Thread: Question about Bucky Skeleton.......

Tweet

I'm thinking of buying a Bucky Skeleton 4th Quality but the best deal is ebay. Do you guys recommend some where else?

EBay has a couple of sellers with great deals right now, but that will soon change by the end of Aug or beginning of Sept. when prices jump to that of online retailers.

This is where I buy all my Bucky's... Great Price!!

i dont know what they are going for on ebay but these are on sale

Why are they called BUCKY anyway?

Best I could find off of google..

Some folks have asked why the standard haunt skeleton is called a "Bucky". Turns out that Anatomical Chart Company sells many different kinds of skeletons. In order to differentiate them and add a bit of splash, they were given names in the catalog, like "Petite Pete" (small) and "Budget Bucky" (inexpensive). Since the 4th class Budget Bucky is so useful in haunting, the term "Bucky" is often used as shorthand.

From my understanding, and owning a couple of "Buckies" myself. The name "Bucky" quite actually came from the fact that the original molding (duplicated from an actual human skeleton) had a bit of an under-bite thus "Bucky" was born.....or from the term "Buck-Toothed". Have a look and tell me if i'm wrong!.....lol

oh, by the way.....i have purchased my Buckies here....http://boneyardbargains.ca/

and my 33" Bucky from EbaY.

i have 5 buckies and all came from Ebay. I will agree though about ordering soon before the price jumps.

Both of mine were purchased through ebay also.... It was the best deal at the time and they are very nice buckys!

well now i know where the name came from!
