Would you even consider buying a cage sold for $1.49?
It seems too good to be true..

Well... you know what they say about things that seem to be too good to be true?

Ditto

Probably just want to know my credit card number.

Does anyone know any reputable seller that sells dirt cheap cages?

I don't but you could post a LF ad over in the Marketplace forum.

If you put your location in your profile, it makes it a lot easier to answer locate-specific questions. That cage is shipped from the UK. Also, it is shipped from a place called OneClickPharmacy? Really? I know that on eBay, a lot of sellers have to pay a commission to eBay based on how much the item sold for. So, the sellers price the item very cheap, and then they make up the difference in the shipping costs, on which they don't have to pay a commission. The bottom line is what is the total price of the cage, including shipping?

Excellent point / catch, Sally!

It looks like a very tiny cage too - more like a prison rather than a healthy environment for a bird.

Sally- Good point. The total cost is about $10.00.

Lisa- I was thinking about putting my zebras inside the cage when I deep clean their usual cage.
