Margaret Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 is comming on Wednesday, have taken day off work, OH has made all the modifications to WIR. Very excited, But what to do with was thinking of selling it but ( am i being mean ) Omlet want to charge £45.00 to sell on Market Place Do I keep it for intros (dont really have the room ) E Bay it ...

MummyHen Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I hope it arrives as planned !?!? £45 - since when; is this a new thing I've sold a cube via the market place previously and didn't get charged. My purple cube is up and running - so I too have an empty classic and have the same dilemma; sell or keep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 They sell well on ebay £230ish seems to be the average price, a lilac one + extension achieved £330ish. Buyer seems to always collect. I hope to part with mine this way when my comes in October once I've integrated some newbies that is. I'm sure your really excited, I know I am and it's still ages away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Just spoken to Omlet to make sure I hadnt got it wrong. They charge 15% commission to sell So seeing as we brought Eglu from them, buying Cube from them and they want to charge to sell it Dont think I will be doing it via here. Bit mean really, or is it just me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'd sell it on ebay. Just make sure you have a reserve price and list it on an offer day so you don't get charged commission on there too. Alternatively once dismantled it could sit in your garage for a rainy day. Rainy days aways happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I believe that omlet will charge commission for anything sold in the Marketplace You can put your Eglu in the 'Eglus and Cubes For Sale' section on the forum though and that will not be subject to commission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thank you Redwing, thats what I will do then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 I know, so eggcited, how silly at my age. Christmas is comming early, its only 101 days to go, but Not for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I know, so eggcited, how silly at my age.Christmas is comming early, its only 101 days to go, but Not for me Not at all silly Margaret. I can remember being so excited when mine was delivered too. I have kept my Eglu and am using it for my new girls. Not sure what I will do if and when the new girls go in with the ex batts but I think I will hang on to it as it won't take up too much space in the garage. Just hope OH agrees with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 If you weren't eggscited, we'd be worried! Forgive me for not being a good influence , but if you don't need the cash immediately, how about keeping the eglu for introductions? I kept my even though I can use the with its run for intros and the without a run for the other girls - "just in case" ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Unfortunately will have to sell asap, as that was how I managed to persuade OH for the I havent done any intros yet, as always get Gill from Mumbles Farm to do them when I go on holiday I choose new chooks and she does all the hard work whilst I go away (been successful 3 times) Though last time not as only tried to do 1 hen. Going away in November and hopefully when I get back will have an Orpington and Aracuna as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 You are lucky having someone to do the introductions for you Mine are now into their 2nd week of being introduced to each other and I think it will be some time before they are all in the Cube together. I can't wait as it's a lot more work having to clean out two coops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 It's Wednesday. Is it there yet??? I bet you've been up for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 No its blooming not... Done all the house work, got a stinking cold and no voice,feel like going back to bed but darent in case I miss them, keep going to check the door bell Least its a day off work. Have told OH will phone as soon as it arrives so he can rush home from the office to set it all up Wont say what he said but he always manages to get time off for golf so think its only fair Have explained to the girls about their new house, but might have to let them know that if it doesnt come until late after noon they wont be in it until the weekend, just dont want to get their eggspectations up to much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hope it comes soon Margaret. I can't even remember what time of day mine turned up, all I recall is being surprised at how many boxes it all came in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Its arrived, So many Hugh boxes Phone Hubby, he says he is busy But will try and leave early. Cant belive I hugged the parcel force man ( oh the shame ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy-Deb Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I know exactly how you feel. Mine will arrive next week and hubby out on a training day so will be champing at the bit to get it all put together. Happy New Cube. Hope to see lots of pics of it being put together.

dancing cloud Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Yay! It's there! You could start getting it all out of the boxes (just to make it easier for hubby and get all the rubbish out of his way ) and it may be worth checking you have everything too. My was missing the roosting bars and I had to manage without them for about a week until they arrived - not that the ex-batts were fussy to begin with!

Margaret Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Well started to put it together, has taken hours to do so little, still no OH And now realised I cant get it out of the house..."Ooops, word censored!" Sorry. Bit of damage to the roof..spoken to Laure and are going to dispatch another, will arrive on Saturday. They asked for photos as evidence!!!!!! I said repalce or take the whole thing back, evidence indeed, only one box had been opened, and remember problems people have had in the past but well done Omlet. stand your ground and hopefully it will all be ok, also, one of the poo trays wont clip into place, shame really as Cube is sooooooo expensive but as I said Omlet are doing all they can to rectify the teething porblems. Now to dismantle all my hard work and start again in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
