Oscar the Grouch Replica from The Sesame Street General Store

[Rocketship]

Hi, I'm looking at purchasing one of these that I've found for sale.

Anybody know what a fair price for one of these would be, or what they have sold for in the past?

Thanks!

wow if you found one of those , they are rare. I would say they are worth whatever the person who wants it the most would pay.

here is the link , looks like they want about $3000 for him. IN working condition I would say that would be awesome!

P.s. I still think my custom one looks better. and I can animate him myself

Ya the pricing seemed high to me, but definitely a cool prop

They said its pretty heavy like hundreds of pounds. So its going to be very very exspensive to ship.

Yup, I saw that, I think it's too pricey what they want for it though...

well one thing is also, most of the talk. I dont know if they made some mute. But that would affect the price I would think. I say they should hold on to it.

Hi all, bump for this tread... I'm in the SF Bay Area and have one of these available. A little different from most others that I've seen out there so far... the inside of the bottom crate is more complex, fuses, larger motor etc. Also came with life-size 3/4" MDF painted/laminated characters of Big Bird, Baby Big Bird, Little Bird, Bert & Ernie, and a Hooper's Store sign. Most are double sided, and they're big (Big Bird is 6-7 feet tall). PM me if you're interested. Thanks!

He's the only one I can see that has an optical eye on the front of the crate... not sure why he's different than the others.

Here's some pics of the gang:
