ubereglu Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hi today was the first time I've ever seen an eglu in the flesh today. It looked and was great. This has just made me want an eglu more and more so I just really, really want to make the money for it even more. I don't know what colour I'll choose though... Also, quick question, does anyone know what the average price a second hand eglu goes for from Omlet HQ with no chickens? Then it'll give me a good idea on how much I'll need to raise, I'm thinking in the region of £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Where did you see one? I'm about to pm you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 I saw one on a stall at the Shepton Mallet Show. I think it was the 'Somerset youth volunteering network' stall. They had 2 battery hens living in it. It was groovy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Blue...It was gorgeous. I wanted to steal it and take it home with the two battery hens in it. I think I'll either get a blue one/purple one/green one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'd settle for any. However James offered me a green one, and I can't imagine an eglu in anyother colour unless I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophieam101 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I got my mark 1 eglu for only £190, we new the sellers Mum so we got it cheaper that way. Ask around to see if anyone has an eglu, you never know they might want to sell it to you one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Thanks for the encouragement. My eglu fund is up to £155.50 now. But I do have another 2 orders on the way. The suspense is killing me at the minute as I won't get to find out the price of it until next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I get to find out the price of it tomorrow! Can't wait, it'll have to wait another week on the money front as I should have enough then! As I have 4 orders on the way and my birthday's coming up!

ubereglu Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Found out how much it was today-£300. Going to try and haggle with them majorly. And I found out that it was actually being sold from Omlet, but is actually only in Somerset! GRRR!!! Far too much money as it's second hand too. I'll have to raise over £100 now. NOT FAIR!
