Wow, cheap play gym

Bird Play Wooden Gym w/ Swing Toy & Ladder - eBay (item 320443558479 end time Nov-08-09 18:09:55 PST)

Looks like it's worth a lot more than $25.00.

That is awesome! I love it! Hmmm, that just gave me some more ideas for the play stand I'm going to build for KeeWee soon.... Did you bid on it?

Wow, that is great for that price. If I lived in the us I would order one but I live in canada. Too bad.

Looks great but wouldn't last long with my birds, they'd chew it! I imagine it would be a bit of a nightmare to keep clean too. So much easier cleaning poop off metal or plastic than wood.

Hrmm...it looks nice, but definitely needs more variation...I'd add other toys and wrap rope around some of the areas to make it healthier for feets and excercise.

Also, I'd check on what kind of wood all that is, though it looks like standard pine..oh! And that metal chain for the swing. Need to know what that's made out of.


Other than that....also check whether or not that's actually bolted to the tray or not...cause if it's not I forsee accidents. It's confusing 'cause they said it's "removable".....just don't know what "it" is!



Also, just in case, remember that it's not $25. With shipping it's $43....but that's still an amazing price!

It looks good. I sure with some colored vet wrap it would be pretty and easy to clean. Plus it would make it easier for your birds to grip. But $18 shipping is crazy

If you're going to cover it in vetwrap, might as well make one from pvc, right? Cheaper than the total price. ^^

That is a cute gym. You have to remember that there is 3 days left on the auction so the price may increase quite a bit. Some sellers even cancel their auctions during the last couple hours if they don't make enough instead of using the reserve price feature that can scare off buyers. It can be frustrating. It's nice to see that the seller is not charging huge and dishonest shipping fees to gain profit. I use eBay quite a bit. There are some good deals but I find its not as easy as it used to be to get things really cheep since so many people use it now. Gotta love the last minute bidding wars though LOL.

Hrmm, I didn't even think about it being a bid, was just assuming buy it now. o.0

Looks like that h*a person or whoever has a highest bid placed on it. Which means that if you really want it you need to bid now and see if you can't break that....if you wait till the last minute you won't be able to beat out the ebay automatic bid system.
