Thread: Source for basic budget friendly skeletons?

Tweet

I'm looking for a basic life size skeleton - all I'm finding are expensive anatomical models, or dressed ghoulish things. Maybe I'm dreaming, but I'd like just a cheap plastic one, under $50? Ideas?

Their is a new line from the skeletonstore.com that has a budget version if you register to be a reseller he should be around that price.

You're best bet would be to pick up a Barney at SkeletonStore.com. With a reseller's account, you can buy one for just under $50.

Go to OrientalTrading.com. They have a fantastic hollow plastic 5 foot skeleton that looks great. The price varies throughout the year, but if you're lucky, you can get the 5ft version for between $10 and $15 bucks.

Here's a link Oriental trading 5ft Plastic Skeleton

And here's a pic.

For some reason, it seems you can only order the 3ft skeletons online right now, and they are $9.99 each. You might try calling 1-800-875-8480 (Oriental Trading) and asking them if the 5ft skeletons are available and what their price is right now.

Ok, had a nice conversation with an Oriental Trading sales rep and he says the 5ft plastic skeletons are out right now, but they expect to have them back in stock at the end of June.

The Invoice Number for the 5ft version is 25/3519.

Did you get a price on them?

The Oriental Trading rep couldn't give me a price because they are currently out of stock. He didn't know what the price would be when they came in. He was "hoping" they would come in by the end of June.

I have a question about this whole "reseller" thing...I've gotten the impression from many posts I've seen on this and other forums that pretty much anyone can register as a reseller. Is this accurate? When you look at the registration page the options don't seem to include home haunters...sure there's "Haunted House owner" and "Prop Builder" but I'm assuming these mean "Pro Haunt owner" and "person who builds and sells props to others"... So what's the plain truth on this? Can I, as a haunter who designs and builds custom props for myself, for my home haunt be considered a "reseller" and get the discount?
