Thread: Hurry up and get your overpriced prop!

This guy (hope it isn't one of you) is selling the Gemmy Frank. Monster for $239.99!!

I paid $31 for one. Full price was $128. Please explain? Is this a rare, limited edition that does more than blink his eyes and move his jaw? Is the core made of solid gold?

Time is short, I better bid now.

I paid $59.54 for mine. This guys ripping people off big time...

Wait--- He's also got a great deal on a Spirit Ball for only $129.99. Somebody PINCH me, I must be dreaming!! What a deal!

Looks like the one I got at Target after Halloween for $10.00.

Well, I paid 119.00 for mine, but when it broke Gemmy sent me another, and when THAT one came already broken, they sent me a third. So I have one with no head, one with a head whose jaw doesn't move, and one that works just fine. $119.00 divided by three equals approximately $40.00 apiece, plus time and agrivation. I think its worth it!

LOL Chris , i am like you bought a gemmy scientist for 149$ then it gets here broken arm at shoulder , and mouth doesnt move , then the store ships me a head replacement wich wont work on the body so gemmy finally sent me the hole scientist , so i have a scientist with a broken arm that we can fix , we managed to fix the jaw movement , a head that serves no purpose and a scientist that fully works lol....

that ebay seller is overpricing his stuff big time , you know people like me from Quebec Canada here we dont get animated stuff like these in stores , walmart last fall had the mummy bride (only 1) and when i got back the next day to get her she was gone .....so people like me have to rely on ebay for alot for things that we end up paying 3 times more for them , then extra shiping to Canada then duties for those , i dont mind the shiping when it is the real shiping price no overcharged handling , and duties but the 3 times the cost for an item .....

i hope this year i'll have some kind souls from the forum members that might be able to help a poor Canadian witch out with her purchases without being ripped off by ebay sellers

Witch-- I'd be glad to ship some props to Canada if something you want is available in my area. I've done it in the past for other forum members.
No need for you to get ripped off on E-bay.
