Re: ebay find
I think that’s a pretty good price.
If you take in to account the cost of materials, even if they are reclaimed.
Postage included. And they are very nicely made.
I know when I decided to make my own.
I bought a gas solder gun, Solder, Various copper pipes and end stops.
The cost of parts etc soon adds up.
I probably spent £50.
I did have enough to make two parrots, but mine doesn't look half as nice as that one.
If I knew then, what I know new, I'd have bought that one.
I'd have one that saved me money and had a resale value too.
Even though I did enjoy making my own.

I can think of one in my neck-of-the-woods, on internet auction at NZ$180.00; that's 90 quid to you guys.
Those two parrots on ebay are nice looking pieces though, and still cheaper.
I seldom take myself seriously....
