PVC quality?

Hey all

I've been looking for some more PVC cages to shuffle my snakes around and make some space for a new planned addition. Locally there is someone who makes custom PVC cages himself. Selling a 4x2x1 for $150 while other better known ones range $230-260. I've only seen a picture of one as I haven't yet met him to see it in person. I'd only be starting with 1 to see how it goes. How would I be able to determine whether or not it's well made? Used cages around here are few and far between, at cheapest they are $150 and tend to be either unknown makes or powerhouse cages.

If he used cheap pvc with lots of air in it, I think you'd know when you have the cage in hand. It won't feel as sturdy as it should, try pushing down in a couple of spots out from the side on the top, if it bows down personally I'd forget about it.

I was emailing back and forth. Gave him my number and asked when he was next in the city as he lives up north. This was 4 days ago. No email, text or call. Might just say forget it and buy herphouses.
