would you ship it?
We'd probably ship it, but you'd pay for crating and shipping costs. Somewhere in the area of $100 for crating. Shipping would have to be determined by how much it all weighs and where its going.

More description:

The prop is built from chip board and cardboard sono-tube. It was originally set up with air guns that shot confetti when the Gonzo figure was pulled (via wire) past a trigger switch. I have many still photos of the prop in action and being used by the Muppet performers Dave Goelz and Bill Baretta that I will share with the buyer.

You can see in the image that there is a rough hole cut in the side of the tube. This was done by the film crew to allow Dave Goelz to stick his arm inside and puppeteer Gonzo as he "settles in".

The back end is made from a styrofoam dome and there is a small receptacle at the top to stick a "sparkler" in to simulate a cannon fuse.

High quality? No. We built this in less than a day for free because the Extreme Makeover show doesn't pay for anything... its basically all volunteer (except, of course, for the stars of the show who get paid quite well, thank you). Anyway, its been gathering dust in our shop since then and really needs to find a good home before we move our business.

So who needs it? :smile:

What... nobody? Less than a benjamin? Come on folks! This has Dave Goelz' sweat on it! That's worth the price alone! LOL!
