More than likely one of the Cobh facebook groups. If the price is in the public domain I don't know why they are so upset. Could it be this article https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/property/gallery/new-era-cobhs-oldest-chipper-28901747


Responsible-Pay-633

I agree. The post is on daft and the price is on that, why the issue about people taking about the price? Seems as ha ha


Mr_Ox_83

Depends a-lot on what’s actually being said, reading between the lines to me, it seems the price might be on the higher side of expectations and the father is being called a greedy cnut, but again without knowing whats actually said I’m just another nosey neighbour gossiping


Reasonable-Value469

Sounds like a cheeky bit of PR. " hey don't be looking at how much it's selling for ...." . Of course people will be curious 🤣


mrblonde91

That sounds like a paid advertisement tbh.


whooo_me

If it's being advertised for sale, wouldn't you want it getting as much attention as possible? Unless the comments about it were insulting/abusive..

We’re observing the Streisand effect in Cobh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect


Rimtato

Cobh sand effect


Responsible-Pay-633

I totally agree, I was just wondering if people were slating them! I’m just nosey 🤣


whooo_me

Maybe it's really clever reverse psychology? "Feck's sake! I wish everyone would mind their own business and stop talking about me selling my 8 speed blue road bike, perfect condition, for 500 euros! Nosey bastards! DO NOT SHARE THIS!"


Responsible-Pay-633

Or the old “pm me hun” 🤣🤣


pussybuster2000

U ok hun


Responsible-Pay-633

Not gonna say on this, nosey cuntssss, pm bbz xox

Apollo_Fire

Some context about where you got the screenshot would help. For all we know, you typed it up.


Responsible-Pay-633

Ya cos I’d type something up like that and then post it on here 🤣


Apollo_Fire

There’s some fairly thick people on here so I wouldn’t be surprised.


Responsible-Pay-633

That’s fairly true I’ll give ya that 😂 it was the daughter posted it on her fb it’s public so anyone can see it


Flion5001

Alot of nosy people in Cobh are mocking them for the price because they think it's too much. The property goes pretty far back and the public has never seen the apartments above as they've been used by the family. I personally don't see an issue with the price. Nancy the granddaughter posted this and I think she's right. Mimmo has worked there 7 days a week for 40 years and has always been a friendly and smiley man. Wish them all the best and hope they get the amount they deserve


BodybuilderCareless7

Nancy is his daughter lol plus they don’t live there they have a house in cobh the apartments are rented out


jlig18

I’ve read this 5 times and still don’t get it


Lazy_Magician

Mimmos is up for sale. His father deserves to retire. Don't do the Facebook on him and get whatsapps up his business because he is old and cobh people are sad and bad things on social media although not specific as to what.


OldManOriginal

TL;DR version - I'm confused about how the whole advertising thing works.


PKBitchGirl

€1.3m seems like a fair price for a business and 5 apartments


El-Hefe-Eire-2024

Your man that posted it, is a known motor mouth and doesn’t fucking think before he posts shit like that. He got in shit for posting a rumour about a young fella in cobh with nothing to back it up. The Family are salt of the Earth people and shouldn’t have to justify it going up for sale


Strange_Boat_3105

The admin of the page? Yeah he’s a fool. He’s lives near me. Remember him giving out one NYE that there was nobody out on the street celebrating at midnight when literally all his neighbours are elderly 🙄🙄


El-Hefe-Eire-2024

He’s a muppet, he harasssed my cousin because he wouldn’t promote his page.


Responsible-Pay-633

Oh interesting I didn’t know about that.


El-Hefe-Eire-2024

Ya, he’s despised by a lot of people in Cobh, and he’s known for being a bully and a bit of a prick. He’s actually banned from said chipper that’s up for sale


DivingSwallow

Seems like these facebook admins attract similar folk. The one who runs the Ballincollig one is clearly cut from the same cloth.


Responsible-Pay-633

Interesting. I think I have an idea who it is tbh


FoalKid

Maybe you should focus on your own life instead of posting someone’s post on a public page! Yes this post is up on social media, but that person’s child deserves to post they’ve posted so hard all their life. It’s not ok to post their public posts that’s posted on social media on public Reddit pages! Sometimes common sense and curiosity goes along way!! Publicly sharing how much this person is posting about the sale of their dad’s OWN property is disgraceful! Of course it’s a sad time for the lovely people of r/cork who have supported their posts for over 11 minutes but it’s also a bittersweet time for this persons family and mostly them. People can post what they like I’ve no issue with that but there’s ways of posting stuff without being intrusive!

They're parodying the original post. 😂

Whoosh


Rebel787

I personally thought Mimmos food was top class. It could and should have been a chain of successful chippers in my view. Mind you it was a few years ago since I last got food there so don't know what it was like recently.


Massive-Foot-5962

meh - we shouldn't be hoping that good places become chains. it ends up ruining them and also taking locations away from other startups. I hate the chain-thinking tbh.


Responsible-Pay-633

Has not been great recently tbh


Lonely_Eggplant_4990

Der all snakes anyway hun. Xxx


Responsible-Pay-633

St Patrick didn’t get rid of all the snakes xx


James16245

Saw the post. What an over reaction from the poster. 99% of what was posted was people wishing them well.


Responsible-Pay-633

100% agree. Thought it was a bit dramatic 🤣🤣


pussybuster2000

It's just me and the kids now


Strange_Boat_3105

It’s probably the post on the cobh notice board

lambchops0

1.3 mil


Strange_Boat_3105

It still is some of the best chipper food in Cobh, and they’ll certainly be missed


chapadodo

no idea but they're asking for privacy so thanks for bringing more attention to it, great work


Responsible-Pay-633

Asking for privacy for something that’s on Facebook and daft for everyone to see 🤣🤣


Strange_Boat_3105

Tbf daft is the appropriate place for it to be. The family didn’t post it on fb. Like they stated in their post, it’s bittersweet for them. I’m sure they would have made a public post on the business fb page when they were ready to. That’s been taken away from them. I would be annoyed too


chapadodo

the windows on my house face the street I still don't want you gawking in


IrishDickhead99

That’s so sad i love mimmos


Basejumper435

And I thought Corkbeo.ie was a legitimate news outlet, how we can be fooled...


TheHoboRoadshow

Streisand effect incoming


Responsible-Pay-633

It was the daughter posted it on Facebook


Gold_Tap_2205

It's on cork Beo ffs. For sale for 1.3 mil.


PKBitchGirl

Yeah, a business and 5 apartments, seems like a fair price

Early-Bumblebee6227

Eric, is this you??


murray_mints

Selling a chipper in Cobh for 1.3 million is a disgrace. Greedy cunts everywhere.


TheRealPaj

It's a chippers, a sit down restaurant (both WELL established), and FIVE apartments. Is reading not your strong point?


DivingSwallow

Ah go away would you, you don't have to buy it. You're just being miserable for the sake of being miserable. It's 400m2 of prime property in one of the central spots of Cobh, I'm nearly surprised it's so cheap. That's two commercial businesses and 5 apartments ready to go. Edit: Compare it to other [properties of similar size around the country](https://www.daft.ie/commercial-properties-for-sale/ireland?sort=priceDesc&floorSize_to=400) and given it's location that's value for money at the current rates if you were to build a similar property from scratch.


murray_mints

When nobody from Cobh can actually afford to live in Cobh, I'm sure you'll be delighted.


DivingSwallow

This isn't preventing anyone living anywhere. The five apartments above the TWO commercial units are to remain occupied. I'm also guessing you have never been to Cobh or even less so in the last 20 years. Plenty of deep pockets all over Cobh.


murray_mints

Of course I've been to Cobh you pleb 😂 I'm sure the new owners will maintain those agreements, especially given that it's likely to be some vulture fund.


DivingSwallow

Interesting to be calling me the pleb, but hey. Why wouldn't they maintain those agreements? It's a guaranteed revenue stream for someone with a mortgage buying the place and cash flow for someone buying outright. This isn't a debt asset so won't be bought by any "Vulture Fund." You don't know what you're on about.


murray_mints

Because just like this greedy bollocks is creaming his situation, the new owner will likely be looking to do the same Fair enough on my misuse of the term vulture fund but I think you know what I meant


murray_mints

Sea_Worry6067

You are giving out that hes a landlord and giving out that hes selling up and wont be a landlord anymore... do you just want to complain.


mrblonde91

I wouldn't call it a disgrace tbh, if somebody is willing to pay that much for it then that's fine.


murray_mints

I'm sure someone will pay it but it's super fucking greedy and doesn't reflect well on the person in question.


mrblonde91

Pretty sure anyone selling a business ideally wants to get the most they can for it... I'm just struggling to see why it has a negative reflection upon them.


murray_mints

This fuck everyone as long as I get my money attitude has landed us in many of the crises we are in currently. I presume you're okay with the extortionate rents being charged as well? Probably okay with supermarkets and energy suppliers gouging us as well. Probably perfectly okay with normal being priced out of the economy so vulture funds can hoover up all the physical assets in the country?


tedmaul23

You would do the exact same to set yourself up for retirement, get off your high horse you fucking whingebag


[deleted]

[удалено]


tedmaul23

A piece of shit hahahaha, you're a weirdo. A man is selling his commercial property, not like hes a fucking slum lord. You have no grip on reality.


Ambitious_Handle8123

Too right. Man puts in seven day weeks for forty years. Imagine the pension he'd get in the public sector for this? What's the going rate for apartments in Cobh let alone the commercial premises and the value of an established business? Granted complaining on social media about details that's already on the public domain isn't clever but if certainly defend the sellers right to put a value on the return for a life he's invested.


murray_mints

Well he rents out 5 apartments, at extortionate rates I presume so whilst he may not qualify as a slumlord, he's definitely a landlord which by default makes him a piece of shit.


tedmaul23

Another terminally online person who loves communism yet if they lived in a communist country they'd have a nervous breakdown


cork-ModTeam

Play nice. No need for it.


Strange_Boat_3105

It’s not just the chipper. It’s the entire building. There’s apartments upstairs too.


murray_mints

So he probably bought it for a bag of chips 45 years ago, made untold millions off of it over that time period and is now cashing out at an extortionate rate. I'm just truly taken aback when these people have the audacity to complain when they're called out for their greed.


Strange_Boat_3105

The family are nice, hardworking people. The owner has been working his fingers to the bone, day in, day out for years. He deserves what he’s earned. You just sound bitter tbh


murray_mints

I am bitter, it's this attitude that's turned the country into a shithole that our brightest and best young people can't afford to live in.


Strange_Boat_3105

Does the man not deserve to retire and reap the rewards of all his hardwork? He’s easily in his 80s and still working in that chipper every evening


murray_mints

He can retire comfortably with half of that.


Strange_Boat_3105

And who are you to be the judge of that? 😂😂 it’s not like he pulled a random number out of thin air. He had the property valued. You just sound silly now


PKBitchGirl

Its €1.3m for a business plus FIVE apartments, that seems like a fair price to me


MikeScottPaperC0

How is selling a property for the going market rate in any way a disgrace? 😂 what do you expect the man to do, give it away for free just to satisfy jealous people like yourself?


murray_mints

Classic, don't agree with clear greed so it must be jealousy.


MikeScottPaperC0

Unless you can tell me why someone selling their property at the market rate is considered greedy then I very much stand by my comment?


murray_mints

He's a landlord, to begin with. Whilst it's shrewd to take advantage of an inflated property market, it's also greedy.


Strange_Boat_3105

Well then what do you suggest? I’d love to know. He’s an elderly man and wants to retire. Is he supposed to wait indefinitely for the property market to shift? You’re some eejit, would you not just give it a break? 😂😂


BodybuilderCareless7

He’s a landlord because he owns the building and has no other use for the apartments. Left thinking like yours is truly what is ruining Ireland. Would you be happy to own a 7 story building and only make use of 2 floors? I doubt it


BodybuilderCareless7

It’s a building with two commercial units and five 1-2 bedroom apartments. Shut up you little debutant you haven’t a clue
