I just sent Marilyn an email...I'll post as soon as I hear back from her. Seems from the older threads here, it was in early march last year...might have started in late Feb.

mlack@anatomical.com,

I received this response. If they go with the prices on their website and don't do sales anymore...they are fairly expensive and you can find them cheaper.

"Marilyn forwarded me your email to her. I wanted to inform you that we are now handling all of the Halloween business that Marilyn and Bucky’s Boneyard/Anatomical Chart Company handled in the past. We will be launching our wholesale website, www.skeletonstore.com within the next few weeks. I will let you know as soon as the site goes live. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you in the meantime. "





Thanks,

Adam

Hmmm, have to see what happens. I have no Buckys as they are rather expensive. If they don't do a sale, then I may still not have a Bucky.

What do you think a reasonable price or a full size skeleton should be? I am not talking about the 4th quality products. Just a nice, economical fully articulated skeleton with a stand.

I havent seen anyone using stands with their buckys, mostly it's PVC pipes stuck in the ground, or 2x2 frame the bucky's attached/tied to. Stands hang the bucky by the hoop on top of the head, not good for displaying as scary.. Everday 4th's normally go for $140-$170, 2nd's $250+ and forget 1st qual unless ur a Med school or Doc($500).. You can find 4th's on eBay for abt $80 but $30-$50 to ship, so it's a wash.. What wud I expect to pay for an on-sale 4th's bucky? $50-$70, and abt $20 to ship.
You want a stand its another $30.

As for the SkeletonStore(above), unless there is a terrific Pre-Order discount, you can do better on eBay. $139? Thats still full price

Searching eBay I've been looking at this one seller, TheGrimReaper in St. Pete, FL, has 4th's for $80 and $30 to ship, makes 4th's $110, not bad for a 4th.. Has skulls too, $10 and $6 to ship. His quantity price for 6 bucky skulls + shipping was $82.. breaks down to $12 each..

Anyone wanna get a co-op buy going?

Heard back from the skeleton store. He said the prices on the site are retail...and that the site isn't live yet with real prices as they are still working out the kinks. I told him what Marilyn charged over the past years and stated it wouldn't be worth it for us to use him if they competative. He said to please wait for the site to go live, and that they will be having a special for all us old customers that he will keep me posted on. He said he will send me an email in 2 weeks with the details and I will of course post that on here when it is in hand. Guess we shalll see!

TheGrimReaper is who I bought my 3 buckys from last year. Couldnt be happier, nice service and everything, but you cant beat the sale prices through the ACC
