If you were gonna buy a bike vid, apart from Duke and M+P where would you go to? -- Veggie Dave UKRMHRC#2 BOTAFOF#08 IQ 18 FILMS http://www.iq18films.com Extreme Racing http://www.veggie-dave.co.uk Toxic Shock Syndrome Gets More Girls Than Me
IQ 18, natch. Having said that, I probably catch your drift - I use Blackstar (now known as sendit.com) and Play.com mainly - you might consider ebay as an outlet too. Best of luck, mate.
Amazon WH Smiths HMV Virgin I don't think you should have to go somewhere special to buy stuff like that.
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Ben said: Because it's a good idea IMO. I only ever go into accessory shops when I have a bit of spare disposable income so might buy a vid at the same time. Nope.
Now that's a fuckin' *great* idea! -- Veggie Dave UKRMHRC#2 BOTAFOF#08 IQ 18 FILMS http://www.iq18films.com Extreme Racing http://www.veggie-dave.co.uk Toxic Shock Syndrome Gets More Girls Than Me
No worse than bike vid producers who've no idea where to buy 'em either... -- Veggie Dave UKRMHRC#2 BOTAFOF#08 IQ 18 FILMS http://www.iq18films.com Extreme Racing http://www.veggie-dave.co.uk Toxic Shock Syndrome Gets More Girls Than Me
While it would be luverly for companies that big to stock our stuff, we'd have to pay them to stick our vids on their shelves as they work in exactly the same way as supermarkets operate -- Veggie Dave UKRMHRC#2 BOTAFOF#08 IQ 18 FILMS http://www.iq18films.com Extreme Racing http://www.veggie-dave.co.uk Toxic Shock Syndrome Gets More Girls Than Me
I'll look into their T+C. Cheers Is it just me, or does Ebay smack of cheap shit that no one wants [1], sold by people who shouldn't really be trusted to people too thick to realise they're getting screwed? [1] Yes, I know... -- Veggie Dave UKRMHRC#2 BOTAFOF#08 IQ 18 FILMS http://www.iq18films.com Extreme Racing http://www.veggie-dave.co.uk Toxic Shock Syndrome Gets More Girls Than Me
Shame. I take it you're after an outlet that is 'real' rather than virtual? As others have said, bike accessory shops, and Halford as well. But they're the last place people think of when they want a dvd. Maybe just go round every bike shop in the country and offer them on sale-or-return?
What about petrol stations - they often have CDs and stuff on display right where you queue up to pay for that impulse buy [1]. Just an idea, like.

I've seen bike videos on sale in accessory shops. In a rack next to the till, usually. Easy way to try - get hold of a few racks, customise them, stack 'em up with product and hawk 'em round shops, effectively renting the floorspace or doing a deal with the proprietor on sales. Perhaps.
Ben wrote It is called sell-through. You place the vids wholesale in outlets with a connection and let them do the actual retailing. The trick with that one is to sell the idea to the shops first.
There's a huge range of gear. Yes, there's shitloads of tat that nobody in their right mind would buy, but the world is full of fucknuggets that do pay for it. There's plenty of decent kit too - I bought my hi-fi/cinema amps from ebay, for example. I've also bought a number of tapes/CDs/DVDs from ebay, ranging in price from 99p to 15 quid and in condition from obviously used to brand new. There are many big retailers (not high street retailers, no) that sell on ebay and seem to make a living from it. Set your initail bid price at your cost plus margin and away you go ...
Up to a point, Lord Copper. There's quite a few small scale businesses that use Ebay as a distribution channel. My ex-girlfriend used to sell lots of her stuff through ebay - she re-listed stuff on a rolling 7 day auction, with a "buy it now" price and a high reserve.
