I've been offered a papa smurf figure like the tall one in the center. he is the store statue that holds the flag.

I was wondering what a fair price for him would be? any help

[Guest]

afaik the statue is quite cheap about 150 Euro it was sold at ebay but the important is the genuine flag. if the genuine flag is there the price is higher..
But I never paid too much attention to the prices for this item

[Gerda]

the seller says there is a german flag with it that says "come and see the new smurfs today" he claims it is mint!

Steve's papa has the original sign although I'm not sure that the post for it is original. There should still be a photo of it together with my normal smurf on the forum somewhere.

I can't say what they normally sell for but I think that €150 is possibly about right. Important is also that the paint on the smurf hasn't been touched up at all.

[Gerda]

The seller wants to sell it for $500 but I think that is too steep so i'm trying to make a deal with him.

I love these smurfs, I paid about 200 for mine with the flag. I've seen them go for 300 euros at some of the fairs though. Good luck getting him Gerda..the package is HUGE when you get it

[Tojo]

That sounds too expensive to me too

The photo of Steve & my shop displays together seems to have disappeared from the forum. I do have some on my pc at home though.

Gerda, I am not sure where the seller is but if he is from overseas you need to consider shipping as well.

[Gerda]

He lives about an hour and a half from me so I would pick it up. i'm trying to negotiate a price, but I really want it, I just can't go broke buying it or me and my smurfs would be homeless I was already told that our refinancing our house and bills into a low rate does NOT mean I can spend the savings on smurfs life is cruel

WHAT!!!!! That just isn't fair Gerda

Told by whom? By your bankmanager or by your husband?
Only in the first case, you should listen!

I'll let him know you said that

He's normally pretty good but he wants to actually be able to pay off our loan in half the time. of course I should not complain too much as it is him doing all the smurf shopping for me since the new ones are coming out.

Lia,
Maybe Gerdas husband is a bankmanager.

ohhh André, what a nightmare scenario.....

@ Gerda, well, I must admit, that sounds like an ( almost) ideal husband!

S**** what hubby says....buy the smurf...says the single lady

[eggie smurf]

I don't know Gerda....you could pick up a nice smurf train display in Jefferson, WI instead...I know which one I would go for

[SmurfingH]

I know I should counsel restraint, but you've got to have that Gerda! Get Bob to do the negotiations as he isn't emotionally involved. Then he can't blame you for the price!

Shame!!

I know that auction, I had bid on it was the high bidder but then I contacted the seller and said I could not pay for it. He was nice about it. I have to keep money really tight right now
