Thread: shiatsu massagers

I found two of these at a thrift store near me. They want 9 dollars for each one. Is that a lot or is that what they normally go for? I would love to get a couple and make props but I would love it even more if I didn't over pay for them..
Thanks for your help!

I have paid between $2 - $3 for mine. Sorry. If you weren't my cuz, I'd rub it in and brag about it. LOL And if it didn't cost $500 (approx) to ship it, I'd send ya one. (ok, a little exaggeration. LOL )
Does the thrift store have any sale days? The one I frequent does a 'half- off everything' day every Monday.

I think 9 is on the high end but again, you don't see them that often and if you figure how many uses you can get out of them, it's really not a bad price. The props I built with mine would easily cost a couple hundred dollars in any Halloween store so it's all relative. Offer 12 for both of them and see if they bite! I'd pay 9 bucks for them if they worked well

9 seems a bit high for used/ thrift store.... I got one at a flea market for 5. Then again... new... they used to run like 30-40! (family bought 1 new, years agoo and paid 35. hasn't been used in years either so now has been upgraded to ground breaker!)
Sooo, kinda high, but still worth it.

jdubbya.....what props did you build with a shiatsu massager ???

Hey Kymmm, I usually pay $45 for a massage, then drop another $50 on the tip, so 9 bucks sounds cheap!
Seriously though, I paid $12 for the last one I bought, so I don't think it's a bad deal.

It would be great for everyone to post the props you've made using these massagers. All the spider victims, grave grabbers, hanging props, etc! I know I, for one, would LOVE to see them!!

I found 3 at the good will 2 weeks ago I paid 3.50, 7.00, and 8.50 for mine. I know same thing 3 different prices go figure lol

I made a grave escape last year. I have another masssager I'm going to make a standing moving zombie. I have some video of it but haven't uploaded it. do a search for shiatsu props and you should see some good ideas.

I just ran a search for "Shiatsu" and got several pages of props. Those things are really versatile. There's a lot of different uses for them, from the classic grave grabber/grave escape to standing zombies that twist at the waist.
