What would you pay for this table?

slovelad

starting to build and sell these. Thinking of selling around 400.

what would you pay?

Beautiful job, what wood are you using? Where are you located?

Nice table sir. No clue what it's worth but I'm thinking $400 is a great deal.

@slovelad   $400 seems fair.  You've done a lot of work, and it looks like you know what you're doing. 

Are you offering the option of finishing the table as well?  I think guys who are inclined to buy a wood instead of making their own, possibly are not the type to do their own finishing / sealing.

Great point @blasting. Even if you finished the table to the liking of the individual buying the table.

OT: but aren't you the college student studying to become a lawyer or have I mistaken you for someone else with a similar moniker?

I dunno...those unfinished furniture stores seem to do good business. A lot of folks seem to enjoy applying the finish of their liking.

I do agree that $400 seems like a fair price. If I was interested in a wood table I'd pay that for that table.

@RRP yep, I do wood work in my spare time to bring in a little cash. 

I graduate in the spring, so between graduation and taking the bar I won't be doing anything but studying.l next summer

@Gamecockeggman it's all pine. To keep the costs down . I'm in Tampa Florida l. But I'm always up for a road trip if you ever want to buy a table

@blasting yea I would much prefer not to do the finish. It takes forever and it makes a mess. And the material costs go way up. And thanks!

Seems like a good price. almost as nice as some I have seen by a certain company.

You could add a grab bar that could be used to push/pull table or to hang a towel. drawer slides in area under egg or slide out tray.

Very nice table but I wouldn't buy one for my own use, I don't like having to refinish every 3-4 years. All my eggs are on an open deck in the elements and no matter what finish I use the sun and moisture takes it toll. I went with this table,

got it used has a few scratches and dents but at $500.00 I love it.

I don't think that's the response he was looking for...

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

I think the hardware idea from @Tspud1 is a great idea that would add some character and would be fairly cheap. Even if you had to add $50 to the price it would still be a good deal. The finishing part can be fairly easy and somewhat cheap. Just depends how you tackle it. The better it looks to the eye, the better it sells.

@Tspud1 yea I can do all that. This one is the first one for a friend who only paid $220. So I didn't want to ass to much. Still wanted to make money on it

He hasn't yet posted his list of available upgrades.

That's where the money is - all the dealer installed options.

Very true. They get you in the door and lock it. Then the wallet starts to bleed.

Looks good!  Looks well thought out.  Nice work.

GrateEggspectations

Have seen something similar at Ikea. The model is called the "Eggen Hölden".

Jokes aside, your table looks great.

StillH2OEgger

That certainly looks like a fair price for a solid looking product to me. Good luck.

I remember when this wasn't a retail site.

Some of the epic threads have been new people trying to sell stuff in their first posts.  That mini cooper for sale was great entertainment.  So was they guy trying to sell his dad's cutting boards.  Seems to me there was also a debacle involving t-shirts.

I don't mind @slovelad mentioning what he's doing though  - he's been a good poster and has been around a while.  Just don't work it into every post @slovelad , or we'll flag the hell out of ya!

Mincooper was awesome!  And the cheap tables some guy tried to sell that looked like they were made from 2x4s in an elementry school shop class.  He was classic though, pretended to be a lady.

That's great looking work, but I wouldn't buy a pine table for any price.  I also wouldn't set my egg on a wooden base.  If your table was made of cypress and had a marble base for the egg to sit upon and a marble in lay on the top, then I would be willing to pay top price.

slovelad

@bgebrent @blasting not trying to sell on this site at all lol. I am trying to figure out a good price to sell them locally. 

Everyone here spends ends their money on beer and BBQ lol

slovelad

@Hub I need customers like you! lol all mine are too cheap. 8 can't even imagine what something like that would cost 1000? 1200?

Agreed. Pine is really soft. It would need to be cedar or something similar for me!

slovelad

@Great_EGGspectations only issue there is that cedar is about 5x more expensive
