Selling work
« on: June 22, 2007, 05:28:37 pm »
This question was prompted by another post where a member bought some "reach and wash work"

Anyway the question is directed to those who are prepared to buy work.

Would you be prepared to pay more for a  round that was already converted to wfp?

Therefore avoiding all the explanation letters, frames leaching soap etc, that can come when making the big change from trad?

This isn't just a hypothetical question as I am  considering selling off part of my round.

Regards

Ian

Yes,

I suppose I would pay a little more for wfp work.

The reasons being:

1. You don't have to print off explanation letters and explain to the customer.

2. You don't have to do all the hard work of first cleans.

3 All the hard work has been done for you.

So all in all I think it's fair to ask more money. Instead of 2x the round value I would probably aim for 3x the round value.


But.................. A lot of customers can drop out after 3-6 months due to not liking wfp and the results.

So on that note I would not be happy to purchase recently converted trad to wfp work. I would only consider buying wfp work if it was at least 1 year old and well established.

Thanks for that clearvision.

We seem to think along the same lines, the round I have in mind has been done wfp since april 2005. Ive been doing the round for 5 years in total.

I think when I get round to selling it ( I'm a few months away from that yet) I'll  ask for a bit more cash.

thanx

If I were buying work, I would be prepared to pay more if it had been cleaned with WFP for a while - at least half a dozen cleans I think.
