Hi All

ScoobyShop is only a few days away now!

Make your suggestions here as to what products you would like to see.

best reagrds

Simon

 

As well as the already excellent range of clothing?

I assume the intention is to offer actual parts? Assuming this is the case I would like to see reasonably priced clear front/side indicators, spoilers and tyres.

 

key rings perhaps.. name badges

 

what exactly did you have in mind?

Scoobynet endorsed Wax Wizzard products sound nice

stickers would be good.

 

LOL

Chris.. great suggestions!

Yes, the idea is to offer a full range of products, not just ScoobyNet merchandise.

Octane Booster, Brake Pads, you name it.

in fact... You Name It!! LOL

 

Range of brake pads, discs, brake fluid, braided lines, air filters, oil filters, interior bits 'n' bobs, I could go on ........

 

You could offer personalised stationary, T shirts etc. Get a picture send in and transfer it onto a T shirt, boxer shorts etc etc.

Also Once a year compose a video of the best of the years track action. Or maybe a video of SDB's top driving tips as done in a muppet proof fashion.

I'd buy that for a dollar

 

headlights cheaper than the £175 + VAT dealers want!!

How about discounted wetter the better/other driving courses?

Greg

 

insurance?

Flamesuit on, car leaving premises at high speed, heading for the batcave

seriously though. Nametags would be good. Would feel right at home at a trackday if I was wearing a nametag walking aboot and others were wearing them as well.

 

If you can do it cheaper, sell it Simon!!!!!

A few recomendations

interior trim and guage pods

guage's, alloy pedal sets, carmats etc

brake pad's and disc's

exhaust's

Airfilter's

suspenion

wheels

Twin headlights, bulbs and spotlights

No.plates

front and rear spoilers

grills

Scoobynet grille badge!

Carcare/Wax kits

ICE

driving course's

mousemats

wallpaper! lol

 

Boxer shorts were mentioned - you could have them printed with 'Power and Performance Guaranteed!'

I'll get my coat.....

P.

 

I think everything sensible has been covered (Sith excluded ). How about stocking up on some of the Scooby Doo stuff they have down at the Warner Bros store - would they let you stock it?

Markus...

Off the shelf insurance policies...good idea...NOT!...R U trying to put me out of business!!!...I know Boots and M&S and Sainsburys sell insurance policies off the shelf...but there's not need to swear at me and suggest that Scoobynet does the same...

Good job you went to get the flame suit!...

Not a bad idea tho for certain types of insurance Simon...we could possibly set up a Travel or Personal Accident scheme...Legal Expenses...alsorts...

maybe drop me a mail Simon we might be able to work something out

Tom

 

maybe you could just set up a 'group buy' section as seen frequently on the US BBS ?

- being able to predict what people want, and carrying stock of things that may not sell is a bit tricky - however, it would be nice if some of the things that are unreasonably expensive in the UK were available from a source that was less profit orientated...

especially the things that 'scooby' likes to consume in double quick time - like tyres, brake discs and pads, octane booster etc.

not sure you could 'post' the latter in the mail though.


buying stock of more popular items from the current sti parts catalogue would be nice, as these items are both hard to source and prohibitively expensive - (one reason why the list of alternative parts-suppliers for the impreza is burgeoning in the UK).

cheers,
Paul W

 

What about the ability to suggest a co-buy sort of scenario. You could than approach companies like Philips (bulbs) and ask them for preferential rates when buying (say) 100 H4 lamps.....
Steal a bit of the Letsbuyit thunder for the benefit of the Scooby community
KF.

 

Somebody on this board bought an AP Racing 4-pot kit from letsbuyit.com. Wouldn't it be good if we could get group buys for the more expensive items (e.g. 10% off 1500 quid is worth having...)?

How about selling kit 'Scoobynet approved/recommended', e.g. 'Simon Sez these Toyo T1-Ss are great when going sideways -- buy here for only 300 quid a set'. It might be useful as a replacement for the search tool, so instead of seeing which brake discs others have had good/bad results with, I can just buy the Scoobynet recommended ones. Of course, this relies on an enormous amount of trust (and are there any legal ramifications if said discs crack after 3000 miles?)

 

Does this mean you'll be catering for all scoobs and not just Impreaza's?????

Legacy bits would be good.....

 

Castrol RS 10W/60, but in a 4.5 Litre quantities instead of 4 litre please

Like all the other suggestions.

Gary

 

Personally, I would have thought that anything that is a bit of a pain to find for some people would be good. Certain types of brake pads, octane booster, clear indicator lenses etc.

The mouse mat thing is quite a good idea. A friend of mine used to know a good company, but they closed down. So if anyone knows a good mouse mat company could they let me know.

Top priority for me would be some more cream, as the itching's started again.

Josh,

Have a chat with Mike Monk on 01273 222901. His clients are people like Psion and Shell.

He does all sorts of mousemats & keyrings including those quirky mousemats filled with gel.

Website is

 

Sabelt 4 point racing harnesses of course!
Well, I need 1 or 2 anyway.
Chuck

 

If you want personalised stuff, then grab a suitable image (Without infringing copyright obviously ) and visit

 

Quite often there are reasonable cost savings to be made from importing goods. As a private buyer the cost of postage/delivery offsets some of this. Maybe is Scoobyshop could make this cost effective somehow, it would open up the door to a wider range of products being available.

An example being that OZ sell the 17" anthracite from the P1 in the US.

Just an idea.

James

 

Mugs - Mousemats - Keyrings - all the usual sort of promotional b/s but done with quality gear

How about a free sweatshirt for posting of the month???

 

Puff The Magic Wagon! had some good ideas there, mouse mats especially, since thats where Scoobynet is orientated- around using computers and the net to form a community.
Another thought on this- why didn't you opt to include the scoobynet address,

 

What about some Muppet branded items

Flame suit on

James

 

i think clubbing together to place large orders and hopefully getting large discounts is a great idea, are there any suppliers out there willing to offer discounts????

 

If you sell brakes, maybe some info on the pad types to enlighted buyers such as improvement over standard, amount of dust they generate, good for track, when used with xyz discs make a good upgrade using standard calipers etc.

Might save people asking the same questions all the time.

thanks

S

 

If u r willing to sell anything, wot about COSWORTH parts???? They dont break that often, so you would'nt have to keep much stock.

Seriously though, keep up the good work m8.

Shaun.

 

As a retail / mail order supplier we are always keen to be involved with club initiatives. If a club were to approach us with the principal of combined purchasing then i am sure a suitable discount on any usual sellling price can be arranged. We have already tried to implement one or two special offers towards the Scoobynet over recent weeks (Eibach , twin lamp kits , clear indicators etc.) but it is difficult to justify a large discount and stock when maybe 1 person will take on board the offer. We recently struck a deal with some of the GTiR club guys for 10 Mongoose exhausts and saved them £70.00 each. Deals of this nature are posible on a whole host of items as long as the numbers are suitably high enough and the orders are genuine (people pulling out at the last always mess things up!!).
By all means contact us if this is of use to anyone. We specialise mainly in exhasuts , brakes, suspension , springs, lights, wheels, air filters etc at present but the range is growing so other items can be introduced. in the mean time we will endeavour to continue our special offers for Scoobynet if the ideas above do not come off

cheers
