shemybelle Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi I have been offered a red Classic (with 3 metre run) for £130. I think that's a good price and I'm tempted to go for it so that I can get 2 more chickens, but should I just invest in a Cube? Or maybe I should buy it, then sell both Classics and buy a Cube? Help! What would you do? Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 That's a very good price so it's be rude not to buy it, even if you do end up selling one Classic to finance a cube and keeping t'other for introductions/isolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Buy it - no brainer - what a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shemybelle Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Just noticed it's an original Classic (mark 1). That puts me off a bit as I wouldn't be able to get parts if anything went wrong. Hmm... Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hmmm, not such a bargain then... personally I wouldn't bother in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shemybelle Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm thinking I'll give it a miss. I really want to buy a Cube anyway. Thanks for the input. Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Strange but I notice the Mark 1 also go for almost as much as the Mart 2 on ebay. I find that puzzling! I would put in a cheeky offer of £100 telling the seller that the newer models are greatly improved etc. You can still sell it on later and still get your money back pluss a bit more.

merlina Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 depends if you need a spare home - for introductions, poorly hens etc. I wouldn't rely on an old model as a permanent home, but an extra space can be very useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shemybelle Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks for the thoughts. I'll mull it over for a day or two, but I'm thinking I'll just go for a Cube and use the old Classic for isolation and intros. Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 That's what I'd do; I kept my classic and it's been very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It is still a bargain. I'd jump at the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
