i dont get why people sell good rounds,  if i had a round that made 3 k a month and was easy i would employ and sit at home

priceless. if you sold it for £20-25k, (i doubt anyone would pay more than that) it would only last you a year, so what would be the point. unless you were moving of course.

I thought the going rate was three times the monthly income.  Just be very careful mate  ;)

Is it really that good? big question. Or is it inflated crap.

daz you cant say that his might be very compact like your but with very high prices unlike you.
Title: Re: buying a good round
Post by: dazmond on November 06, 2011, 09:22:34 am
No guy in his right mind would sell 2 days work that brought in nearly 800quid!a lot of liars,charlatans and generally delusional people on here at times.
Title: Re: buying a good round
Post by: michael o on November 06, 2011, 12:12:54 pm

why would he not sell it he might have retired or moved daz not every one has the same kind of underpriced round like you mate if i am honest i think you might be a bit jealous of other windys as you been doing how many years and you still aint got a good priced round

Hi Ian, Are you going to Oz as a permanent resident? I lived there for 4 years till recently. Perth's a good city, bit remote but nice place to live.

wow, woody you seem to know a hell of a lot about dazmond and his prices?
Title: Re: buying a good round
Post by: dazmond on November 06, 2011, 10:01:21 pm
i have a very good round for my needs!im certainly not jealous!ive never had it so good window cleaning!obviously it needs a bit of tweaking here and there as that is always ongoing with a business.

i was just stating that earning £800 in 2 days is defo not the norm for domestic window cleaning!and i was right!4 days which is still pretty good. ;D ;D ;D ;D

i try not to compare myself with others and concentrate on improving my round without ripping customers off.

best wishes

Yep your right there loads of pools think the windows might be an annual or bi annual at best though, loads of mossie screens in the way as well. Think apartment blocks would be a good one to target for windows.

Aussies are ok, bit full on with the we live in the best country rubbish, seems to me to be a bit of a nanny state too. Wouldn't sell up entirely if I was going out there, lots of folk end up coming back.  Nice place though still.
