Thread: Got Money....Look at this!

Tweet

Here's an auction that cover's just about everything. 2 tractor trailer trucks full. If I had the money and a place to put it, I'd be buying!

Anyway, I just saw this on ebay while looking for general Halloween stuff and thought I would bring it top everyone's attention.

I agree. I'm not sure the kid knows what he's doing. If he's selling with NO reserve, he risks having to let it go for a lot less than the $18,500 he wants. I also notice he's a first time seller, so maybe that's why he's clueless.
I ought to put in a bid of $200 just for the heck of it.

The cost to rent two semi trailers to get it up to Maine would be more than I could afford, though. Hey, darkness, wanna go in with me on this? Maine doesn't have a good haunt.

i'd love too, i can go pick it up. we have trucks and trailers here.

You can cancel an auction. He doesn't have to do anything. Especially since he has no reputation to worry about.

I also think he needs to clarify that the trailers are not included.

Thats a lot of wood, thats about all the pics showed.

It always amazes me the stuff people put on eBay, and the way they try to sell it. He'll be lucky to get a $1,000. Not trying to be mean, just realistic. He should at least try selling things in groupings (walls/fixtures, props/lights, decor/makeup/costumes) at first, he could probably get more.

That happened to me just today!
Seller ended the auction when nobody else was going to bid.

I would love to own it, but would hate to store it.

A "multi-million" dollar haunt? Riiiiiiiight. Where are the sample flyers? What was the haunt called? People (professionals) need to know exactly what this is. It must have been wildly famous... posting that "it's" for sale should bring the big guns running. I don't believe that you'd just give it to some kid (obviously an idiot) to sell.

$25k worth of paneling, and the "expert" (not the guy he got it from?) didn't quote him an estimate for the whole lot, or is that the $35,000? So... 350 panels and $10k worth of props bringing in millions of dollars? Some high-end props cost that much and more, alone.


This whole thing is hilarious. $51 bid with 8 days left. Wonder if he's getting panicky?
