How much is a round worth to sell
« on: August 02, 2010, 07:36:08 pm »
I've been offered a round that is about £700 per month. From what I hear it is all well priced work. Any idea what it is worth?

Thanks

Thanks, I did hear a few years ago it was about 2.5 times. Looks like it is still in the same ball park

£700 per month I wouldn't pay more than £3,000 for it.

all depends where you are really i offered 12 times the monthly taking for a round nr me taking £500 so i offered £6000 and never got it as he wanted over £10,000 for it which is 20 times and its poor priced work thats how it is in bolton nr manchester at the moment.

5 times? Do you have much problem getting that price? Im not doubting your pricing seeing that you get that price but the thought of paying 5 times the income means you dont earn anything for the first 5 cleans..
Good on you for getting it  ;)

Only some poor mug will pay that!.
£6k for £500 per month! why is it that a few guys want to sell their round for well over the odds, they are the ones that moan about how much it costs for water and DI resin etc.

5x I recon, If someone offered me 2.5x for my hard worked business id tell them where to go to be honest, 5 cleans wouldnt take long to get money back, why would anyone work hard to build a good compact round then to sell it so cheap....

its not a problem as you point out because when you sell you get your 5x back,and it goes up in value as your prices rise

2 local lads out of work thought thay,d have a go canvassed it got a few of his custies started cleaning i thought great that,ll teach the greedy git, heard last friday 5 blokes with bats turned up looking for them. i had thought of canvassing it myself but i knew what would happen. ::)

i know of lots of work going for 15 - 20 x that is useless still people pay

window rounds like gold dust in parts ooop t'north

people want compact work close to home, how else ? maybe they hate canvassing or dont feel comfortably, many areas stil very patch oriented so there is a market to sell at that rate

the price only represents demand, basic market economics :)

jings the answer is easy you pay as little as possible and sell for as much as you can only local economics will deter that

i have paid less than x1  and i have also gave work away and i have been given work for nothing. but if i was selling well that would be different

The only round I ever bought was for 1.5x the monthly amount. Which I thought was fair.

 But I hear of people around my way paying 3x - but that sound high to me
