Ive Made A Concrete Trough/planter, Whats It Worth? http://s106.photobucket.com/user/RATTER15/library/AB

[RATTER15]

Its big and its heavy ... its 5ft long by 19.5 inches wide and 13 inches deep and weighs in at about 5 CWT or 250 KG. It wont blow away!!

The materials cost me about £30 and about 2 hours to cast and to de-mould.

I cannot deliver as its too heavy to get in the car, so will need to be collected.

It will most likely last forever. Any idea on what I could sell it for?

[RATTER15]

Nobody going to have a stab!!

[ummmm]

It's not opening for me, Ratter.

Well your costs and effort amount to ~£50 not allowing for any profit.

As a punter I would want to know if it was frost proof and would have to factor in cost of transportation.

All in it is not an attractive prospect as it is likely to be knocking a £100 for something that I could have delivered by a local garden centre for less.

It won't open Ian x

Eccles, I promise you that you wont buy this for less than £100 and yes it is frostproof. Transport will be extra, most likely will be collection only.

Its lovely for the right location. Would be lovely painted. Try £200 e bay .

Clicked on the link and now my tablet is locked up with pop ups !

[Old_Geezer]

Do you have malware infecting your tablet ?

How will it be transported if it's too heavy to put in a car/van?

[Chipchopper]

I must say, I'm impressed!
Nice stone effect finish. Maybe paint on a mixture of live yogurt and cow dung to encourage moss/lichens to grow, to give an aged look.
Aim for the 'alpine garden' market.

[ummmm]

Tilly, it would get in our van okay.

[Chipchopper]

Could be transported by a truck with a hoist ?

[RATTER15]

It will go into many vehicles but it will take a bit of lifting, it's a 1/4 ton. It could be loaded into a vehicle with a tail lift or a couple of guys lifting it bit by bit on blocks.

[RATTER15]

My guess is it will sell locally, with it being a very rural area and I think it will easily load with a fork lift or a tractor with forks.

[RATTER15]

Well I put it on a few local FB pages for £160 and with 5 mins I got someone wanting two of them.

Looking good so far lol.

A concrete coffin, how nice.

[RATTER15]

Perhaps you would like to try it for size Baldy? I have plenty more concrete for a lid!!

[Baldric]

No plans on needing one just yet Rat, looks ugly to me!

[ummmm]

That's good, Ratter, are you going to sell the other stuff?
