Not learnt how to drive it yet, paid bloody £1600 in berthing fees so far and only sat in it twice (2 sundays in a row) drinking a couple of cans whilst eating pizza, I can feel like a sailor without undoing the rope :)

Cheers lloydebtm - enjoy your break - are you taking the new boat??

[dixi] 24/9/2008 15:45

And how we would feel if EBTM did likewise!!

[dixi] 24/9/2008 14:36

New products were introduced just recently. Not saying that makes a difference though!

[thfc 1] 24/9/2008 14:22

its no wonder the share price is in freefall, how as an investor can you feel confident, the site has for weeks on end been clearing out old stock at a fraction of the old price then offering further 20% discounts on top, there is no new product. to be honest it looks like the e-commerce equivilant of a B&M closing down sale, no words of reassuarance WHAT IS GOING ON as investors surely we should be informed a little better, the only reason i aint selling is whats the point now at 1.6

this should be 10p but we are at the lowest ever - the last trade of 21,000 shares was worth £370 - Lloyd any info appreciated.

Wonder how this went??

[dixi] 23/9/2008 16:45

Just one look at the dire markets makes it futile to call this company specific.

Last results were June just gone and before that October 07 - so who knows!!

[niggle] 23/9/2008 16:41

There is no doubt in my mind that internet sales are booming, ours are going through the roof, so if there is a problem it may be brand related. When are the results out?

[granny7] 23/9/2008 16:17

Should be an interesting bounce from these levels, should the results prove too be good.

[dixi] 23/9/2008 15:19

Well if it is sentiment it's the opposite to that which is keeping ASC on a high. Simply no idea how EBTM are faring.

How's business for you LLOYDEBTM - are you ordering stock regularly from EBTM or is it down this year. I know this seems nosey but it is a useful guage of demand for their products.

I note that some of the items I had wanted that were permanently out of stock for months are no longer on the site.

[minger] 23/9/2008 12:15

is this just market sentiment on no news or is there a problem...anyone?

[jeffguru] 16/9/2008 11:16

Lloyd, stop being so negative ! ;-) I hope you're right...

London Edge show was last weekend and yet again their stand was buzzing with people placing orders. I re-visited the stand 6 times but they were too busy each time, taking orders off of people. I think people are going to be gob smacked when they announce their Xmas trading in January and their finals in April. Seems a long time off but it is only 13 weeks till January and when the Xmas announcement comes I can see the share price hitting 6p again and in April/May when finals come out I cannot believe that we will not see a double digit share price.
I can see profit at £2mill+ and at a cap of £7mill it is crazy that the price is only 2.75p even if they only hit the forecast of £1.84mill.
This company is ridiculously undervalued, ASOS needs to turnover approx. £25mill to make £2mill profit but EBTM only needs to turnover approx. £12.5mill to achieve the same profit of £2mill, their margins are so much better.

They really do need to improve the web site, it's not only the photos but also some of the female models look like random people they've just grabbed off the street and in some cases hinder the appeal of the garment. I tried buying something from there once, a dress that looked quite nice on the site but when it arrived it was seriously awful, more like a grandmars night dress. But perhaps that was an exception so I'm going to order some more stuff and see what thats like. Anyway as long as the products are sound a few simple changes on the website would go a long way, and surely thats not hard or even expensive to do? Ease down on the marketting/PR for a bit and look at that.

not sure niggle - it seems to be a decent amount of traffic judging by Alexa

[thfc 1] 03/9/2008 12:43

probably 10-20 orders a month, band shirts prob cost about 6 quid assuming 100 pc margin, so after freight costs, pick and pack costs, commission, vat and discounts the margin will leave about £1 profit per shirt. might just cover the admin costs

"Below are links to several different items of Iron Maiden merch at very reasonable prices. All merchandise is 100% official. Buying products from maidenfans.com funds our survival. We get a very respectable percentage of each sale made and all the money is invested in the server for maidenfans which costs around £70 [100USD] a month."

I wonder how much thay make from it?
