atsw Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 We've just been asked how much for our eggs which has started an argument between OH and me. what does everyone else sell there's for so I can get a rough price strategy? I have no problem selling our eggs at my work, there's always something of a rush of people down the office as soon as my notification e-mail goes out . I ask for £1.50 for 6 eggs.

Sam Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I sell mine for £1. I think we could get 1.50 but now we've set a price, it would seem rude to put it up! Edit: I meant 6 for £1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 £1.40 for 6 eggs here. Used to be £1.20, but feed went up quite a bit in price so thought I'd put the price up. £1.50 seemed too much of a jump all in one go, but I think it's a fair price for 6 eggs and will probably hike it up to that next year (planning ahead here ). £1.80ish for 6 FR eggs in the supermarket.

brizee Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Thanks everyone, thats sort of the price had in mind. i'm pushing the premium product aspect. all the money spent on treats for them I deserve a decent return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehaggan Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 In the omlet boxes i sell them £1 for 4 so its £1.50 for 6 then. In fact I was a bit cheeky the other week.. my mum and dad did a carboot so i took some excess along and put them in a nice basket and sold them there 4 for £1 with some nice blue eggs in too... the stall two stalls next to me was selling "barn eggs" 12 for £2 but i still managed to sell all mine.. so really people are willing to pay for them!

crazy kc Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I think it depends were you live. We are Norfolk/Suffolk and so many people sell eggs our way we sell 6 bantam for 50p and 6 full size for 70p. We have set our price the same as other sellers in our area. We keep quite a few pure breeds (silkies,cochin,silverlaced wyandotte and cream legbars) so we sell more of our eggs for hatching which does raise the price we get for them.

Snoxy Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I ask £1.25/box 6 mixed sizes...m, l and xl I have one customer who only likes xl...she is very happy to pay £1.60 I give 5p off for every box returned in a re-usable state...they cost me 8p each I just love people to eat my girls' gorgeous eggs...it's so lovely to hear people say how lovely they are Don't even think what I charge covers the cost of feed etc...can't believe how much it has gone up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j00lz_12366 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 hi snoxy, where do you get your egg boxes from..? the only places nearby are really expensive- nearly £6 for 24 boxes..or 24 p each..! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoxy Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I bought 300 from ebay...8p was the cheapest I could get them for without having to buy millions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberSky Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I used to charge 80p for a half or £1.50 for a dozen but now i have had to increase it to £1 and £2 as feed has gone up and i always thought 80p for a half was too little anyway, i think my girls eggs are special and its not fair to just give them away as they generally are not appreciated enough, supermarket charge well over £1.50 for half dozen free range, and i ask friends and relative to save me egg boxes. i did initially get egg boxes from ebay but they can be expensive and negates the money made on eggs thought the more u buy the cheaper they are.
