Dear Jayanth, This suggestion has got nothing to do with the site, but I still beleive this is the right forum to put it. Can you start providing strings and other important accessories for the guitar ??? The Advantage is that we can get is that firstly as you are well experienced and have knowledge of genuine accessories we will not have to get cheated by those vendors who sell cheap and duplicate accessories. Strings, slides, capos... . The payment all of it can be made upfront, and even if you put in service charges or commission we would be glad to pay as at least there is the surety that we are getting genuine stuff. Waiting for your comments. Thanx, DHiM
I sure dont mind.. I have loads of stuff.. But dont you think that will commercialize the site. I dont mind giving out stuff now and then Like samples and stuff.. But not like a regular shop.. But if anyone wants anything from Anywher.. I will get them that.
Jayanth, What's wrong with commercialism??? Anyways I dont mind if you want to give things for free to IGTians. I need a pair of original GIBSON strings for the accoustic, some slides, and 1 capo. . Ithink this is enough for the first order please courier them that too express. Regards, DHiM
While you are at it, jayanth, how about providing me with a lifetime supply of free Ernie Ball strings? They are not available here... and remember, its extra slinky.
I SMELL SOMETHING FOR FREEEEE HEREE..... jay - i always knew , you were a good man , a good man with a good heart , hehe jokes apart , i think dhim has a point and it wud def be an added advtange of the site , if igt can cope with the system & the requetss ... rgds , b....
Thanks Bob for supporting me and my idea. My motive is clean and clear outlet for guitarists where genuine stuff is made available particularly for the newbies who usually learn or never learn by constant cheating of the vendors Regards, DHiM
np , dhim - ur welcome. shd really say , this ur avatar is something maaaen - am really obbssessed by the way it is shakinnnn , cool , really coooolll...................
To be frank I copied the avtaar from another popular guitar site, you too and anybody else can have it. I copied it because the expression it conveys looks honest, sincere and dedicated to guitar which is something similar with me when I am practising or jamming Regards, DHiM
Ok guys . I emant as Prizes t olittle contests etc.. But the problem with commercialization is that one has to Sit with the departments and look into each and every problem.. See Neo and Most of Us believe that thats not the way to go.. We cant sit all day take up orders, Pack it send it .. Then we would have to stock stuff.. @ Essi :- each Set costs 450.. For a lifetime i dont mind 2,000,000,000,000 Rs.. Including Shipping.. @ Dhim :- Specify the Slide and Capo make.. Will give you a quotation..
@ dhim - dun tell you look like this whilst playing guitar , nah u dont , do u , nah , ,......d....................,............ @ jay - on 2nd thought wont be a easy task to do , waz juss wondering how does igt cover up its expensess.
i ve not seen igt charging for anything from any of the members or selling anything to anyone so how does the money comes in - ????
Well it didnt used to but it does now, every two months we have to upgrade its hosting as we exceed the bandwidth allocated to us. IGT is getting very big very fast! The expenses are paid by me.
as far as the expenses are concerned , there has to be some basic expenses as developments , misc , salaries etc etc etc
neo - how do u intend to cover up the expenses in the futures as the site now growing like flames & all the best wishes to it .... soon you wud have more & more member getting into , how do u intend to do then , or still you will continue spending your money...
