Default Bin cage for £70?!

Hamster Cage - Super Luxury 2-Level Bin Cage (Syrian) on eBay (end time 14-Feb-11 15:13:45 GMT)

I'm shocked that someone is selling these for that amount

And then I love how the seller says this:

'Whilst there are a number of excellent products out there (particularly the adaptable/expandable ones made by Rotastak, Savic, etc) I have always found them to be rather pricey for the amount of space they provide my pets'

I know!! It would have cost, what, £15 to make them, if that?

Bin cages are good but not worth that amount.

He could make a good business if he sold them at a reasonable price, I know a few people that would love a bin cage but are rubbish at DIY.

Exactly, I would purchase a well made one at a reasonable price instead of getting the Ferplast Novy which I'm planning on buying.

Taking a £40-50 profit on each item is just cheeky IMO.

I'd love a digging chamber too so might save up for a Novy as I'm terrible at DIY.

Yeah, that's a little steep really.

Hehehe, my OH is buying me one so I dont have to worry about the money

I'm not bad at DIY but I dont want to go out and buy a load of tools to make it, I cant justify spending the money on it. I'd have to buy a drill and they arent cheap!

Ah, see, I have to earn some pocket money first.

I would ask my Dad as he has the tools but he's not a fan of DIY either - Can't blame him.

I do have to wait though, my OH has to pay £400 plus to top up the rent on our flat this month... He keeps saying that he wants to wait until Luna is settled in her HH (which she was about two weeks ago lol) but I know its because he doesnt want to spend even more money LOL
