    Maybe I would be better selling on Line, do you think Done Deal or somewhere like that would be any good?

    You could try. Check to see what others are selling for to get an idea of what you might be able to sell for.

    I think if you got €15 you might be doing okay.
    Dvd's like cd's are becoming a thing of the past.

    If you go on the CEX website, they give the prices they buy DVDs for. Unless you have boxsets, you're look less than a euro for a DVD.

    The florist in Manor shopping centre is the latest to go. Pity as its a nice addition. I assume the guy selling the phone covers will be the next to go! What about the sky tv guy?

    Seems to be a pop-up kebab house as it just has one of those bright cardboard signs nailed over the door... Passion Kebab I think

    There's a new shop selling pukka tea and coffee open on Edward Street where the Italian cafe used to be. Probably will be some competition for Amaretto although Edward St is a poor location.

    Went to see the Delorentos in the Square last night. Very good band but a really poor crowd in fairness - probably no more than 300. Free concert with a well known band and they couldn't even get a crowd!!

    I would have gone but wrecked tired, what with being 9 months pregnant! I know a few who went & all we're saying how small crowd was. It wasn't well enough advertised by all accounts.

    It was pretty badly adverstised which seems to be quite common with such events, I'm a big fan of Delorentos and I only heard of it at around 9pm last night so couldn't make it, I follow Delorentos on Facebook but their post about the event never appeared on my fecking timeline.

    I disagree it was well advertised . There are huge billboards all around town, it got mentioned on radio and Facebook...I think apathy is the main culprit here.
    I went down at 7pm to see the medievalsl reenactment, and it was well staged and bloody brilliant! A credit to all who took part....but approx 200 people showed up ...
    We cant have it all ways, we cant complain about Killarney this, and Killarney that, and we have something good on our doorstep and just ignore it.......and breathe! :)

    Here here!!!

    Yes I do think it was adequately advertised.... Radio, social media, press, Bill boards in town, postal flyer drops etc etc bar actually knocking on doors there isn't a whole pile more that could have been done!!!

    They started putting the billboards up in the mall & Denny street Friday afternoon when I was in town! Bit on the late side! I saw no posters up anywhere, apart from a few leaflets in Costa. I had hear about it as I saw it here & Facebook, but a lot of people who are facebook users & live locally said they heard very last minute about it. Obviously not everyone will hear about it, and there's only so much advertising you can do.

    My business got 1 leaflet of the event through the the post, but none dropped in for customers nor any posters.

    It was posted in this very thread a week ago, billboards went up outside the aib bank last Tues. It was well advertised , people just didn't notice or care.
    The schools knew about it for weeks as they had a competition for crafts etc and Presentation and Moyderwell won and were presented with their medals on Friday.... it's all over Tralee.ie and the county museums page,
    Do people have to be led by the hand?
    It's still on today if anybody is up and around

    Believe me there was no bill boards up outside AIB since last Tuesday. I was at the bank everyday last week & it was Friday I witnessed them putting it up outside the door!

    Typical with the weather. I thought it was mint to be nice this weekend too!

    I ended up not being able to go to anything this weekend. Hospital last night overnight & now at home with bed rest. Oh well! thankfully everything ok, just being cautious! If weather was nice I'd be going mad!

    Try some of the supermarkets in the morning, they would have plenty.
