How Much Would You Pay For Tree

[Michael]

I hope it turns out well for you Michael, but as Marie said, I would be wary of ordering online, and definately not from abroad.

BTW, with mine there will be a lot of standardization so what you see is what you get. Not much guess work involved. The exact bumps and ridges on each branch may be slightly different but the shape of the tree (which is what's important) will always be the same. I am specifically developing and building these trees exclusively for online sale so that should work.

Now as for abroad, it'll probably end up costing around $60-$100 to ship this overseas which I know is a lot. But at the same time, there are many countries where there are absolutely no supplies available for parrots so the people who own them are rich and can afford to order stuff from abroad and are used to paying so much. So I do hope to catch some of the overseas crowd as well since mine will be no problem to ship worldwide!

Thanks for your input. Even if you can't/won't order one, I'll always appreciate your feedback so I can optimize this for all parrot owners.

Well unless I have a lottery win I probably won't order one but I do know the importance of market research and its great your putting so much work into bettering out parrots lives.

What I have does its job for the price I paid, the birds love it and is safe enough, so for now I have no reason to upgrade. Maybe one day though

If people would get off their butts and participate in my contests, perhaps I'd raffle one off as a prize. But to justify the insane cost of doing that, I'd need like at least 500 people to participate!

Haha I'm not on Facebook anymore so I didn't seen any point in contributing to your contest. :] I love your response though. You crack me up sometimes.

Well I don't know how many followers you have on facebook/youtube and the like but there seems to be a huge amount of members here but only a few who post regulary. Maybe I scared everyone off when I joined
I get what your saying about the cost but now you've said there may one day be a contest nobody will buy one now just in case they can win one rofl! I guess I would just see how well they sell first but I imagine you'll do that anyway after all your the one running a business and I am not.

I imagine the bigger the prize the more entries you will get anyway, alot of people are greedy like that. When we had 168 million as a prize on the euromillion lottery draw people who usually only bought one game started putting silly amounts of money on it, like 1 million isn't enough? I know parrot accessories are a bit different to comparing it to money though. I'll shut up now, I'm waffling lol...

It's not greed it's excitement!! ^_^ Same thing happened over here with megamillions. It was absolutely thrilling. On a slightly related note the only time I won something was when I won a whole Thanksgiving dinner for four! Pretty cool, but not a lot of entries because it's a weird prize.

Also parrot things are expensive-o soo it's sort of related.

[marie83]

Lol I would be just as excited to win 1 million as 168 million. The only difference is I would be able to set up a much bigger animal rescue with 168 mil.

I've always wanted to be able to buy up rainforest land and set up a preserve. That is definitely what I'd do if I won, pop that money in a credit union and work off the interest. Buuut sadly megamillions just didn't pan out

Okay I guess I'll stop this tangent. I'm sure the bird play gym is going to be fabulous and I'm interested to see the pictures when they arrive.

Oh, no need to wait for me to post a tree as a raffle prize cause I'm not gonna! After I lost my shirt giving out 2 prizes for 14 participants (one out of 7 won... at those kinda odds and considering it was free, you'd be nuts not to participate), and worse yet had people complaining on youtube and writing nasty stuff about it, I'm not planning any more contests anytime soon. Also, you didn't have to be on facebook at all to participate. You could have just submitted feedback on my blog to win and let others vote on facebook for you lol.

Let's see how many of you will change your minds about not buying when you see how awesome my trees are

*goes and looks* Oh that's just one crotchety person. You had me scared. I wouldn't imagine anyone but the trolls would be negative about what you do. But understandable based on your other reasons.

And yeah I feel like a dork now. Although who would vote for someone they don't even know? Too late now! Anywho....
