    Rude, rude, rude. Look guys, I'll be the first to admit I…read moreknow jack about running an antique shop - but I'm pretty sure I've got a good idea about customer service. Between me and the fella running Brooks, that makes one of us. Stopping into the crammed, musty shop I was interested in finding out about an imposing black lacquer jewellery box in the window. The owner seemed less interested in greeting me than roaring down the phone to a potential customer. Once he was finally willing to receive audiences, I asked where the box had come from (was it Korean, Chinese, Japanese?) I was only told it had come from a private vendor. That's all. Judging from the mix of real antiques and gussied-up (or is that down?) tin prints and novelty plaques, I wasn't ready for the price tag hanging off the box: €395 Yikes. Between the cost and the dealer, I couldn't leave fast enough. After a quick look online, I found a possible reason why the answers weren't forthcoming: that jewelry box retails for as little as $30 plus shipping. One more time: Yikes.

    You know the saying: "One man's junk is another man's treasure". That's exactly what comes in mind…read morewhen standing outside Brooks and Co and looking at all the random stuff displayed in the window. When inside, you can pretty much say goodbye to any appointments you have in the next hour or so, you will easily get lost while looking at beer-cans and hand-painted dinner plates, trying to decide if you truly need another funky lamp in the living room or flipping through the vinyl selection. There's lots of junk allright, but also some rare and amusing items, perfect as gifts for those who have everything.

    I have often gone into Caple street to visit this shop, and have a look around, but although I have…read moregone in at different times it always seems to be closed ? Is this shop still in business or has it closed for good. I had been there several times in the past and although it is quite small its like a little wonderland for model makers. It would be sad if its gone as there should be more of these stores dotted around the city to encourage younger people to explore their imagination and get them away from games consoles and use their minds and create new skills. Can anyone confirm if this store is still in business. Here's hoping its still .

    Dang do I wish I knew someone who built model airplanes. Or flew model helicopters. Or loved…read morerecreating battleships in miniature. Or just needed a lot of balsa wood or paint brushes. If I did, then I'd have an excuse to come back to Model Shop at least a few times for the craic; the shop owner is a warm, friendly sort who really enjoys his work. In the tightly packed but neat shop he enthusiastically sells, cajoles and demos all the goods on sale. I get the feeling that he's hand picked most of the stock in here, a great thing to think given the high quality of the models and accessories on the shelves. Perhaps as a concession to those shoppers not passionate about car bodies and propeller blades, there is a small corner dedicated to doll housery (though The Doll Shop on George's street seems to have that covered).
