Frankenstein Monster Speaker

[Gory Glenn]

OK kids, get out your wallets and you too can have a vintage Frankenstein Monster Speaker for only 9 grand and free shipping! You gotta love the instructions for modding this guy to work in your car. Cars must have had a pretty crappy speakers for this to be an improvement.

How kind of the seller to offer free shipping.

 Yep, that free shipping really sways me. I wonder if this belongs to a UMAer. I think I've seen this particular one before.

[Monster Bob]

It has been offered before. The final price would be up to the buyer, but this is a nice one, for sure.

There is no arguing about the box, though. Mine is the best one out there, stored flat, but this one is very good.

It's my speaker. Ridicule of the premium price is expected, but the free shipping?? 

Bob- I've heard your box is very clean....do you have any pics of it?

It is the people who charge $10 $20 for shipping for a muti-$1000 item that should be made fun of!

Pal, if I had nine grand laying around, I would grab it in a heartbeat (I would even offer to pay for the shipping). Great piece!

No offense intended. It always amazes me when folks put up vintage toys at these kinds of prices and they sell. There are some Lincoln figures being discussed here that are fetching incredible prices. My pockets just aren't that deep. Good luck to you and welcome to the UMA!

I'm not sure what the intension was, but I just read it as amusing.
The speaker is an amazing item, maybe I should play the lottery so I could own some of these items!

Just taken this afternoon...it is wrapped in thick plastic for protection, so the colors are a bit softened.



I got this like 25 years ago in a trade with Gary Knox. It was stored flat in a book, as found, as I remember.

Very nice! Ol' Frankie looks a little alarmed (in the orange panel) that his head is in a box and/or being carried around by a kid.

Looks great big guy.  You're right, it's nicer than mine.

That is probably the best example I have ever seen. As far as the free shipping, it was just meant for light hearted amusement. When something is being sold for thousands of dollars, I would assume free shipping would accompany it, providing it wasn't extremely expensive. As mentioned, not offering free shipping on high priced items would not be amusing, but a bit irritating. It would be like buying a $40,000 vehicle and the dealer saying ok, the cup holder is not included. That will be $40,000.50.

That eBay speaker is amazing and I too wish I had that kind of dough.       It will be interesting to see where the auction goes.

I regret NOW that I ended up selling my sealed Frankenstein Bike Buddy.     Oh what a fool I was....

To anyone who may be interested, I'll gladly take into consideration any reasonable and/or equitable cash & trade or full trade offers. I love rare and high end 50's-70's toys, advertising figures, cereal boxes and other kids product packaging, store displays, etc. In addition, my interests extend to classic German cars (particularly 50's VW beetles & vans, BMWs), other European sports/exotic cars, and mid-century modern furniture, art, & decor.
