I hope to be there next month maybe.

Dude, You could do a 'only serious punters, no tyre kickers, via "paid appointment" only', type thing. Where you have complete control of your time and diary. Kind of like a private art collection, where you only have the serious collectors and buyers enter. Otherwise security could become an issue, unless you've got onsite guard dogs and a back to base security system. That way atleast your time is covered erellevant of product sales. Like all venues, its not unusual to pay an entry fee....

If I was nearby I would help you move things around or whatever. Just to help.

maybe just make a website and make it where visitors must make an appointment or something

which is the one korn used?

My little nigglet. Let's get her done.

Man - I wish I was close, I would absolutely come by....

I totally love your enthusiasm! Can I make a suggestion? To involve people from far away, have you thought of doing a raffle? You can put a minimum reserve for the number of tickets that must sell before the raffle happens so you’ll make what you were hoping to get and account for covering the shipping. To make the raffle fair, make it $1 or $5 per ticket - everyone can only buy a maximum of one or two tickets per item being raffled (so nobody takes advantage by dumping a boatload of tickets to increase their odds by a ton when most people can’t afford to do that. Who wouldn’t fork over a buck or two for a chance at winning whatever you decide to raffle off that time knowing the money will help you start a great music space in Erie? If you get the minimum number of tickets on ____ item, you proceed with the raffle - if not, the tickets purchased roll over to the next time you raffle off next time (if there isn’t enough interest in the item you picked to raffle the first time). You do this until you’ve collected your minimum amount of money for each prize to draw a winner. Make it a $1-$2 for less expensive gear like pedals and such, and $5 for amps/cabs. Or a silent auction style thing? Same idea. You set a minimum reserve. Let people bid on the item without revealing how much people are bidding. Person who bids the most (assuming it meets your reserve) gets the item. In this case, winner pays shipping on top of the bid (unless you include that amount in the reserve) if the item is very large and heavy. There are apps and websites to help organize these types of raffles and silent auctions. Then you can draw a winner on a live stream and ship the item to the winners. I’m sure you’ll raise more money than you think doing one or both of these things while still unloading some gear. Who wouldn’t plunk in a buck or two for a good cause where you’re raising money for music in your community while helping some lucky people win some neat prizes? (Might have to check with local laws to make sure you can do this, but it’s totally legal in most places so long as it’s 18 or older to participate.) Might be too late to do it for this gear sale, but technically you can do this anytime you want. I’d give it 1-2 weeks to give people time to enter each time. Hope this idea helps. A raffle or silent auction helps to get you some cashflow by making it a collaborative effort with low pay to play stakes. It also gets people from the channel involved from all over and builds community within Erie and beyond - gives people a reason to want to travel to Erie for music and other events you’re hosting. If you get people excited about a chance at winning something and helping to collectively build something cool, they’ll want to make the pilgrimage to Erie to check out how they helped with some raffle tickets and enjoy the experience in person!

lol, some channels try to be funny and most just end up being annoying. best of luck with everything you're doing!

Exactly what I’m needing Got my Badlander 50 2 weeks ago. Love it but was missing a little something. Cant wait to get this . 🤘🏻

What if you did a once a month gear swap and shop? You could charge people to rent a spot in your studio to bring their own gear for sale. That might raise some money as well as help other musicians meet and network with each other.

Hope things work out for you. I'm here in Flint, Michigan. Maybe someday I'll go out there sometime. Thank's. Duane McKnight

Woww how many amp heads have you got ???

I need some powered speakers!

I told ya 🤘😎

If your venue does a 90’s night, book my cover band haha

I’m not far away. Id like to meet you someday dude. I actually live right in the middle of you and Xander Ray

Another great idea would be consultation. Like, i bring my guitar in and YOU show me which pedals / amps would sound the best. I'm sure there are THOUSANDS of us guitar players who just don't focus so much on being a tone junkie and wanna play. And a vlog of you putting giant smiles on the faces of those of us who can play, but just don't understand what you most certainly do would be epic...

I hate this idea because you live far away

Yes

Good luck with the sale!

Better then trynna do marketplace 🤷‍♂️

So happy to see your dreams come true...keep us updated bro....

U got red bull machine too 👶👑🙏🥤👶👑🙏🥤

Great Idea wish I could drive out there maybe one day .🎶🎵🎸🍻

Thoughts and prayers to your tax guy 😂

I'd totally show up if it wasn't a 7-8hr one way drive hah.

Congrats, Kyle! Store name ideas: "No Bull Guitars" or "Sam Ash 2"

Good luck! Let us know how many tire kickers show up. Hopefully not too many.

ANY idea that liquidates unneeded gear, but, doesn't take lots of time or extra manpower. Has to be welcomed. Might I suggest some type of display cabs or even large racks of some sort, that can secure guitars. This helps put your mind at ease, when there's dozens of villains milling about. Also, even alot of them amp heads. Should be put behind maybe some kind of long counters or display cases. In other words, out of reach. Otherwise, it's down to always having doormen during any open hours. That costs money. I'd be interested in building any custom display cases you can dream of, if you go that route. I've done quite a bit of that stuff over the years. Commercial stuff is extremely expensive. Good to see, your realizing you definitely still need to get some stuff gone. That place isn't that huge, and until you get the basement set up. Your gonna be tight on space. I'd be seriously considering most small gatherings down there. The basement should have a vault in one corner, for an office, slash safe room. That gives you a quiet phone room, for paperwork and a register of some sorts. It's always a work in progress, but your a sharp kid. And you have the most important part covered. DRIVE! Stick with it for a few years. If it's poop, it's poop. But your sure as hell gonna find out! And I give you much props for that! Your taking a chance most squids would cower at the idea of! How can you know? If you don't try? Bravo chief!

Im definitely gonna head there from buffalo. Guitar gear and splash lagoon ....HELL YEA!

Awesome,I live an hour away in Jamestown, NY and work in Erie weekly, maybe I can make it over sometime. Also, if you need any electrical/networking cabling done I will do it "for the cause".

I wanna buy your Juno 100 head, will you ship to Cali?

If only I lived closer !!

If I were anywhere near by I would take care of that AC issue for you. That be what I does.

So much gear 😮🎸🤘😀

That's my birthday. I'm in uniontown pa, I should ride up...3 hours

I wish I could travel that far for it, it's an awesome idea!

So you’re saying you’re turning it into a Wendy’s ?

Very cool going to try and get there

Dude I live about a half hour from Philly in jersey….I typed “Erie pa” info Apple Maps, it’s 7 hours and 24 minutes away WTF I had no idea PA was that big 🤣

Wishing you the best of luck with your sales, Kyle!

Keep the momentum going, bro. Make Erie Great Again. I can't wait to see the place. I get up there about once a year anyway, taking the family to Presque Isle.

Any Gibson or Epiphone Explorers? 👍

Bro if you weren’t 1,100 miles away, I’d totally come! But I don’t think I could swing a trip like that for a random Sunday. Id love to come tho.

A great idea Kyle , hope it really works out for you. It’s also a great place for the amp festival we talked of you having , what do you think ? I could bring one of my MI heads !

That sounds really cool!

For some reason I thought you were in eastern NY... Erie is just a hop skip and a jump from Cleveland 🤔

How did you have this hooked up to your computer with the TONEX software open and not have the software also playing and stacking on top of the pedal? I haven't found a way to mute the software when I have it open.

Metal. It comes from hell. And Erie, PA.
