so you got to do it for a year before you make any money and thats if you keep all the work, surely in 10 months you could get a decnt round and then look back and see what you built.

Also how many people have their windows cleaned bi-weekly? Very very few I would imagine!

The question that comes into my mind straight away is where did he get the rounds from? If a bloke was selling his round then thats OK I can believe that.

 But several rounds, that makes me suspicious. Its easy to get a good rating on ebay you just sell lots of small items cheaply. This guy has only got a small number of transactions. What did he sell to get them?

Also he is inviting any potential buyer to defraud ebay of its proper fee by selling a "business card". In other words the deal will be done off line, this is against ebays rules and they are always warning you not to do it.

I've just been into his feed back. One feedback says "He is a lying cheating thief"

Thats a good start

the guy whos selling comes on her often and i dont doubt if its good work he will get it.
people make me laugh you havent thought about any of the most important questions about the work just its to expensive.

What if the work is premium work one man earning £200+ a day is it not worthit then??

i know of and would certainly pay good money for good work well established and ticking the right boxes.

But then if people want to sell there work for twice the clean then its proberly Poor work and only worth that!!

Blimey, Lancashire must be the only part of the UK where the window cleaning bill is more than the mortgage repayments ;D

90% of my work is fortnightly here in Paisley thats why we fly round them so quick but also thats why the prices arent the greatest either. Darren.

I have to say Darren that "flying round so quick" isn't a concept I really can get to grips with:

If you're cleaning a 2 up 2 down (either trad or wfp) then surely the work is the same whether it's done 2 weekly or 2 monthly.

What I mean is, if you're trad then up go the ladders and you clean the window....whether you're cleaning off 2 weeks or 2 months of dirt it's roughly the same (to me anyway)....same goes for wfp....or am i missing a w/cing trick after 4 years on the job?

You must be wearing a yellow armband and be holding onto a labrador dog if you're mad enough to pay ten times the value of a round regardless of how compact or excellent the round is.

There is a big difference between 2 weeks and 2 months dirt on windows especially in the summer when there is hardly a mark on them  ive only been traditional for 19 years.Been wfp for about a year also thats quicker if you have done the same house fortnightly sometimes its been 5or6 weeks because of the weather and i think it takes longer just my opinion.

simon keep it quiet but yes you are missing a trick or two. nearly all my domestic is 2 weekly and not to put to fine a point on it,if theyre not dirty when you clean them wfp i mean it s not rocket science to see it s easier, also don t need as many clients so creates a more compact round. cheers mick

You'd have to have a mental age of 6 to pay 10 times the amount a round is worth. Financially it would pay to go out and canvass. No way in hell would I pay 10 x for a round even if it was £30-50 ph

Wayne work priced between 30-£50 an hour is worth far more than 10x in my opinion.
