hi guys
im sure most have read my previous post and know i have abit more time on my hands,
so i was wandering how much would do you reckon i could sell this for
the door that looks patchy, that is just condensation as i was working on it out side
i made it yesterday for my snake and i enjoyed doing it, so i thought maybe i could make another at my own pace too sell but obviously i dont wanna o it if it gonna cost, so just a rough idea as to how much u reckon i could get for one
its 3 ft x 18 inches deep buy 18 inches high, plus the stand
got to be honest it looks alot better in the flesh
many thanks

lol no worrys.
im just in the middle of building a cabin bed for me lad, but i probally gonna build a bus or something at the bottom of it not sure yet, see how the mood takes me lol
Do you want my pattern for a bosc viv? It's 6' x 3' x 3' so a single bed will easily fit on top and you'd get to have a monitor lizard in your collection. Everyone's a winner  .
pmsl
yes mate that is a great idea, i would do that tomorrow, but she who must be obeyed has just said if i do then she will pack my bags lol, so as much as i would like to its not worth the pain lol
lol. Worth a try. You could always build two and keep her in the other one . |

@ £60 a viv I would have bought about 6 off you if I had known. Might still buy 2 or 3, just the distance that scuppers it... |

wow nice one, mind telling us how much your selling them for?
up til now ive been selling them between 100 and 120,
ive been looking around the shops and the vivs down my way vary from 85 -100 for a standard 3ft and the stands for about 60 -70.
me mate who has the shop bought 2 for 100 each, but ive sold another today for 110.
as of yet ive only been selling 3 ft ones but of course i can make any size
i seem to be getting alot of interest at 110 for viv and stand so i may just see how it goes at that price, i reckon 60 for viv and 50 for stand.
i have not put a post on the dark side as im not sure what the darkside is lol, well i know its a rep forum but i dont know what its called so if you guys have a link that would be fantastic.
i can also arrange delivery providing its reasonably local to me.
i am gonnna write a proper post and put it in the correct section so its easier for peeps to find.
to be honest i should have started a while ago , i did think about it but wasnt sure what the market was like, ive been making and selling rabbit hutches for about 2 years that i sell in shops and markets so i shoulda started early last year realy,
thanks for the info guys

Excellent news mate. Have you put an ad up on the dark side as well yet? As long as you keep on top of the orders you could do well out of this . |

and when people came round to collect i already had there's made.
but my 2 brother in laws have asked if im selling mine, i said no and made them one each.
also my mate who runs a pet shop came round and saw it and has asked for a couple to put in his shop, as he already has a few rabbit hutches a month from me

Prepare to get busy after you've sold a few. There's a few on the dark side that are getting multiple pm's about builds on a daily basis. The nearest one to us is in Essex. I've not seen anyone doing them in the Portsmouth/Southampton area.
since i started this post i had a man phone up and ask if he could come and look at 1, i of course said yes and when he come and saw it he said could you build me 7 with 4 stands, i was at first a bit unsure and he then got his wallet out and paid for the whole lot up front ( thats £100 pound for vivs and stands and £65 for the vivs) and said that he will give my number out as he knows a few peeps who will be wanting more,
and i also sold one that i advertised in a local rag for £110 with stand.
so they cant be that bad lol
happy days

I think there is a potential gap in the market as long as your vivs are of a great quality and sold at a competitive price.
But you say you enjoy doing it - and thats allt hat matters ey? :) |

unfortunatly im in southampton s a bit to far away i reckon
tyhanks for the advice guys, i built one today and ive put it on a few free sites so hopefully it will sell.
im not thinking im gonna get rich , its just some thing to do to keep me entertained, as i get so bored sat waiting for kids to get in from school.
