There's already one bid one it, so no telling how much it'll go for, 1 1/2 day left til auction closing. Ebay is like a football game .... the last 2 minutes is all that really counts ;-) Snipe it if the bidding doesn't go too high! If I just "had to have it" I'd probably go up to $40, maybe $50, and then I'd back out myself. 'cause then there would be shipping costs too.

I once paid $10 on eBay for a swag light (luckily no one bid against me), and then had to pay $20 to ship it here, but I just "had to have it" LOL. Probably wouldn't have had it if the bidding had gone very high because of shipping costs.

The trike is absolutely adorable, love it and hope you get it Cait! I've been wanting one for a long time. Let us know. ~tenderlee

No No No just get a used one at a garage sale or thrift store and it will quickly rust outside(NO PLaSTIC)
A basket from the dollar store and you are set. This was 5 dollars at an antique store and the basket a buck.Add some moss, a geranium and whatever you like!

That is adorable, and I've never seen one like it. I say, go for it, and good luck!

Cait I can see why you'd want it...I love it...But to high priced for me...I'm also cheap...

cait

but i want it

That is awesome! Definitely pay $30! But my pocket book wouldn't allow me to go over $50. Just plain wrought iron trikes run ya $30.

Have you checked Michaels for these? I know Ive seen them somewhere.

Big lots has huge ones that are adorable.....probably less than $50. I think the back wheels on the white one are not strong enough to hold a heavy plant....

Rural King farm store has them. But they are as pretty as that one...Rather plain...

I have to agree with Tanya. You can buy an old tricycle. Spray paint it, crackle it, mosaic it for a lot less. Hobby Lobby here in the US is selling planter bikes and trikes this year painted in pastel multi colors. Pale blues yellows greens pinks all on the same bike. My bicycle-built-for-two is painted with brown primer to look like rust. It is stuffed with Pansy's! I thought of copying the ones from Hobby Lobby for the summer and then spraying it rust again in the fall.

That thing is really cute!! I dont know how much I would pay for it either. But it would look awesome in the yard.

THat is cute! Its true they have them at a lot of stores here in the good old USA. NOt sure over there though. But if you really want it then I say go for it(-: I know how when I want something and I don't get it I am always sorry. Set your price that you can afford and bid that much. Then don't worry till the auction is over(-: If you win its meant to be(-:
I have an old rusty trike in my garden too.(-:

I love the rusty "real" trikes that have been posted, but I can understand why you want this fancy decorative one. I think it would easily sell for $50 in an antique store here. And a reproduction in a garden shop might even be more!
Decide on your limit taking shipping into account and snipe that baby! You deserve it after what you've been through! Hope you win.

Thank ya'll for the comments. I don't have to pay shipping cuz I live near enough to pick it up. I can also factor in the exchange rate... if I get it for Aussie $50 that would be US$34. hehehe After all this time here I still think in terms of the purchasing power of the US$. So if I go up to $70 that would be US$48. Does that sound like more of a good deal? hehe

And I do have a little tryke that I got for $3 - that's US$2.08 - but this one is so beautiful and stuff like this is hardly ever put up for auction and very rarely seen. We really don't get all the beautiful things like what ya find in the States. I mean, the population is only 21million so you can imagine just how little 'stuff' there is here. There are no Hobby Lobbies or Michael's and even the $2 shops are pretty expensive comparatively.

I'm thinking of going up to A$50. Thanks for wishing me luck! Will let you know how I do.

Tanya - I love that rusty trike. Wow what a bargain at $5. I found one of these at an estate auction once and waited around all day for them to get to it. When they did it sold for somewhere between $50 and $60 and I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much. I was so disappointed I had wasted all day! I want one of these!

Cait, its wonderful. If you love it, then pay whatever you think its worth to YOU. I hope you get it.

Cait, if you want it then go for it. Do you have an Old Time Pottery near you. They have some. Also check out your flea markets.
