Thread: Scaretaker prop on sale-$312.50

Tweet

For those of you who are interested, I found this scaretaker prop at a store called the Nest. It's the cheapest scaretaker I have seen. I thought about getting it but then I thought someone here might like to pick it up. I called the store and they were more than happy to send me pics. I think they would even take a video of it working if you asked. This is a store display model but they say it was only used for 2 Halloweens and it's in great condition.

Anyway, just in case, here is the link:

SCARETAKER

Happy Haunting!

Im actually going to stay away from animated props, because I had 2 crap out last year, my witch and my donna the dead. Im going to try to stay with the static props.

Hey SacromentoGal
What kind of a store is the Nest are you familiar with it? I bit on the scaretaker only to find out it was an open (no) box display model. The price was great for a new one but not for one that may have been used for a few years. I found out when I got an email saying that she forgot to ship the wall adapter and I asked why wasn't it in the box. I'd rather get a new one for a little bit more. I am p.o'd to say the least. I never heard of this store are they a retail outlet?

Never mind they emailed and are sending everything. I forgot to say before that the thing was shipped in 3 boxes and the arms and heads were left behind and they still forgot the adapter.

Hi Sledge!

Sorry that the prop wasn't what you thought. If you read my original post I did say that it was a display model and had been used for a couple of Halloweens in the store. That's why it was cheaper. I am not familiar with the store myself but they seemed very responsive when I emailed/called about it.

Not your fault at all S.G.! I had been hedging about getting one for awhile. I have the pirate and I love it.

I guess you guys have missed all the talk about these in the store sitings thread in the General halloween section! They are only $129.00 at Homegoods stores this year.

I picked up one today at Home Goods for $129. Definitely a bargin.

Nope, the Home Goods have been getting them in for that price. They aren't all going to get them, but the Home Goods store I'm checking told me that they get deliveries in Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and start putting out the new arrivals after 2pm. I'll be calling every couple of days... check out the ones in your area if you're looking.

They must have made a great buy this year on them to offer them at that price.

My sister said they are like a close out store so that may be that last of them....ZR
