My local shop has one of these on the shelf, and they've got it priced at $59.99. I know shipping would be killer on this, so I'm trying to determine if this one saves me enough money to make it worth it!

It's in moderately good shape. I'd probably rate it a 6 or 7 out of 10. Stickers probably account for most of the grade there.

It's missing the railing from the top, but has, to my knowledge, all other pieces.

Keeping in mind I'm dealing in Canadian dollars here, so that $60 I mention is around $42 USD.


Thanks in advance!

Hmm tough call on that one if you´d ask me. If it was in good condition and complete it was a no brainer but in this case and assuming you´re trying to get it completed somewhere down the road with the missing piece it might be good to think things over a bit. Because finding the loose/missing parts for playsets can be a bit tricky and also costly because I´ve seen sellers on Ebay who seem to explicitly break up complete sets into parts in order to make more money out of it. So with that in mind and the fact it has some issues I think it might be better to hold of, unless you´re not to worried about the condition and don´t feel the urge to go after the missing piece.

 

It is a sharp price but it depends on your thoughts on these issues whether its worth it or not I´d say. 
Personally I think you should be able to get one in that condition for a little less if you´re patient and lucky but if that´s to come from the US and you´ve to deal with shipping costs you´re at that price again soon so it really depends on those two issues and your position when it comes to that....

 

Not really helpful I guess but just my thoughts

More helpful than you think!

I've got $30 credit with the store, so out of pocket cash would only be around $30, which is a little bit better.

By the sounds of it, I could get it cheaper down south. But given the current condition of my dollar and the shipping costs, this will probably be the way to go.

As always, I appreciate your input!

I know Bachman has sticker PDFs on here so if you are just going for a personal one you can always replace the stickers and make it a 9/10 for yourself

The shocking shark is a little bit more expensive than the other tow here so $40 is a decent price. (you can get it for 30 (or even 20 if you are lucky), but it is getting harder to get at that price and is always missing parts).

I forgot about that! But yes, that's definitely a possibility. (I'm not a die-hard who has to have original, I just prefer it.)

It seems like they have it priced fairly reasonably. (Although he said "it's a deal" because he saw an auction or two sell on eBay for $100. Which is why I was asking here in the first place.)

I appreciate your help!

the last few complete sharks ive seen sell go for around 45-60$ US money plus shipping depending on scratching and completeness.

the railing thats missing will be like 10$
