It costs £350 per year to have the Shopify account to run the LFGSS shop.
In theory that's very cheap as we'd make money from the little we'd sell and it would cover costs.
In practise it's expensive as we actually don't make that much and when we do we seldom cover all of the costs involved.
I'd rather not be using donations to help keep the forum alive to fund a shop that is actually a net cost to the forum, and so I'm going to close the LFGSS Shop.
What this means is that when things are made, once or twice per year, that those who make them will need to find other ways to handle selling them, taking money, sorting postage, tracking stock, and so on. This should not be too hard as the volumes are low enough that a spreadsheet should be good enough for this.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.

Anyhow, closing it in 3.. 2.. 1..
