Would you buy these?

I'm working on setting up something where I could sell my own photos as cage and enclosure backgrounds and I was wondering if anyone HAS bought from cages by design or if anybody WOULD buy from them.

Do you think the prices are fair?
If not how much would you pay for a quality laminated background?

Re: Would you buy these?

I've heard too many bad reviews on the cages to spend money on one of their backgrounds. But this thread reminds me of another.

I'm a firm believer that anything they have is ex[pensive. But obviously there is a market for it.

At the prices they have, I wouldn't buy them. Those prices are just too high.

Re: Would you buy these?

They are pretty... but way too expensive. Up to $500 for a background? Nope. You can buy large stock photographs for WAY cheaper, and cut them to size, and they're usually every bit as good. I like the "we'll use one of yours for $50 extra" too. If you have your own photo, take it to a printer and have it printed for you. It'll cost a lot less.

Re: Would you buy these?

Those background prices are almost 4 times the price I paid for the tanks to begin with,,,,,,,,rediculous. I make my own backgrounds (My son Tyler and I make a collage out of pics from reptile magazine) It's fun for us,,,,,,unique,,,,and I think looks better than those shown.

Of course with the cost of their cages,...
If you can afford them then you can probably afford the high dollar backgrounds!

Re: Would you buy these?

I like to glue together puzzles and then cut them to fit. That way I can change it around: any season, holiday, whatever appeals to me. You really can't tell most are puzzles.
