TheOutsider

Ive done a fair few transactions with germans on ebay, and i can say that alot of them do not use paypal for ebay transactions. The cheapest thing to do is ... go to the bank and ask for a relay payment it costs ?10, you need an iban and swift code, normally the seller will easily provide this to you.

A good book to read is Post Secret ' A lifetime of Secrets' by Frank Warren It is a book full with secrets that have been sent to Frank who collates them, it is really interesting to know the thoughts that go on in peoples minds. Every Sunday I visit the website to see new secrets published... its an enjoyable read... def recomended Here is the link - have a look... http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

Thanks for the info Jah Lush I did have that impression of East Dulwich, because there is not that much volume of customers most the shops try to make a large mark up just to stay in profit. I'm watching the space around ED ready to make the move? does anyone else think a casual menswear shop would work in ED?

As someone who has been watching this forum for the last few weeks, I've chosen to join now. I visited East Dulwich for the first time a couple of months ago, and I can say it is a unique town - But one thing that seems to have a lasting presence on my mind is the extortionate prices in the clothes shops. I visited a few shops on LL and one on Northcross Street, and the same clothes that are sold for ?15 in the midlands (where I am from) are being sold for ?45+, its crazy As my family own a retail mens clothing business , im tempted to investigate whether it would be worth opening up around the Dulwich area, but I need an insight from the people of east Dulwich. Could East Dulwich do with a casual men's shop thats not ludricously priced? We sell trendy mens jeans similar to that River Island for around ?20. Smart Hoodies, ( the multi colour stripes etc) the type you would lounge around in for around ?15 Would this work, I'd love to hear your thoughts on a possible mens shop in East Dulwich
