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

| Nice. Just check on the Vivexotic site first to make sure that yours don't look identical. If they have legal ownership of their design you could potentially end up in a world of poo. |

As long as there are obvious differences then you'll be fine.

Very true. If demand grows and the company start losing money then problems can start. |

| I would say that if you were to buy something like that from a shop you'd be looking at £100. |

| I agree with blackecho, as long as what you say is true, that it is made well, and all in good condition, i'd be happy to part with £100-£120 for something like that, right now however i dont need one. |

| I paid £100 for a 3x2x2 without a stand, I paid for the fact that it is solid, not cheap. If yours is well made and sturdy, then £100 inc stand would be a fair price, and if you are in the north east I might be tempted for one for downstairs. |

| If you're still making them in a few months I'll be in the market for a 6 x 2.5, but wouldn't need a stand. It'd need to be couriered up here though. |

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. |

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? :) |

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
