about that

[georgecat]

It might break if you try it on anything else but beer.

Oh... is it a can opener? I thought it was just a key ring.

I've done business with Cinder Block before, and they tend to throw in "extras" on larger orders. I ordered two Flogging Molly shirts one time, and they threw in a Cinder Block t-shirt and a FM sticker for free. So some of you big spenders might get loads of other stuff.

Thank you, the only thing I hadn't done was No 5. I've done that now, I will try it again tomorrow and see what happens. I'm feeling lazy today.

Wow
Sounds great

I got a T for £25 at brum gig.

I see T's on there for $16 I'm more than happy to pay that for them, sooner they go in stock the better! Do they deliver here? oh I do hope so!

i hope you didn't pay 25 british pounds for a tshirt, since they were $25 at the US shows, and our economy sucks!
£25 comes out to $43

[pxmose]

I spent about $80 on merch at the shows and can't say it doesn't suck to see how much cheaper things are on here. But I'll venture a guess that the Nokia (and other theaters) demanded a percentage of the merch sales, so they jacked up the prices to make up for it....

I have no problem paying a bit more, but the poster I paid $30 for was to be "limited edition" and now it is $8? I have no problem people getting paid, particularly the band but F paying a what, 375% markup?

Sorry, but I do have a bit of an issue with that, considering the fact that I paid $50 for a ticket, bought a couple of drinks, albeit non alcoholic ones, etc., etc.

[dublinrambler]

i can understand why you may be pissed off, HOWEVER you paid what you thought they were worth, you did'nt HAVE to buy whatever you did...you chose to. Again though it is a kick in the balls as i got a poster too that are now going on the cheap. At least they're all available though! Buy 'em up before they're all gone and on e-bay

The poster for sale at $8 is not the ltd edition poster sold st the gig, it is a completly different poster on sale throughout the tour i suspect
The ltd edition i got at the nokia was i think only $20 and the other i think was less, anyway the ltd edition is not for sale online now

Buy 'em up before they're all gone and on e-bay

Right you are Dublin, I DID buy them and did not HAVE to. No argument there. But when I find out that the people who WILL sell them on ebay can make a profit on them b/c their prices were that much lower than mine, it is annoying. Of all people, why should THEY benefit? I had a guy I don't know buy me a shirt in NY b/c I neglected to buy one in DC, and he is trusting me to pay him, which of course I will. THAT is the kind of honest goodwill that I am talking about. A guy sold me my tix at face. NOT a scalper.

If anything, the prices should be the same. I did buy them, at prices I knew were too high because I respect the band and the opportunity to put some hard earned cash in their pockets. No issues. But it just does not seem right. I mean I asked here on this board about bootlegs, just for my enjoyment, not for profit and got a tongue lashing that I shouldn't even talk about that b/c it is done without the band benefitting, etc.

So then why is it that I, a true fan, should buy goods which are then sold 2 weeks later for a fraction of the cost? it just doesn't seem right.

Now, having said all that, if they tour again, and I see something I like, then I will buy it again. I love the Pogues, and I like their music and their fans. But I am just arguing that somehow it does not seem right, that's all.

Hear, hear, pxmose. I agree. Eric V bought and posted to Oz a shirt for me (safe home, sir) on good faith alone. I'll walk through Hell to pay him back for that. AND he had a dram for me @ the gigs. THAT'S cameraderie.

When DzM designed the now-famous Incendiary Medusan T-shirt Mark 1, some of us snapped 'em up. I got six. I've now sold or given them to people at a price where I make nothing. In some cases I lose money on the postage. But this place is full of family. Now only 15 of these things were made, which makes them kinda collectable by definition; I thought about Ebay - for two seconds, and thought "No, phuque them. I want Medusans to have these."

Sounds like someone made an ALMIGHTY markup at the gigs. And somehow I doubt 'twas the band. More likely some fecking middle-management yuppie somewhere.

Are you sure it's really the same poster? There were 2 on sale in NY. The small one they're selling for $8 was on offer there for $10. I was quoted at least $35, maybe more, for the other one. I remember being surprised b/c the price I was quoted was more than what someone else had posted paying for it for at another show. If you got the $10 one (now $8 plus postage and handlling) for $30, maybe it was the person behind the counter who ripped you off.
