Anyone know where I can get one?
does anyone know how many were actually made, the retail price and what they go for now on ebay?
last time i saw one was in a shop in manchester but sadly the guy wouldn't sell it.
cheers
thanks for the info.There was one bloke on ebay that, as far as I know, sold all of them. I bought one of the first ones that were listed, I think I paid about £70 for it, by the time it had arrived (broken in transit) the seller had changed his ebay name to "bobble headed moz". He sent another - broken again in transit. By the time the third one arrived he had arranged for a company to produce polystyrene packaging for it - it arrived in one piece and has staed in the box ever since - in fact it's still at work, my partner would go mad if she ever saw it, or knew how much I'd paid for it - she can tollerate records, but this would take the biscuit!
His story was that friends of his used to work for a company that had made them to pitch to HMV with a plan to sell them in stores - but somewhere along the line HMV lost interest, or the company ran out of money, but they stayed in boxes for years until this bloke started listing them on ebay.
He carried on selling loads of them - I think the going rate came down to about £30.
Now it seams like they've all been sold. If people are wanting them the price can only go up...but I'm not sure it will ever get back upto £70
Ive just noticed one for sale on ebay if anyone is still looking

The flowers are prone to breaking; I'm worried about that.
