lerryn Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Occasionally have some extra, & was thinking of selling some.... what do you charge for 4 or 6 eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I sell any surplus for 20p per egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 We give some away and sell the excess for £1 a half doz. Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Yep we also sell any excess eggs for a straight £1 per box of 6 eggs. It saves messing around with loose change as well. I think its reasonably priced! (more than the cost of battery eggs but cheaper than most free range eggs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 £1.50 for 4 and £2 for 6. At a yuppie market though, and I give LOTS away to my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 £1.20 for 6 - although as they are all colours, I ought to charge more now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pearsons Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Once I have extras I'll be asking for a donation towards the place I work. I work for a "not for profit" organisation under contract to the NHS. Our core work is funded but the "extras" aren't. We just started an art class and are raising funds for canvas, paint, brushes etc. Every £1 counts!!!!! Helen in Hume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 That's a good idea Helen. We sell at 20p per egg with 5p from each egg sold for the BHWT. However, we charge our regulars £1 per box if they bring their box back.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 £1 a box of 6 .......its a nice round number & people always seem to have £1 on them if they are walking past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 50p for 4, (or 25p for two, or 75p for six) people like things cheap round here I found it just covered the price of their pellets too However, two of mine no longer lay so I don't sell eggs anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 £1.60 for 6 1.40 for 4 With this sort of pricing it gives me the supplier (well not quite, the chickens supply the eggs) the psychological advantage simply because people realise there is only 20p difference and people are more inclined to pay the extra 20p for the extra 2 eggs. I rarely ever sell in 4's because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMO Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 £1 for six - bring your own box! All proceeds will go back to Battery Hen Welfare Trust. I now have a waitlist of customers - so might need more chickens! OH will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris70 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I asked for a dnoation for my bantam eggs at work, as although they take a lot of effort to produce - they are very tiny - I got a £1 for 4 eggs regulary. Just a query to the egg sellers (as now with ex-bats I've got surplus again) - where did you sell the eggs, and if out in front of the house - did you have issues with kids taking/ smashing them?

Snowy Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Mine is word of mouth through neighbours, I take any surplus to work (they meet me at the door to see if I've brought any and be first in the cue!). I put a note on my front door so no eggs left out to smash. As soon as I get enough to sell I box them ready and put them in the fridge.

Martin B Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Word of Mouth. If I increase my flock I will probably sell from the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Mine are 20p each. OH is known as the eggman at work because he sells all of them there. I do have a sign up in my front window saying "fresh eggs for sale" but as we live in a cul-de-sac, we don't get any passing trade. I also refuse to sell to under 18's and any of the grotty teenagers around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 refuse to sell to under 18's That's a shame, some people are quite genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Not in my street they're not. I know it sounds mean and i don't normally tar everyone with the same brush, but like i said, we get no passing trade so any under 18's are the grotty kids who i KNOW would throw the eggs, probably at my window.
