Cutting Back on Electronics

gatorbyte — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 03:36:14 +0000

Over the last couple months I haven’t been buying much in the way of electronics. Stereos, speakers, TVs, that sort of thing. I’ve still been buying things like MP3 players, game systems and computer stuff. For the amount of space the bigger items take up, compared to how long it takes to [...]

Ready for Earl

gatorbyte — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 03:21:52 +0000

Stupid hurricanes! As if I’m not busy enough already I had to spend the morning taking down the trampoline, removing the slide from it’s platform, bringing in the bug zapper, taking down the mosquito net from around the deck and bringing in the furniture and patio furniture covers. So now we’re all ready [...]

The Basement is Usable!

gatorbyte — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:54:29 +0000

I’ve had some help over the last couple weeks with cleaning out the basement here. You can actually move from one end to the other without having to squeeze through narrow gaps! Managed to throw out a lot of garbage, took 2 loads of scrap metal to the scrap metal guys and brought [...]

A Warranty Isn’t What it Used to Be

gatorbyte — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 03:29:59 +0000

Many years ago when I started this business pretty much everything I sold had a warranty of 1 year or better. Nearly all those items could be returned to my distributor for repair/replacement. During the last few years though there’s been quite a shift in the way a warranty is handled, most items [...]

What Would I Do with Triple the Space?

gatorbyte — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:48:27 +0000

Just for shits and giggles I called up the leasing agent for the old Movie Gallery location, wondering how much the rent is there. I knew it was going to be high but it never hurts to ask. The space is much bigger, 3600 sq. ft. compared to the 1200 sq. ft. we’re [...]

Basement Sale soon?

gatorbyte — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 01:40:02 +0000

What do you think? I’ve got stuff cluttering up the basement and every once in a while I bring some of it up to put for sale, when I can find room for it. But I was thinking the other day, I should just straighten out the basement a little, make it so [...]

Smell From Harbour

gatorbyte — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:34:53 +0000

If you are in our store and find that the store smells fishy – that’s because of the ocean and the tide going out. For some reason it was worst on Saturday – during Shark Scramble – no one complained but mannn!! we wanted to puke – luckily by closing the door and spraying some [...]

Review Of First Tournament – Magic

gatorbyte — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 22:31:45 +0000

So how did it go? pretty awesome – we had like 12 people that showed up – including myself and some friends who hung around. Some came by but didn’t join in the game. We started at about 5.15pm and ended close to 9pm. Everyone went home pretty happy i would like to think – [...]
