I will keep pricing around to get the lowest price possible. If I were to sell this as a DIY kit It will be the material cost shown there plus shipping. If I were to sell it built, $185 plus shipping. That's with the current material cost I have If I can find lower price for the acrylic (mind you this is high quality acrylic that's lighter then glass, but stronger, resistant to chemicals and scratches) I will lower the prices. Alternative to AR acrylic Plaskolite - 20x stronger then glass, UV resistant, weather resistant 18" x 24" 6 sheets $71.88 DIY kit with Plaskolite: - $78.81 plus shipping built by me: - $90 plus shipping * if theres enough acrylic left over I can use it to make a sling enclosure or juvenile enclosure which will be added as a bonus, free of charge [/QUOTE]
