New Vintage SW Finder - *Feedback please*

Hi guys,

Thought it would be a great idea to have a central thread detailing all the places in the UK & ireland that sell vintage SW.

Have made a start on a google map and have added the places I currenly know
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zZHId4ULiSaw.kxzIbqCMfa7I&usp=sharing
Once the page is live, if you reply with a location I will add it to the map.

But I think we need a catchy name and was wondering if I could pick your brains.

Have you guys got suggested name for the new thread?

Names suggested so far....

- Vintage SW finder (Clawrence)
- The new 2016 vintage shop directory (poncho)
- Vintage Britain (kingshearer)

Looking foward to seeing your suggestions

**UPDATE** If using an android/iphone you will need to download the google maps app.
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/google-maps/id585027354?mt=8 (iphone)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps (android)

Cheers

I think this is a great idea personally, very useful when people go on day trips to see if there are shops worth going to.

Great idea there was a similar thread a couple of years ago. I suggest you coalate some data from there fella for the new 2016 vintage shop directory 8)

Great idea but can't get it to work on my iPhone

Not much up in Scotland, I'll put my address on - you wont be able to buy anything but I'll make you a nice cup of tea

I have the app but get an 'unsupported link' when I try. 'Google maps cannot open this link'

This is a great idea, well done with the set up so far. Excellent stuff!

Cheers Jeff....will make sure we add a few Irish locations

How do you add places to it?

Nice job!

I think its pretty cool to be able to see and purchase vintage Star Wars in person but of course if they are being sold by a dealer with the overheads of a bricks and mortar shop then they're unlikely to be ebay beating prices.

Now... if you could only add a map of all the little church hall jumble sales staffed by grannies that are selling vintage toys for pennies I would be very grateful!!!

What a fantastic idea! My suggestion is 'Vintage Britain', short, snappy it will get the punters in oh sorry I thought I was on the Apprentice ..
Wish I could add to your map locations in the North East but I can't think of any apart from Vectis I suppose?

Hi mate, once we have a name will move it to its own Thread, then you will be able to post a repy with the location, then i will add it to the map
