you stuck a light bulb in and put outside to decorate. I was looking for one about knee to hip high for a halloween display I want to build. We threw one away a year or so ago along with a couple of the plastic candles too. I hit just about every thrift shop, salvation army, ect in town no luck, then a lady told me she had seen one in a small flea market in a town a few miles away.

I drove over and sure enough it was still there, and why not they wanted $45 for it!!! I was willing to give $5=10 for one but not that much, I am now calling a few relatives to see if any still have their old ones, I was going to have him standing over my jackolantern with a bow and put an arrow in the pumpkin.

    Try the dollar store.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    The hard plastic Santas and other Christmas decorations bring a HUGE premium these days, because they aren't made any longer. I sold many out of my collection for $75-150 a few years ago.

    The blow up decorations suck, and only last a year or two. Plus, they suck. [:D]

    We have three sets of the plastic nativity scenes. One set has the wise men, Shepard, and cow and donkey. They Take up a lot of room in our her basement.
