Voyagers
Re: Voyagers
Extremely overpriced. Also the quality has strongly decreased after the change of ownership. The handling is meanwhile very unfriendly. The fat dealer weighed 0.9 g and then pressed some "1g button" in the cash register...

Re: Voyagers
That does, sadly, not surprise... The "new owners" (if you can even call it that) seemingly have many things to answer for, shame on them!
Avoid if you value decency and honest people!

Re: Voyagers
Without this forum, when I rediscovered Mokum some 8 years ago, I'd have probably swerved Voyagers (along with Central), thinking that their location meant that they could get away with being tourist traps. Looks like Voyagers finally took that step. Hey, at least Central is still a decent shop, even if you can't smoke inside any more.

Re: Voyagers
It definitely wasn't the Voyagers gang (i.e. Andy and Co) that decided to sell out! They have moved on to other and better places (where we're sure they will do well) and what remains, as far as we know, has nothing to do with the old Voyagers (besides the name and location ofc). It's not for us to go into further details, other that to repeat what we said before, avoid!kingbee wrote: ↑Fri 27th Dec 2019 10:19 amYeah it looks like Voyagers has just decided to sell out and pander to the mass over-tourism situation that's going on...For Shame!!FODSmith wrote: ↑Thu 26th Dec 2019 04:47 pm Without this forum, when I rediscovered Mokum some 8 years ago, I'd have probably swerved Voyagers (along with Central), thinking that their location meant that they could get away with being tourist traps.

Re: Voyagers
You seem mighty sure about that, you do know what they say about assumptions right?kingbee wrote: ↑Fri 27th Dec 2019 10:27 pm Well the previous owners did sell out, quite literally!
They sold the business to profiteers, who don't care about quality - the new owners just want to capitalise on the prime location it occupies near Centraal station, by attracting hordes of tourists to it, and the previous owners are laughing all the way to the bank!

Re: Voyagers
Yeah except that's not even close to the actual story. They got fucked by a petty and greedy power play of the actual building owner.kingbee wrote: ↑Fri 27th Dec 2019 10:27 pm Well the previous owners did sell out, quite literally!

So I kindly direct you to the words of my Danish compadre above, regarding the nature of assumptions...
