I would pay to have someone buy me and ship me one if extras are to be had

I called every store within a 50 mile radius and most said they never even got em in. The UPC I was using also said no stock, but it was definatley coming up and the employee could see there werent any stock on hand.
Well while I was at it calling around I did ask about the lifesized props as my Friday stop into a party city yielded a bit of a heads up. They were raffling off for $1 a ticket a ghastly/gravely butler and The Count. I asked why not just sell them and the manager said theyve been in the back storeroom for years and no one bought em. Im thinking, mebbe cuz you had em hidden away, yeesh so then I ask how much was he selling before. $130! I was bummed about it cuz they were case fresh, as in just out of their boxes (manager said so) and looked awesome, but now that they are raffling them off they have them positioned at the front of the store for jerks to mess up

I bought $5 worth of chances so Im crossing my fingers but not holding my breath.
I called all the party citys about any other props like these and a few yielded some results. One had, for $200 each, a sadie maid, dobson and chuckles. BUT, they were in poor poor condition, mostly chuckles, as he was missing fingers, and dobson looked the best but more on him in a sec. Sadie is what I went to buy but she was pretty dinged up, and the manager said he came down from $250 to $200 already with the damage in mind. Yeesh, hes not getting that price for those, though Im going to try em after Halloween in case they change their minds. Im a little mad at that store because when I called around the prices for these things were about $130-140, which is in my range. The Party city closest to me has all the cool props but they have them displayed in the back, with up to $500 on them, so I thin they are happy with them being just store displays. They have to my recollection Captain Flog'Em , Chuckles the clown, maybe Ol Deadeye and I thinkg Ghastly/Gravely the butler and maybe one other type I cant recall. Is each party city individually owned? Like do they set their own prices for things? I thought it was a corporate thing. I seemed to get different responses per each store.
One was stating they sell everything and dont carry merch from part to future, and others have old stuff for current prices and others have some good discounts (Bat Bar). I found another store with a dinged up Dobson for $130, so Im getting him tomorrow, or rather, hes for my mom, shes been wanting him badly.
